Semi-detached House – Fully Renovated – No Fuss, Just Move In

The property for sale, a semi-detached house located on a quiet residential street, captivates with its bright, open character and its easy-to-maintain garden.

The original semi-detached house was built around 1932 on a generous plot. Over the years, extensions were added to both the right and left sides, so that at first glance it seems to be a mid-terrace house rather than a semi-detached home. However, the object’s approximate width of 8 meters proves otherwise.

Approximately three steps lead up to the covered main entrance door. It is delightful that the house is not directly on the street but separated by a front garden area, and that the ground floor is raised (Hochparterre), creating the feeling of not living directly on the street.

The house comprises 2 full floors, has a full basement, and both the attic and the roof space are finished. It offers about 160 m² of living space, 8 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a guest WC, and a large terrace. A wooden staircase connects the various levels. The terrace opens out into the garden, which is bordered by raised beds designed with shrubs and perennials, features a fountain, and faces east. In front of the house, directly on the property, there is a parking space – with additional room to park bicycles.

The very openly designed ground floor, the heart of the home, is where daily life unfolds. Here you’ll find the kitchen, the living and dining area, and the guest WC. On both the upper floor and the attic, there are 3 rooms and one bathroom on each level. In the evening, the view from the attic’s loggia is simply breathtaking—a perfect spot to enjoy a sundowner.

Although built around 1932, the house does not lack modern living comfort, as it was comprehensively renovated and modernized by us in 2008/09. In addition to an improved layout, all vertical systems were reinstalled and an energy retrofit executed – meaning the roof was re-covered and insulated, new windows were installed, a gas condensing boiler fitted along with new bathrooms, and the exterior facade insulated. Moreover, all floor and wall coverings were replaced and a solar thermal system installed.

An energy certificate is available with a final energy consumption of 57 kWh/m²a, Energy Efficiency Class B (new-build semi-detached house).
