House for sale 6+1 • 203 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

THE POHL HOUSE is not an ordinary single-family home. It is the private residence of architect Egon Pohl, who, in 1959, designed it not for a client but for himself and his family. This origin remains evident today: in the site of the house on the property, in its visual connections to the garden, in the spacious living area, and in the special integration of interior spaces, conservatory, terrace, and pool.

The house is located in Hochdahl-Millrath – a calm, green, well-established area with excellent connections to Düsseldorf, Erkrath, Hilden, Wuppertal, the airport, and the surrounding region. The nearby Neander Valley, green spaces, and short distances combine privacy and everyday life in a way that has become rare: living privately while staying quickly connected, yet gaining a tangible sense of retreat.

With approximately 203 m² of living space, the house offers six rooms as well as additional usable areas in the basement. The roughly 601 m² property is characterized by mature greenery, inherent privacy, and an outdoor area that is much more than mere garden space. Terrace, conservatory, and pool create a living environment that in summer feels almost like a vacation, clearly distinguishing the house from typical existing properties.

The living area impresses with its spaciousness, light, open sightlines, fireplace, and close proximity to the garden. The conservatory opens the house to the outdoors and makes the transition to the terrace and pool especially tangible. On the upper floor, private retreat areas are created for sleeping, working, family life, or hosting guests. The floor plans display a clear architectural signature while also offering scope for a contemporary redesign.

It is important to note: THE POHL HOUSE is not a newly renovated property. The house requires extensive modernization, particularly regarding surfaces, equipment, technical installations, and energy standards. Yet it is precisely this aspect that holds particular appeal for buyers who are not looking for a cookie-cutter prefab house, but rather a home with substance, history, and potential for development. Here, the design will not work against the house but with its strengths: location, property, pool, privacy, sense of space, and origin are already present – the next stage of the design can be developed entirely according to one’s own ideas.

The property includes a double garage, an outdoor pool in the garden, and a basement with additional utility and reserve space. The sale is a private transaction and free of any broker’s commission.

THE POHL HOUSE is aimed at people who see more than just its current state: buyers who think of location, character, and future in one house and who wish to develop a unique home from an exceptional property.

THE POHL HOUSE is situated in Hochdahl-Millrath, an established, quiet, and green residential area with very good regional connections. The location perfectly combines what seldom comes together in everyday life: seclusion, privacy, closeness to nature, and short distances to nearby cities.

Hochdahl-Millrath is one of those areas whose quality is not only visible on a map, but also felt in daily life. The residential environment is established, pleasantly matured, and marked by a quiet neighborhood. Here, you do not live isolated, but you do feel a tangible sense of protection. The street remains in the background, the garden opens up to greenery, and the property conveys a degree of privacy that is not taken for granted these days.

At the same time, the connectivity is strong: Düsseldorf, Erkrath, Hilden, Wuppertal, Düsseldorf Airport, and the surrounding infrastructure are easily reachable. This makes the location especially suited for those who wish to live in a spacious and calm setting without sacrificing mobility and proximity to urban centers.

A particular advantage of the site is its proximity to the Neander Valley, one of the region’s most renowned natural and cultural landmarks. Here, green spaces, walking paths, opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and openness are not merely options for the weekend at your doorstep but actively shape the everyday living experience. For those seeking closeness to nature yet relying on good accessibility for work or family, this location offers a rare balance.

Moreover, the practical infrastructure of the surrounding area speaks in favor of the location: shopping facilities, schools, kindergartens, medical care, leisure options, and regional links are all available nearby. This creates a residential area that is interesting for families, professionals, and those desiring more space and tranquility.

The unique strength of this location lies in the combination: a mature property with garden and pool, peaceful living, closeness to nature, and at the same time rapid connections to the major centers of the Rhineland and Bergisches Land. It is precisely this mix that makes THE POHL HOUSE so special.

Here, one does not have to choose between urban life and garden retreat, between everyday life and seclusion, between mobility and privacy. This location offers both: a home that provides space and seclusion – while still remaining connected to everything important.

THE POHL HOUSE impresses less through a temporarily modernized equipment than through its rare inherent qualities: an architect-designed house endowed with a generous sense of space, a mature property, conservatory, terrace, outdoor pool, and a distinct architectural signature.

On the ground floor, open sightlines, large windows, the living area with its fireplace, and the connection to the conservatory define the character of the house. The conservatory forms a special transition between interior spaces, the terrace, garden, and pool. It creates a bright, sheltered living area that opens the house to the outdoors and makes the garden directly accessible in everyday life.

The outdoor area is one of the property’s strongest features in terms of equipment and usability. The approximately 601 m² property is maturely landscaped and conveys a high degree of privacy. Terrace, garden, and pool together form a rare living and leisure area directly at the house. The pool is present and significantly shapes the character of the property; it should be technically and aesthetically inspected and possibly renewed as part of the modernization.

The house offers about 203 m² of living space, spread over six rooms. The spatial layout is suited for families, home office work, accommodating guests, creating retreats, and developing individual usage concepts. The upper floor provides private rooms with room for development. The existing floor plans showcase a clear, functional architecture while also allowing scope for a contemporary reinterpretation.

Additionally, the property includes a basement with utility and reserve spaces as well as a double garage. The basement enhances the functionality by providing storage, technical rooms, and ancillary spaces, thereby offering additional flexibility.

It is essential to set the right expectation: THE POHL HOUSE is not a freshly renovated property. It is in need of comprehensive modernization, particularly with regard to surfaces, equipment, bathrooms, kitchen, technical installations, energy standards, and contemporary living comfort. Yet, precisely in this lies the exceptional opportunity: buyers are not acquiring a generic finished product but a house with substance, origin, and extraordinary development potential.

The existing equipment should therefore be seen primarily as a foundation: fireplace, conservatory, pool, terrace, garden, double garage, spacious rooms, and the special position of the house on the property are already in place. The next level of equipment quality can be developed consistently according to one’s own vision.

This house is intended for people who not only consider the current state but also recognize the potential: to transform a characterful architect-designed house into a personalized home with a garden, pool, privacy, and modern living quality.
