Semi-detached House – Completely Renovated – With Minimal Effort – Just Move In

The property for sale, a semi-detached house located on a quiet residential street, impresses with its bright and open character as well as its uncomplicated garden.

Originally built around 1930 on a generous plot, the semi-detached house was later extended on both the right and left sides, so that at first glance it appears to be a terraced mid-house rather than a semi-detached one. However, this is contradicted by the building’s width of approximately 8 meters.

After ascending three steps, you reach the covered front door. It is delightful that the house is not situated directly on the street but is set back behind a front garden area, and that the ground floor lies on a raised main level, giving the impression of not living directly on the street.

The house features two full floors, a full basement, and both the attic and the roof space are finished. It offers about 160 m² of living space, 8 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a guest WC, and a large terrace. A wooden staircase connects the various levels. From the terrace, you gain access to the garden, which is bordered by raised beds planted with shrubs and perennials, features a fountain, and is oriented to the east. In front of the house, directly on the property, there is a parking space for a car – and there is still room to park bicycles.

Life unfolds on the very open ground floor – the heart of the house. Here you will find the kitchen, the combined living and dining area, and the guest WC. On both the upper floor and the attic, there are 3 rooms and a bathroom on each level. The view from the loggia in the attic during the evening hours is stunning, offering the perfect spot to enjoy a sundowner.

Although built around 1930, the house does not lack modern living comfort. It was completely overhauled and modernized in 2008/09. In addition to an improved layout, all rising utilities were replaced and an energy-efficient refurbishment was carried out – the roof was newly covered and insulated, new windows were installed, as well as a gas condensing central heating system and new bathrooms, and the exterior facade was insulated. Moreover, all floor and wall finishes were renewed and a solar thermal system was installed.

An energy certificate is available, showing a final energy consumption of 57 kWh/m² per year and an energy efficiency rating of B (comparable to a new single-family home).
