Flat to rent 2+kk • 51 m² without real estateHebbelstr. 26, , North Rhine-Westphalia

The well-maintained multi-family house features a modern, new energy-saving gas condensing boiler that was replaced only recently, along with a central hot water supply (no energy-hungry instant water heaters). The hot water is metered separately in each apartment, so you only pay for what is actually used.

The building boasts thermally insulated exterior walls all around, an insulated attic, and a new roof covering enhanced by additional thermal insulation—with extra insulation installed in the newly built dormers. To further reduce energy costs, a few months ago the existing plastic windows with insulating glazing were replaced throughout the entire building with new triple-glazed window elements, which additionally result in significant energy savings. The energy performance certificate was issued before all these energy measures were implemented, so the values listed there have been further improved as a result of the extensive upgrades.

Wireless meters are mounted on the radiators, meaning that an annual visit by a meter reader to each apartment is no longer necessary. The stairwell is equipped with windows, allowing natural daylight to brighten the space.

The apartment is located on the second upper floor—in other words, in the attic of the building at Hebbelstr. 26 in Hattingen. Above it, there are drying areas stretching across the full width of the building for airing laundry, so no one lives directly above the apartment.

The property is situated in the heart of Hattingen’s South City, not far from the historic old town. In the immediate vicinity, you will find Hattingen’s vocational school, a branch of Sparkasse Hattingen, a bakery, and two grocery stores. French fries and pizza are also conveniently located just around the corner. Hebbelstraße itself is a very quiet residential street.

Hattingen’s city center as well as the old town are about a 5‑minute walk away, and the nearest bus stop is only about a 2‑minute walk away. In the center, there is an S-Bahn stop (line S3) with services to Essen and Oberhausen. Additionally, a tram runs every 10 minutes to Bochum’s main station. Directly opposite, the bus station offers further connections, for example to Bochum or Wuppertal—all within a 5‑minute walk.

The apartment features an 18 m² roof balcony (facing south/west – meaning it basks in the sun from early afternoon until sunset) that spans the entire width of the apartment, as well as a bright, tiled bathroom with a window, bathtub, sink, and toilet. The sanitary fixtures are white, with tiles extending up to door height; the base tone of the tiles is white with subtle marbling, and there is a central hot water supply. The balcony is accessible from the living area, and roller shutters are installed in front of the balcony doors since the balcony is exposed to the sun until sunset.

The apartment underwent a complete renovation a few years ago—new electrical installations were installed, new tiled floors were laid in the kitchen and hallway, and the kitchen’s tiled backsplash was renewed. Additionally, impact sound insulation mats were added. This results in a very bright apartment with ample space, as it features no sloping ceilings and comes with high-quality fittings.

Included with the apartment is a private basement storage room. There is also a designated space in the basement for a washing machine. Furthermore, there is an attic that spans the entire width of the building, which can be used for drying laundry and is located directly above the attic apartment.

This is a very quiet and well-maintained building occupied solely by single-person and two-person households. The neighbors would prefer a new resident who is a single individual; the apartment is not suitable for shared living arrangements. The lease begins on October 1, 2026. Upon request, various pieces of furniture can be included. Additionally, the current tenant is willing to sell the kitchen and several pieces of furniture, although this is not mandatory for renting. Please note that the furniture shown in the pictures belonged to the previous tenant—current images of the apartment are not available—but the apartment for rent is the one depicted, only furnished differently.

Keeping a dog in the apartment is not permitted.

If desired (but not mandatory), a single car garage in the parking area behind the house can be rented on a short-term basis. There is direct access from the building to the garage yard. The price for the garage is €80.00 per month.
