House for sale 5+1 • 169 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

A House with History, Completely Reimagined in 2023

In Detern, on a 2,066 m² plot, there stands a single-family house with nearly 169 m² of living space. Although its foundations date back to 1947, there isn’t a hint of that past in the interior design or fittings. For anyone looking for a home that isn’t just renovated but has been meticulously thought out down to the last detail, this property certainly impresses.

It features five rooms, two bathrooms, and two floors – each space showcasing visible quality workmanship rather than mere claims. On the ground floor, genuine hardwood parquet meets antique-style tiles, while the upper floor is adorned with a cork-based floor in oak effect that creates a calm, warm ambiance. The kitchen is not an afterthought but a statement in itself – equipped with real wood fronts, an island, a granite worktop, as well as a high-end induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and extractor hood.

The entire upper floor was completely redone in 2023: two new bedrooms (one featuring exposed timber framework and a dressing room), a new bathroom, new electrical installations, and a new heating system. All windows have been replaced, and the roof along with its slopes have been insulated with 240 mm of insulation wool—ensuring that no unwanted drafts occur.

Forward-thinking investments began as early as 2010: a new roof was installed for both the house and the barn, underfloor heating was added to the ground floor, and a new electrical supply was implemented. Heating is provided via a gas central heating system, complemented by a dedicated 24-kilowatt photovoltaic system complete with its distribution network—making this a home that essentially produces its own energy.

The exterior is just as impressive: an attached barn of approximately 350 m², a double garage, ten additional parking spaces, and 23 m² of terrace area. There is no basement, but there is plenty of space above ground. The energy certificate and the calculation of the living area will be provided at a later date.
