Below is the English translation of the text marked by the XML tag :

This extraordinary villa combines modern architecture, superior construction quality, and a well-thought-out spatial concept spread over three levels. Situated on a highly sought-after hillside, the property offers an impressive southern view of the Kinzigtal, marrying prestigious living with high everyday functionality. The layout is generous, clearly divided into zones, and ideal for families who value comfort, privacy, and an upscale living environment.

Highlights at a glance: 323 m² of living space · Built in 2023 · Panoramic view of the Kinzigtal · 40 m² south-west facing terrace · Klafs sauna · 4 bathrooms + guest WC · KNX smart home · Air conditioning · Energy efficiency class A+ · Fireplace · Optional in-law suite · Freight lift connecting all three levels · 4 parking spaces

From the moment you enter the house, a unique impression is created: The spacious entrance area opens up to reveal an atrium over 6.5 meters high with a full glass balustrade and solid oak wood steps. On the entrance level you’ll find three bedrooms – two children’s rooms with their own bathroom, as well as a separately arranged master suite with a bedroom, dressing room, and master bathroom featuring a bathtub and a large, walk-in glass shower.

The upper floor forms the representative central hub of the home. Here you find the spacious open-plan kitchen with an island and panoramic view, as well as a separate living room with a fireplace and a striking industrial-style partition made of real steel – complemented by an internal window also crafted from real steel profiles. Both rooms open via large lift-slide systems onto the 40 m² south-west terrace, which has been designed as an extended living space outdoors. This level is further completed by a guest WC and a storage room adjacent to the kitchen.

The high-quality design continues seamlessly into the basement: A spacious wellness area with a Klafs glass sauna, shower, and WC provides a high-level private retreat. This level is further enhanced by a guest room with its own en-suite bathroom, a study with built-in shelving, a hobby room, as well as two direct ground-level accesses to the garden – all rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and an abundance of natural light. A generous corridor with floor spotlights and additional built-in storage connects the rooms. Due to the two separate direct-level entrances, the basement can also optionally be used as an independent in-law suite (for example, for an au pair, caregiver, or home office). Additionally on this level are a technical room, a utility room with connection possibilities for two washing machines, as well as a storage room that can optionally also be used as a kitchen (all necessary connections are pre-installed).

Thoughtful details such as direct access to the garage (40 m²), laundry chutes from both bathrooms directly into the utility room, an elevated platform for the washing machine and dryer, and a convenient freight lift connecting all three floors underscore the property’s high functional standards. In total, there are four parking spaces available: three in the enclosed courtyard and one additional space in the garage.

The property is located in a quiet hillside and vantage point above the historic old town of Gelnhäuser and uniquely combines nature, proximity to the city center, and good connections to the Rhine-Main area.

The south-facing aspect offers a beautiful view over the Kinzigtal. At the same time, the forest begins as close as approximately 100 meters away – ideal conditions for walks, exercise, and relaxation right outside your door.

Despite its close-to-nature setting, the historic old town of Gelnhausen—with its restaurants, cafés, and shopping opportunities—is reachable within a few minutes’ walk. The town center and the Obermarkt bus stop are each only about 330 meters away as the crow flies, and the train station is approximately 1 kilometer away. Schools, kindergartens, and everyday amenities are also in the immediate vicinity.

Thus, the location offers a rare combination of privacy and tranquility, immediate closeness to nature, urban infrastructure, and rapid access to the Rhine-Main area.

Furnishings and Decoration

The property is rented partially furnished in high quality. The kitchen, all built-in wardrobes, the permanently installed lighting, and numerous other fixtures are part of the rental property. Furthermore, additional furniture and fittings can remain in the property based on individual agreement; no additional surcharge will be applied to the rent. The extent of these items is detailed in an inventory list attached to the rental contract.

E-Mobility

The infrastructure for adding a wallbox is already in place: In the garage, there is a wall-side connection point available, and a cable is laid in the courtyard. No charging installation is currently installed. Procurement and professional installation by a certified electrical contractor are the tenant’s responsibility; the landlord will grant approval provided the work is carried out correctly.

Additional Costs, Heating and Electricity

The monthly additional costs of 380 euros cover property tax, insurance, waste disposal, water, as well as ongoing maintenance – particularly for the chimney sweep, freight lift, courtyard gate, heat pump, and ventilation system.

Household electricity and heat pump electricity are contracted and paid directly by the tenant with the respective supplier. The heat pump has its own meter and provides both heating and hot water.

As a non-binding indicative value, the electricity costs of the heat pump under previous use – even considering the self-generated solar power – were around 170 euros per month. Actual costs depend, in particular, on individual consumption, electricity tariffs, and PV yield.

The tenant is also responsible for setting up the internet connection independently.

Photovoltaic System – Benefit for the Tenant

The 5.6 kWp photovoltaic system generates electricity for direct use within the property:

• Heat pump – Solar power is primarily used for heating and hot water.

• Household – Additional available electricity is provided for other electrical appliances.

• Feed-in – Electricity not consumed directly in the property is fed into the public grid.

The solar electricity used directly is provided to the tenant free of charge, thereby reducing the required grid electricity for the heat pump and household.

Electricity fed into the grid and the feed-in tariff remain with the landlord. No energy storage system is installed.

All consumption and cost figures are based on previous private usage and serve solely as non-binding indicative values.
