House for sale 7+1 • 230 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

The property, built in 1972 as an architect’s house with an ancillary apartment, is situated on a quiet slope, only about 80 meters from the Panorama Trail at Steinberg. It offers an unobstructed view of Galgenberg as well as the city to the east. In the upper part of the property, there is an attractively designed, enclosed garden.

Thanks to its special layout, the house is suitable both for a larger family – with a total of six rooms – and for self-employed individuals or freelancers who wish to combine living and working under one roof. Private and working areas can be clearly separated. The ancillary apartment is connected to the living area via an internal staircase, yet it also has its own outdoor entrance and a separate mailing address.

In 2002, the entire building was comprehensively refurbished and adapted to the needs of the current owners. During the renovation, for example, walls, flooring as well as electrical and sanitary installations were renewed. The upper living level was opened up toward the protected, southwest-facing garden and fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows.

High-quality beech parquet flooring was installed in all living areas according to bioclimatic principles; the spacious kitchen-diner received terracotta tile flooring. The bathrooms were completely redesigned and brought up to a modern standard again in 2022. Also in 2022, there was an extensive renovation of the kitchen. Among other things, new heating elements were installed, the window area was enlarged, and a new fitted kitchen with high-quality branded appliances was installed.

The ancillary apartment was designed as an office and practice area for management coaching and supervision for a discerning clientele. If necessary, it can be converted back into a separate, self-contained residential unit and, for example, rented out.

In the basement are located the heating system, two cellar rooms, the building connections, and a heated hobby room with natural light. Heating and hot water are provided by a modern gas condensing boiler. An energy certificate in energy efficiency class D is available.

In the lower area of the property, there is a carport and a garage. Another parking space has been created immediately in front of the entrance to the living area and is particularly suitable for the installation of a charging station for electric vehicles.

Overall, the property is in very well-maintained condition. Apart from individual adaptations to suit the new owners’ personal design preferences, no fundamental renovation measures are necessary.

The house is located on the edge of a residential area built in 1972, which is now characterized by its mature trees and a pleasantly green living environment. The forest at Steinberg can be reached on foot or by bicycle in about two minutes via a small side street.

Schools – including a primary and secondary school – as well as a kindergarten are at most a five-minute walk away. Numerous shops for everyday needs are also within walking distance.

Selected walking distances:

• Bus stop: approximately 7 minutes

• Aldi, bakery, and pharmacy: around 8 minutes

• Denns Biomarkt: about 12 minutes

• HIT supermarket: roughly 15 minutes

The high-quality fitted kitchen and the custom-made, handcrafted built-in furniture – among others in the bathroom, hallway, and cloakroom – are included in the purchase price. Their current value is estimated at approximately 40,000 euros in total. As long as these items are tax-recognized as movable inventory and are separately listed in the purchase contract, they can be disregarded when calculating the property transfer tax.

The spacious roof area offers good conditions for installing a photovoltaic or solar thermal system. In addition, there is the option to expand the building by an additional floor of up to roughly 100 m². A preliminary architectural plan for this is already available. The additional floor would offer extensive views over the Hildesheim old town and its churches.

The office and practice area, or ancillary apartment, located on the lower level is completely accessible and designed barrier-free.

The main apartment on the upper floor can also be reached barrier-free via the garden; however, the regular main entrance is reached by a staircase. Within the apartment, all rooms are without thresholds and are equipped with especially wide, wheelchair-accessible doors.
