Some apartments are simply more than four walls – they have personality. This lovingly maintained 2-room attic apartment charms with its distinctive open ceiling in the living area. A home that immediately invites you to feel good.

On approximately 61 m² of living space, you'll find a thoughtful layout that makes efficient use of every square meter and offers generous areas for your personal interior design. The bright rooms with large dormer windows create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, while the exposed roof beams lend the apartment a unique character.

The light-flooded living and dining area forms the heart of the apartment and offers a variety of design possibilities. Here, living, relaxing, and enjoying come together in perfect harmony.

The bedroom also impresses with its pleasant size and provides ample space for a large wardrobe as well as a cozy retreat.

The fitted kitchen with premium appliances is included in the purchase price, allowing for an uncomplicated move-in or serving as a bonus for swift rental.

Another highlight is the spacious daylight bathroom with a window, bathtub, and separate shower – a feature that is by no means customary in an apartment of this size.

Laminate floors in the living areas and easy-to-maintain tiles in the kitchen and bathroom underscore the overall well-maintained impression of the apartment.

A private cellar room, connections for a washing machine and dryer in the communal laundry room (in the basement), and additional storage space in the attic offer practical storage solutions and complete the package.

The right-bank district of Ensen/Westhoven in southern Cologne represents what many people especially appreciate about Cologne: a well-established neighborhood with heart, history, and genuine community spirit. It is a residential location that ideally combines urban living with nature-inspired recreation, offering a pleasant alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Daily necessities – including discount stores, a pharmacy, a supermarket, a bakery, a beverage market, a hairdresser, general practitioners and specialists – are within walking distance. Kindergarten and primary school are also conveniently reachable.

The apartment is situated in a quiet yet central area on a traffic-calmed residential street (30 km/h zone). Free parking options are plentiful nearby. The established surroundings are characterized by detached houses and smaller multi-family buildings.

Public transportation is excellent. The Stadtbahn line 7 (a short 5-minute walk to the Gilgaustr. or Berliner Str. stop) takes you quickly to Cologne’s inner city or to the DB train stations Cologne-Porz and Cologne-Deutz. The highways A4 and A59 are accessible within minutes, ensuring optimal connectivity.

Just a few minutes away, the Rhine River invites you to enjoy long walks, jogging rounds, or cycling tours. The Rhine Cycle Path leads south towards Zündorf and north via the Poller Wiesen to Cologne-Deutz. Numerous sports clubs, leisure activities, and a friendly neighborhood make the district particularly livable. A notable meeting point is the historic Engelshof with its community center Engelshof e.V. The listed courtyard complex is today a popular venue for culture, events, various courses, and social encounters.

Ensen-Westhoven – a Cologne neighborhood with history, community, and quality of life. A place where you arrive and feel at home.

Solid Homeowners’ Association – sustainably managed and proactively maintained:

The apartment is part of a well-maintained homeowners’ association comprising 34 residential units spread across two adjoining apartment buildings. The buildings were constructed in 1962, while the attic apartments (two per building) were added later in 1994/95, setting them apart from the other units.

The residential complex is professionally and proactively managed, characterized by a solid financial foundation. There is no maintenance backlog – necessary measures are continuously planned and implemented.

Among the investments carried out in recent years are:

• Renewal of the roof covering about 10 years ago

• New central heating system (2023) convertible from oil to gas

• Extensive renovation of the drinking water and wastewater pipes in the basement (2025), including backflow preventers, water filters, and compliance with current fire protection requirements

• In 2017, renewal of the electrical installation in the basement, including switches in the individual cellar rooms

As of December 31, 2025, the maintenance reserve of the homeowners’ association totaled €220,673, providing a solid basis for the long-term preservation of the property’s value.

The ongoing management is also commendable: Annual statements have consistently come in under the estimates of the respective operating plan, so that even for 2025, a credit will be reimbursed, and the monthly service charges are significantly lower than the amounts paid. This translates into a high level of planning security and stable additional costs for tenants.

Worth Knowing:

The apartment does not feature a balcony. However, you benefit from its immediate proximity to the Rhine with its expansive green areas and promenades. The Poller Wiesen, the riverside, and the Rhine Cycle Path are only a few minutes’ walk away, offering ideal opportunities for recreation, walks, sports, and outdoor leisure.

Combined with the charming attic ambiance, the bright rooms, excellent location, and stable monthly additional costs/reliably calculated service charges, this creates an attractive overall package—whether as a cozy home for singles or couples, or as an attractive investment with long-term value potential and quick rental prospects.

The energy certificate was issued before the replacement of the heating system (2023); the new condensing boiler technology is likely to have improved the values listed in the 2018 energy certificate.
