House to rent 5+1 • 140 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

The terraced house for rent, with a width of 6.74 meters, resembles more a semi-detached house. It was built in 1979 and has been continuously maintained and partially modernized; see the equipment section for details. The total living area of approximately 140 m² is spread over 5 rooms, one bathroom, and a guest WC located on the ground floor, first floor, and converted attic, along with a spacious terrace.

In the converted hobby basement—with an adjacent separate workshop, a heating room, and a separate shower—there are an additional approximately 50 m² of usable space. The property, offering privacy with mature trees, is about 238 m² in size and, owing to its rectangular, ground-level layout, lends itself to excellent use. Two to three cars can be accommodated in the single garage attached to the house with a parking space in front, or on an additional parking space on the property.

The house is situated in a traffic-calmed, well-maintained terraced housing estate in Bergisch Gladbach (Bensberg/Refrath), right on a quiet play street lined with beautiful urban trees. Bergisch Gladbach – Bensberg/Refrath is one of the most sought-after locations in the city area. Thanks to the nearby highways A4 and A3, both the inner cities of Cologne or Bergisch Gladbach, the scenically attractive Bergisches Land, or the Cologne/Bonn Airport can be reached within 15–20 minutes. Daily shopping facilities are within a 5–10 minute walk. With the tram stop only about a 5-minute walk away, it is just 2–3 stops to schools and the center of Bensberg. A tram ride to Cologne’s old town takes roughly 25 minutes.

The Otto-Hahn secondary school and high school are equally easy to reach, as are the nationally renowned Mediterrana spa and the Saaler Mühle recreational area with its extensive woodlands. The large Königsforst, only a 10-minute walk away, invites you to go hiking, walking, or cycling.

The house already features nearly new, energy-efficient, double-glazed plastic windows, a new modern gas condensing boiler, and a similarly renovated, double-insulated roof. Its exterior was renovated a few years ago, giving it a very well-maintained appearance. The canopy and entrance door have been replaced, and the garage has been completely renovated. The kitchen, hall on the ground floor, and guest WC are finished with high-quality tiling, while the living/dining room boasts solid wood parquet flooring. The bedroom and the children’s rooms, in turn, are fitted with high-quality laminate flooring.

Other features include electric shutters with a timer throughout the ground floor, lockable burglar-proof fittings on the ground floor windows and doors, and a large garden terrace with an awning. The rental is offered in its current, unrenovated condition. The security deposit is equal to 3 net cold rents. Utility costs for electricity, gas, and water are paid directly by the tenant to the providers. Optionally, a cable connection can be activated for 21 euros per month directly through the provider.
