Flat for sale 3+1 • 90 m² without real estate, Hesse

This well-maintained 3-room apartment on the first floor of a multi-family house built in 1991 offers a well-conceived floor plan on around 90 m²—a layout that is rarely seen in today’s new buildings. The 90 m² refer to the pure indoor living area—the balcony is extra.

The heart of the apartment is the living and dining room, which measures just under 32 m²: 3.98 by 7.93 meters, almost eight meters in length—providing enough space for a proper dining set and a separate living area without feeling cramped. It opens to the south through two double doors, each two meters wide, leading onto the balcony—a four meter opening that, during summer, connects indoors and outdoors into one space and in winter allows light to penetrate deep into the apartment.

The balcony measures 4.70 × 2.10 meters and, at nearly ten square meters, provides a second living area—there is room side by side for both a dining table and sun loungers, not one after the other. It is covered by the level above, has an additional awning to provide shade on hot afternoons, and during a summer rain, the table remains covered. The view looks out over the landscaped garden area with lawn, shrubs, and young trees—not onto parking lots or a street.

On the same south side is the second room with 12.1 m², which has so far functioned as the bedroom: a garden in front of the window and the street at the back, making it very quiet. The third room, at 15.9 m², is larger and was last used as an office and guest room. Which one becomes the bedroom and which becomes the office or children’s room is completely up to you, without any structural changes. Both rooms are directly accessible from the hallway—there are no through-rooms.

The bathroom is a true full bathroom: a bathtub and a separate shower side by side, plus a toilet, washbasin, and a window for ventilation. Together with the separate guest toilet, there are two toilets for three rooms—a difference you notice every morning in everyday life with children or guests. The kitchen is a separate, enclosed room with a window.

The building comprises only six residential units over three levels—a small, manageable community that self-manages. This is reflected in the monthly service charge of €200, which already includes heating and building insurance. The first floor is the quietest address in the building: no through-traffic like on the ground floor, no sloping ceilings as found under the roof, just one flight of stairs up. Additionally, there is a communal garden and an outdoor parking space directly on the street, accessible without reversing and deep enough for two compact vehicles parked one behind the other.

Two things have already been done—and they are the two most expensive items. In 2014 the gas heating system was renewed: no need for replacement, no pressure for modernization. And around eight years ago, the kitchen was custom-built; its tall cabinets reach all the way up to the ceiling, and it is taken over complete with all appliances—oven, cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator—without any additional costs. You can move in and cook the very same evening.

The remaining finishes date from the time of construction and are well maintained, yet in need of your personal touch: the bathroom, floors, and interior doors offer space for your own style. This has been taken into account in the purchase price—you won’t be paying for modernization that you would anyway carry out according to your taste, and the expensive items have already been handled for you.

The apartment is empty. The handover date is arranged according to your preferences, and you have plenty of time to plan any work before moving in.

Lorsch is located on the Hessian Bergstraße, in the Bergstraße district, and combines the tranquility of a small town with connectivity that is usually only found much closer to metropolitan areas.

The town has a functioning center with a marketplace, half-timbered houses, cafés, owner-operated shops, and supermarkets for daily needs—supplemented by ten childcare centers run by the municipality, church, or independent organizations, the Wingertsberg School as the largest primary school in the Bergstraße district, the Werner-von-Siemens School for secondary education, a music school, a heated outdoor swimming pool, and the bird park in Birkengarten. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Lorsch Abbey with its royal hall practically lies at your doorstep.

In terms of transport, the A67 (Darmstadt–Mannheim) has its own junction in Lorsch, and the A5 can be reached via the Bensheim/Lorsch junction. Lorsch railway station is on the Nibelungenbahn; it takes about five minutes by train to Bensheim with an IC stop. Mannheim, Darmstadt, Heidelberg, and Frankfurt are all within commuting distance.

Lärchenstrasse itself is a short, traffic-calmed residential street without through traffic—only residents drive here. The nearest bus stops—Siemensschule and Platanenstrasse—are reached in about a four-minute walk, and the town center with the marketplace, shops, and the abbey is conveniently accessible by bicycle.

Particularly convenient for families: the Werner-von-Siemens School—a combined primary and secondary school—is located about 300 meters away, a five-minute walk without having to cross a main road. The Catholic kindergarten St. Benedikt is just under one kilometer away, and the Wingertsberg School as an elementary school about two kilometers; overall there are ten daycare centers in Lorsch. Secondary schools and comprehensive schools can be reached in Bensheim, around eight kilometers away and well connected by bus and train.

For everyday shopping: the Penny Market on Hirschstrasse is about 500 meters away, with Aldi and Rewe located in the northern part of town. A general practitioner and pharmacies can be found in the town center, roughly one kilometer away.
