Flat to rent 1 bedroom • 70 m² without real estateKöln Merheim Nordrhein-Westfalen 51109

The spacious open-plan apartment is located on the ground floor of a two-family house in Cologne-Merheim. It was fully renovated two years ago, fitted with new flooring, and equipped with a new fitted kitchen. The house is situated in a residential area consisting mainly of one- and two-family homes with large gardens. The garden terrace offers a lovely view of the greenery. Large, wide windows at both the front and rear allow plenty of natural light into the apartment.

This apartment is particularly suitable for a single person, but is also ideal as a second home for business purposes, as well as for senior citizens or professional musicians.

The property stands out for its excellent transport links. Merheim, a district of Cologne, is well connected and has very good infrastructure. Several motorway junctions can be reached within just a few minutes by car. The Kalker Friedhof stop on KVB line 1 is only a few minutes’ walk away. From there, public transport provides quick access to Cologne Messe/Deutz station (8 minutes), the city centre (11 minutes), the Cologne Trade Fair, the main railway station, or, in the opposite direction, Bergisch Gladbach/Bensberg. Cologne Bonn Airport can also be reached by car in under 15 minutes.

All shops for daily necessities, doctors and pharmacies, Cologne-Merheim municipal hospitals, the two local parishes, numerous leisure facilities and restaurants, as well as the Merheimer Heide recreational area, are within walking distance—virtually on the doorstep.

Thanks to its generous open-plan layout, the apartment can easily be divided into living, sleeping, dining and working areas, further facilitated by the two partition walls at the rear.

The bright, separate kitchen is flooded with sunlight and features a fully equipped fitted kitchen with a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, ceramic hob, fan-assisted oven and a large wall of cabinets providing ample storage space.

The separate bathroom has a window and includes a toilet, washbasin with a built-in mirrored cabinet, shower with a glass screen, and a fitted cupboard providing additional storage. The apartment also includes a large shoe cabinet in the hallway and a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe for coats or additional storage, featuring a pull-down clothes rail.

All windows in the apartment have shutters, most of which are electrically operated. The large south-west-facing garden terrace offers plenty of space for relaxation and receives sunlight until the evening, allowing for “outdoor living” in summer. It also features an extra-wide electric awning. There is ample space on the terrace for various potted plants. The basement provides space for personal belongings, shelving for supplies and storage for items that are rarely used.

The private basement storage unit also has a dedicated washing-machine connection.

There is always ample on-street parking available.

The living areas are heated by the apartment’s own individual heating system, which was upgraded in 2025, and controlled by a dedicated room thermostat. The heating system runs on gas, and the apartment has its own gas meter. Tenants are therefore free to choose their own gas and electricity suppliers. Cleaning of the entrance area and stairwell is already included in the service charges.

No pets and no smokers!
