BRIEFLY & CONCISELY
Solid terraced single-family house, family-owned, with a well-thought-out layout, surprisingly generous space, and a lovely garden – located in an exceptionally quiet and traffic-protected residential setting with a 30 km/h zone and a subsequent private access to the house.
A spacious living/dining area, three well-proportioned rooms on the upper floor, and a multi-purpose basement provide plenty of room for a family. In addition, there is an attic with further potential, a garden approximately 17 m deep with a terrace and a separate rear access, a front garden about 7 m deep, as well as a garage and an extra parking space.
PRIVATE SALE WITHOUT A REAL ESTATE AGENT – NO BUYER’S FEE
The house is fully functional, but it does require a modern update – a solid foundation for creating a home to your own specifications.
The terraced single-family house, built in 1984, was home to our family for many years. We have many fond memories from our time here, and it holds a special place in our hearts. As part of an inheritance, we now wish to pass it on to new owners.
The solidly constructed house offers a well-thought-out, family-friendly layout and an unusually spacious living atmosphere for a terraced home.
Ground Floor:
The spacious living and dining area forms the heart of the house and leads directly to the terrace and garden. The separate kitchen also offers space for a small dining area. A daylight guest WC and a generous hallway with a cloakroom complete the floor.
Upper Floor:
Here you will find three intelligently laid out rooms that can flexibly serve as a bedroom, children’s room, study, or guest room, as well as a spacious daylight bathroom.
Basement:
The basement offers much more than mere storage space. With a ceiling height of approximately 2.28 m, it feels pleasantly spacious. In addition to a larger room finished in a living style, there is another ample room available that can be used as a hobby room, studio, or workshop. Furthermore, there is a separate heating and utility connection room. Altogether, the basement provides valuable additional space for hobbies, work, storage, and everyday family life.
Attic:
The currently undeveloped attic offers extra usable space and further potential. It is accessible via a folding ladder; a ceiling opening for a possible future staircase access is already in place. An expansion is conceivable, subject to necessary building and regulatory requirements.
Garden and Outdoor Area:
The garden, approximately 17 m deep, with a terrace and a small garden shed, offers plenty of space for relaxing, playing, and gardening. Thanks to its west-northwest orientation, the terrace and garden enjoy pleasant light in the afternoons and evenings – and, depending on the season, the soft evening sun.
Particularly practical is the separate rear garden access with its own gate. This means that bicycles and garden tools do not have to be carried through the house. The front garden, about 7 m deep, also creates a pleasant distance at the front of the property.
The property also includes a garage and an additional parking space.
Solid Basis for Your Own Ideas:
The house is in a solid and functional condition but largely reflects the standard of its construction period. A modern update is therefore to be expected. The solid construction, proven layout, additional spaces, and a beautiful outdoor area provide an excellent basis for further developing the house according to your own ideas.
We would be delighted if our longtime parental home could once again be a place where a new family feels just as at home.
A House with History – and a Solid Foundation for New Beginnings.
QUIET LIVING – WELL CONNECTED
The house is located in Essen-Gerschede, a green and established residential area in the northwest of Essen, characterized by single-family and smaller multi-family houses and a pleasant neighborhood.
Particularly attractive is the quiet, low-traffic micro-location. The surrounding residential street is already in a 30 km/h zone. From this street, a private access path or cul-de-sac leads to the house, meaning there is no typical through traffic directly in front of the property. The garage forecourt with its small green area further enhances the protected feel of the location.
Despite the tranquil setting, public transport and everyday facilities are quickly accessible.
A bus/train stop is located about 200 m away and can be reached within a few minutes on foot. The nearest S-Bahn station is approximately 500 m away and offers good connections toward Essen’s city center and other destinations in the Ruhr area.
A bakery and shops for daily needs are found about 600 m away. Essen-Borbeck, with further shopping options, restaurants, doctors, and services, is roughly 1.8 km away.
Kindergartens and primary schools are within walking distance, and several secondary schools are also conveniently located nearby.
The Essen city center is about 7 km away, while the Westfield Centro in Oberhausen is around 5.5 km distant. The closest motorway on-ramp is approximately 2.7 km away.
Thus, the location combines two aspects that complement daily life beautifully: quiet, family-friendly living without through traffic immediately outside the house, and short distances to local amenities, schools, public transport, and surrounding city centers.
FACILITIES AND NEED FOR MODERNIZATION
The house was built in 1984 using solid construction methods and has a width of approximately 6 m. Overall, the features are fully functional, but in many essential areas, they still reflect the standard of their time. Hence, a modern update should be planned.
Overview of Features:
• Spacious living and dining area with access to the terrace and garden
• Separate kitchen with space for an additional dining area
• Daylight guest WC on the ground floor
• Three well-proportioned rooms on the upper floor
• Spacious daylight bathroom
• Basement with a room height of approximately 2.28 m
• Larger basement room finished for living use
• Additional hobby/workshop room
• Separate heating and utility connection room
• Undeveloped attic with good usable space
• Attic access via a folding ladder; ceiling opening available for a possible future staircase
• Garden approximately 17 m deep with a terrace facing west-northwest
• Front garden approximately 7 m deep facing east-southeast
• Small garden shed
• Separate rear garden access with garden gate
• Garage with a 400-V high-power connection
• Additional parking space in front of the garage
• Custom-made hardwood front door
Modernization Needs:
In parts, the equipment reflects the 1980s standard. Modernization is particularly needed for the roof windows as well as for the bathroom and guest WC. Although the sanitary facilities are fully functional, their design remains characteristic of the construction period.
Additionally, the existing wooden windows and terrace door should be considered for replacement during any modernization.
The existing gas heating is fully operational but no longer meets today’s technical standards and should be upgraded in the future.
The custom-made hardwood front door is in good and functional condition. The electrical, gas, and water installations are, to our knowledge, fully operational.
Floor coverings, wall surfaces, and other aspects of the interior offer additional potential for designing the space to your own taste.
In summary, the house is not a pre-modernized property but offers a solid structural foundation with substantial potential for personal design.
