Flat for sale 4+1 • 101 m² without real estateFichtestrasse 5 Leipzig Südvorstadt Sachsen 04275

Property Data

This property is a Gründerzeit building (listed historic building) that was comprehensively renovated between 1998 and 2000. Two nearly identical houses (Fichtestraße No. 5 and 7) have been built adjoining one another. They are oriented so that the secondary rooms face south toward the street (with their own balcony), while the kitchen, living room, and interior loggia face north toward the landscaped garden area, which features mature trees, parking spaces, a quiet seating area with benches, barbecue facilities for residents, and a small children's playground. Each house is situated on a plot of nearly 1,000 square meters.

All 12 apartments are accessible via a spacious stairway adorned with beautiful Gründerzeit elements and, of course, by elevator. Each apartment includes its own basement storage compartment. An intercom system is, of course, provided. Due to the varying apartment sizes (approximately 47 – 100 sqm), there is a well-balanced mix of tenants in the building.

Location/Infrastructure

Fichtestraße is located in Leipzig’s Südvorstadt, an extremely popular area with consistently high residential demand. Within a few minutes’ walk, one can reach Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, affectionately known as “Karli.” This area boasts a young and vibrant bar and cultural scene; life here unfolds away from the cookie-cutter tourism of the downtown area: freelancers, artists, an alternative scene (with gourmet delis, etc.), street cafés... a bustling life outdoors on the street. All everyday shopping facilities are in the immediate vicinity, as are HTWK University of Applied Sciences, daycare centers, a medical center, an elementary school, a high school, and much more.

Also, just a few minutes’ walk to the west—after crossing August-Bebel-Straße with its beautifully restored Renaissance houses—you can reach the Auenwald at Fockeberg, Leipzig’s green lung stretching from north to south, featuring walking paths, playgrounds, parks (such as Clara-Zetkin-Park), and spaces for events near the racecourse and the Glashaus restaurant by the park stage. Whether it’s canoe trips on the Weiße Elster, cycling north to the Leipzig Zoo, or heading south to the Cospudener or Markkleeberger Lake… everything is continuously accessible amidst lush nature. Even the downtown area is only a 15-minute walk away, yet residing here remains peaceful.

It is understandable that this residential location with excellent access to public transportation is extremely desirable, particularly for young families.

Rooms/Interior Features

The apartment on offer is located on the 3rd upper floor and is the only four-room apartment in the building with over 100 sqm of living space, making it especially sought-after since it provides additional space for an extra child's room or an office (see the attached floor plan for room sizes and layout).

The sanitary equipment, installed during the general renovation, is considered high-quality and remains modern. The flooring consists of solid oak parquet, while the kitchen and bathroom/sanitary rooms are tiled, and the ancillary rooms have laminate flooring.

As part of the renovation, the windows—required by the heritage protection regulations—to be fitted with insulating glass panes were reproduced in original form and newly installed.

The existing fitted kitchen can potentially be acquired at a favorable price from the current tenant or removed upon request.

In addition to a south-facing balcony, the apartment features a covered loggia of approximately 8-9 sqm, accessible from the kitchen and living room, overlooking the large, green garden behind the building.

Other Information

The apartment for sale was purchased directly by the owner from the developer as a first acquisition in 1999 and has been continuously rented ever since (no vacancies).

A high, accrued maintenance reserve is included in the purchase price.

The property is offered directly by the owner, so no agent fees will incur. In the event of interest, the buyer is required to provide proof of funds.

The current tenancy ends on 30.09.2026; it is intended not to re-let the property in order to leave all usage options open to the buyer.
