House for sale 6+1 • 113 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

In the coveted, listed Marienwerder Garden Courtyard Settlement – the so-called "Marienwerder Look" with red brick walls, white window frames, and a characteristic flat roof – we are offering our terraced mid-house from 1967 for sale.

The house belongs to one of the three historic house types of the settlement and was a lovingly maintained home for our family for almost 60 years.

Now we would like to hand it over to new owners who will appreciate the special charm of this settlement, which was planned along Scandinavian lines according to the plans of the architect Otto Dellemann.

The Marienwerder Garden Courtyard Settlement was developed from 1965 on former farmland behind the Klosterforst and has been protected as an ensemble since 1998.

It consists of only three house types, grouped into small rows – arranged at right angles to each other, they form quiet, traffic-free courtyards, connected by narrow footpaths. The garage courtyards are located at the edge of the settlement so that the residential area remains completely free from traffic.

The location offers the rare combination of living close to nature in a quiet, green environment (Klosterforst, Leineaue, Hinüberscher Garden) and excellent connectivity: Stadtbahn line 4, shops, a daycare center, and an elementary school right in the district, as well as major employers and even the university campus easily reachable by bicycle.

** Interior Spaces **

We have decided to completely gut the house rather than merely cosmetically refurbish it: wallpapers, wall coverings, ceiling panels, and floor coverings have been removed (tiles in the bathroom and kitchen remain). This way, the building’s substance stands exposed and unadulterated – no concealed defects, no renovation costs for a style you wouldn’t want anyway.

Ideal for buyers who want to design everything from the very first wall according to their own ideas.

** Listed Building Protection & Modernization **

Important to know: Due to its architectural significance, the settlement is under heritage protection (ensemble protection). For you as a buyer, this means that the exterior appearance with its red clinker façade is preserved. Within the interior, you can modernize and design the house entirely according to your own tastes. A major advantage: Significant tax benefits (heritage depreciation, Denkmal-AfA) can be claimed for renovation work on listed buildings. An energy certificate is not legally required for this property.

** The Special Feature **

Anyone looking for character, history, and a well-thought-out, introspective living concept with its own garden courtyard—and who enjoys the idea of completely redesigning a heritage building according to their own taste—will find a house with soul here.

The house is sold privately, so no real estate agent commission is incurred.

A garage in the nearby garage row is included in the offer.

If you are interested in breathing new life into this terraced house, we look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know briefly who will be moving in.
