Flat to rent 6+1 • 290 m² without real estate, Baden-Württemberg

Living as if you were in your own home: a spacious duplex apartment with an expansive garden area, garage, and parking space.

This estate, created by an architect for himself and his family, stands out from the typical uniformity due to its unconventional yet skilful architecture. Beneath a robust pitched roof visually divided into two halves by a continuous band of glass, you will find a living space whose atmosphere captivates everyone.

Constructed in 1978/79 on a 1,006 m² plot, the basic architectural concept is based on a wooden post-and-beam structure, with the glue-laminated beams left deliberately visible throughout the house. Wherever possible, bio-architectural methods have been used throughout. The high standards of the architecture continue with an interior that leaves nothing to be desired, even for the most discerning tastes. Among the many details, the following are noteworthy:

• Travertine flooring throughout the ground floor (with underfloor heating) and in most parts of the basement.

• An open fireplace made of sandstone.

• Bathrooms partly finished with Carrara marble and equipped with built-in furniture.

• A high-quality fitted kitchen by Plana with all electrical appliances.

• Numerous built-in pieces of furniture.

• Hewi fittings on the doors, etc.

Outdoors, there are several terraces, a private outdoor whirlpool, and an enchanting garden designed with valuable ornamental shrubs featuring a large wetland biotope crossed by a wooden footbridge. All these areas are not visible from the outside.

On the southern side of the roof, there is a solar system with a capacity of 10 kWp; the building’s hot water and heating are provided by a heat pump with geothermal loops.

Just 12 km as the crow flies from Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz, the municipality of Aichwald is situated on a hill above the Remstal at an altitude of 470 m. In recent years, Aichwald has developed into an exclusive residential area. The proximity to the big city and the ability to live close to nature—a value not to be underestimated in our times—combine here in an ideal way:

The house is surrounded by fields, orchards, forests, and vineyards, and a large equestrian stable is only 800 m away. Yet Stuttgart and the nearby district towns of Esslingen and Waiblingen are quickly reachable. Excellent bus connections serve all kindergartens and schools up to the high school level, and there are S-Bahn stations in both Esslingen and Weinstadt-Endersbach.

Associated with the main apartment is a bedroom/fireplace room with an open sandstone fireplace (connected to the ground floor via a gallery) covering 60 m², a window front with access to the west terrace (DIN 1/4) of 3.0 m² with an outdoor whirlpool; a main bathroom/wellness area (with Carrara marble flooring and wall-to-ceiling tiling) of 25.6 m², featuring a Klaf sauna, a walk-in shower (1.4 m x 1.2 m) with a Grohe shower column, and a granite washbasin (170 x 76 cm) with two sinks, a base cabinet, and two side cabinets.

On the ground floor, there is an open kitchen with a dining room (49 m², separable by a sliding door), a living room of 48 m², and a piano room of 15.3 m² (also separable by a sliding door), a utility room of 10.8 m², a utility terrace (DIN 1/4) of 3.0 m², a hallway/closet of 13.0 m², a room of 16.3 m², another room of 16.6 m², a corridor of 2.3 m², a small bathroom of 4.4 m², a conservatory of 20 m², a guest WC of 1.5 m², and a terrace of 56 m².
