Flat to rent 2 bedroom • 79 m² without real estateRosmarinheide 18a, , North Rhine-Westphalia

Underground garage, balcony, air conditioning, kitchen unit, wood stove, 2 bathrooms. Ideal for a couple without children.

This attractive maisonette apartment offers a modern and comfortable home on 79 m² of living space. The open layout spread over two levels creates a special living experience and provides plenty of space for personalized living. The deep balcony window and the bay window in the living room let in ample light. With windows facing two different directions in both the living room and the bedroom, you enjoy a pleasant light atmosphere all day long. In colder seasons, the wood stove provides warmth while you enjoy the glow of the dancing flames, and on hot days the air conditioning ensures peaceful, sleep-inducing nights.

There are two bathrooms available; one with a shower and one with a bathtub. Both bathrooms include a toilet and a window for ventilation.

On the south-facing balcony, you can bask in the sun after a tiring day at work, or relax in the shade thanks to the retractable awning.

Please note that this is a maisonette apartment, meaning that the living room (downstairs) and the bedroom (upstairs) are connected only by a staircase without a door. Essentially, the two spaces function as one room in terms of noise, and in my view it is not suitable for living with children.

Access to the underground parking space is via the basement. No matter what the weather is like, you always reach your car with dry feet—ice scraping is a thing of the past—and even in summer a cool car awaits you. If the household should have a second car, there is always a parking space available on the street. According to the portal, for comparability, the underground parking space should be excluded from the base rent, adding an extra €65. The apartment can only be rented with the underground parking space, not without it.

Only two parties share the building entrance. There is a private basement storage room with plenty of space, as well as a communal laundry room. In the laundry room, a washing machine and a dryer can be stacked (see photo; note that the photo is just an example—the washing machine and dryer are not included in the rental).

DSL, cable, and fiber optic options are available. If you are interested, the existing internet contract – Vodafone Cable 1000 – can be taken over at a favorable rate. Since it is an old contract, you would save the connection fee of €50 and €15 per month. I have never experienced any issues with Vodafone at this location.

The additional costs are, of course, strongly dependent on your personal heating habits. I have estimated €160 for a couple because I have heard from many people that they prefer receiving a refund rather than having to pay extra. A single person would prepay less in additional costs. For the year 2025, the property management calculated allocable costs of €100 per month—but that was by a very frugal person. The standard heating costs for 2018 were €5.46 per m². Although these numbers are not current today, they still serve as a useful comparison: poorly insulated 15.85 €, the German average 11.18 €, well insulated 7.42 €.

The apartment is located at the end of a dead-end street, ensuring a quiet living environment. The street leading to the underground parking exit is a side street with a 30 km/h speed limit. Within 5 minutes, you can be on foot in the forest, on a bicycle at the supermarket, or by car on the highway.

The kitchen unit with appliances is included in the rental price and is part of the base rent. This also covers the repair or replacement of the major electrical appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, stove and oven, extractor hood). The refrigerator was newly purchased in 2022 and features a combined capacity of 390 liters.

There are ceiling lamps in every room; of course, these can be replaced if desired. I can leave the wardrobe in the bedroom upon request. Both the lamps and the wardrobe do not have to be purchased—they are provided free of charge.

If you already have a bed, couch, and television, you’re ready to move in. If desired, I might even be able to source and install an additional television.

When contacting me, please include a brief note stating how many people will be moving in, your occupation, and when an ideal move-in date would be. Thank you.

If desired, the security deposit does not have to be paid as a lump sum at the beginning; it can be split into three installments.
