Flat for sale 3+1 • 76 m² without real estateTrier Zewen Rheinland-Pfalz 54294

This ground-floor apartment with a terrace and its own garden is located in a building from 1958, which in 2026 was almost entirely demolished and rebuilt except for the masonry. What remained was the solid structure. New elements include the roof, the facade, the windows, all of the technical installations, and every pipe in the house.

Three condominiums were created.

This one is on the ground floor and is approximately 75 square meters in size. From the hallway, three rooms branch off: a living room that opens onto the terrace, a large bedroom, and a third room that is suitable as a children's room, guest room, or study. The kitchen is a separate room, not just a niche in the living area. In everyday life, this makes much more of a difference than one might assume from looking at a floor plan.

The living areas have parquet flooring, while large-format tiles are installed in the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom. The interior doors are new. The bathroom has been completely rebuilt, featuring a walk-in shower with a tempered glass partition, a wall-mounted toilet, and fixtures of brand quality.

The true advantage of this apartment lies behind the house. The terrace of about 33 square meters is followed by a garden area that belongs exclusively to this apartment. Together, they amount to over sixty square meters of outdoor space, not as co-ownership but for exclusive use.

Additionally, there is a separate basement storage compartment and a parking space on the property. In the basement, all owners have access to a laundry and technical room.

Please note that a kitchen is not included in the sale.

The last German town before the Luxembourg border. It is two kilometers to the train station for Luxembourg and seven kilometers to Trier’s city center.

Zewen is Trier’s southwesternmost district, with around 3,600 residents, located right on the Moselle. It is a village with its own center that nevertheless belongs to the city: there is a day care center, an elementary school, and local clubs; the Moselle riverbank and a cycle path are right at the doorstep; Trier’s city center is just under fifteen minutes away. The landmark is the Zewen Tower, a customs and border tower from the 14th century.

For families working in Luxembourg, the Zewen elementary school is a compelling argument. It is a full-day bilingual German-French elementary school, established due to the proximity to the border, with a seamless transition to the bilingual branch of the Humboldt-Gymnasium in Trier leading up to the French Baccalauréat.

Every day, about 52,000 people commute from Germany to Luxembourg. From here, it’s a direct route. The B49 runs south of the town and reaches the border near Wasserbillig after eight kilometers, beyond which the motorway to Luxembourg City begins. Those taking the train board at Igel, two kilometers away, and continue on RE 11. Within Luxembourg, public transport is free for everyone.

Externally, it is a house from 1958. Internally, everything is new—even down to the pipes beneath the basement.

What has been preserved is what was good: the solid masonry, the foundations, and the floor slabs. Nobody builds such substance today at these prices. Everything else was replaced in 2026.

New features include the roof and the insulated facade, all windows with triple glazing and electric shutters, the front door, and all the apartment doors. Also new are the heating system, the complete electrical installation from the point of connection to the house, all water pipes, and the sewer pipes right up to the connection with the public sewer system.

This is the point where this renovation differs from most others. Anyone who has ever moved into an old building knows the sequence: first comes the joy, then comes the bill for what you couldn’t see. Here, everything has been taken care of—before moving in.

The floors, walls, and ceilings have been rebuilt, and the staircase has been completely renovated.

The work is complete. The apartment is finished and available for immediate occupation.

Heating is provided by a heat pump located in the basement, which also supplies the hot water. Warmth is delivered to the rooms via underfloor heating, with each room individually controllable. There are no wall-mounted radiators, no gas, no oil tank, and no fireplace.

A ventilation system with heat recovery exhausts the used air while retaining the heat in the house. Consequently, it is not necessary to leave windows tilted open in winter.

The energy performance certificate rates the building with efficiency class A+. Calculations show that the house uses less than half the energy permitted by the Building Energy Act.

The property comes with a subsidized loan that can be assumed. Part of it does not have to be repaid.

The renovation was financed with a KfW subsidized loan. For each of the three apartments, there is an individual loan with the Sparkasse Trier that the buyer can take over.

Two factors make this valuable. The interest rate of 2.92 percent is about one percentage point lower than what a new construction financing would currently cost, and it is fixed until October 2035. In addition, there is a repayment bonus of €30,236.50 that is still outstanding. It is not paid out but credited to the loan, thereby immediately reducing the outstanding balance, starting in October 2027.

The assumption of the loan takes place as a debt assumption through the financing bank, which will assess the buyer’s creditworthiness as with any financing. The outstanding repayment bonus will then be available to the new borrower. If an assumption does not materialize, the loan will be redeemed within the framework of the purchase contract; this does not affect the purchase price.
