About the apartment:

From the moment you enter, the bright and open living concept impresses. The centerpiece of the apartment is the spacious living and dining area with an integrated fitted kitchen. The modern, custom-made fitted kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, oven, cooktop, extractor hood, as well as a fridge/freezer combination. In addition to the dining area (positioned centrally within the living area), there is a sofa corner on the window side of the living room furnished with a comfortable sectional sofa and a TV stand. With windows on both sides of the building, plenty of daylight floods the rooms; the floor-to-ceiling window element as well as the kitchen window offer a pleasant view of the landscaped and tranquil inner courtyard. This level is complemented by a separate room, ideally suited for use as a home office, workroom, guest room, or dressing room. The separate room offers ample storage with not one but two large wardrobes! The modern daylight bathroom with an openable window blends harmoniously into the contemporary overall design of the apartment.

The special highlight is the open gallery level, which is accessible via an elegant solid wood spiral staircase and functions as a separate sleeping area. This not only gives the apartment its characteristic maisonette and loft feel but also creates an attractive spatial separation between living and sleeping areas. A large window on the upper level also ensures a bright and cheerful atmosphere. Practical, shallow built-in wardrobes and integrated shelving make optimal use of the available space under the sloping roof and provide additional storage.

About the building:

The communal areas of the building also offer a high level of everyday comfort. In the basement, there is a communal laundry room with washing machines and dryers that can be conveniently used via the digital WeWash system. The well-maintained and landscaped backyard with seating areas provides an additional place to relax, while bicycles can be stored safely and sheltered from the weather in a separate bike shed. A professional cleaning service for the entrance hall and common areas, winter service, and litter bin service further ensure a pleasantly hassle-free living experience.

Parking on Bergisch Gladbacher Straße is very relaxed, with plenty of free parking spaces available right in front of the building at all times. With a local resident’s parking permit, parking here is both economical and convenient.
