Flat for sale 5+1 • 162 m² without real estateBernsmeyerstiege 1 Münster Mitte Nordrhein-Westfalen 48145

In modern architecture and with an exceptionally well-thought-out equipment concept, this spacious penthouse apartment on the 5th floor of a residential building completed in 2020 is presented. With 161.13 m² of living space, it combines clear design, high technical comfort, and a versatile range of rooms. The elevator runs from the underground garage right up to the apartment’s front door; the apartment is accessible and designed barrier-free.

Room Concept and Living

Even the approximately 15 m² large entrance hall conveys a spacious and uncluttered impression with its two overhead windows, large-format porcelain stoneware tiles, flush and floor-to-ceiling interior doors (with the exception of the apartment’s front door), skirting boards, and a custom-made wardrobe.

The heart of the apartment is the approximately 48 m² large living and dining area with an open kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of daylight and open the view over the roofs of Münster. Large-format tiles, smooth ceilings, full-height sliding doors, and a reduced language of form shape the overall clear concept. A three-sided visible Faber gas fireplace with 10.5 kW heating output complements the living area and is controlled via remote control or app.

The later partitioned, approximately 8 m² large study is accessible via a frameless sliding glass door with Softclose from the Griffwerk range built into the wall. A custom-made fitted wardrobe along with LAN and TV connections allows comfortable use, for example, as a home office or workout room with a view of the treetops.

In addition to the main bedroom, measuring approximately 16.63 m², there are two other rooms available at approximately 14.29 m² and 14.06 m². All three bedrooms feature high-quality oak country house parquet flooring, electric blackout blinds, and custom-made, partly electric blackout curtains. One of the rooms includes a built-in wardrobe.

A KNX system ensures a look without “switch batteries” and controls the lighting, many sockets, heating, and blinds including the awning. Installed components include MDT Glastaster II Smart, Glastaster II Light, and MDT actuators for device control. The MDT IP interface provides the possibility for programming at any time and the integration of additional systems into the smart home system. The KNX project will, of course, be handed over, with the specific handover programming coordinated together.

Bathrooms

The main bathroom, approximately 13.20 m² in size, has been designed as a private wellness area. It features a level shower with rain and hand shower, large-format tiles on the ledge with mitered cuts, custom-made bathroom furniture, and an in-and-out sliding KLAFS S1 sauna with both sauna and sanarium functions.

The guest WC offers, in addition to a washbasin and toilet, another level shower with rain and hand shower.

Rooftop Terrace

The rooftop terrace, approximately 30.34 m², faces west and offers afternoon and evening sun as well as a wide view over Münster, with sightlines to the cathedral and the LVM high-rise. An integrated Warema awning in the façade, exterior lighting, a water connection, and several sockets enable comfortable use.

Ancillary Rooms

A spacious storage room with built-in shelves, as well as a separate utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, complement the available space.

The apartment includes two easily accessible underground parking spaces and an approximately 4 m² cellar compartment with a power outlet and built-in shelves.

The penthouse apartment is located in the Bernsmeyerstiege of the “Präsidentengarten” residential complex in Münster, in direct vicinity to the St. Franziskus Hospital. The modern building comprises 33 residential units, divided into 3 entrances with 11 residential units each and assigned different house numbers.

Each of the 3 entrances has its own front door with a video intercom and mailbox system as well as its own staircase and passenger lift. Within the staircase area, on this floor there is exclusively this apartment.

The building features an underground garage as well as a secure, landscaped courtyard, which can be used by all residents.

The listed former main post office is situated between the inner city ring and the penthouse.

The elevated position on the 5th floor offers a wide view over the city rooftops. From the living area and the rooftop terrace, there are sightlines to Münster Cathedral and the LVM tower. At New Year’s, a large part of the city’s fireworks can be observed from here.

The west-facing rooftop terrace ensures sun from early afternoon and enables pleasant use well into the evening hours. Despite the open view, the outdoor area offers a good degree of privacy: other rooftop terraces in the residential complex cannot view the terrace; from the street, it is hardly visible due to the existing tree cover.

The communal courtyard is landscaped and equipped with a bench and a small sandpit. Bicycle parking spaces are located immediately in front of the entrance; additionally, a bicycle cellar is available.

The community consists of owner-occupiers and tenants. Due to the mixed resident structure and the relatively small number of children, the building is perceived as quiet. The building management organizes services such as caretaker service, staircase cleaning, garden maintenance, and winter service.

The elevator connects all floors, including the underground garage, and stops directly in front of the apartment’s front door. Thus, the apartment is conveniently and barrier-free accessible.

The underground garage door for the two parking spaces included in the purchase price is opened via remote control or key.
