First occupancy after complete renovation – welcome to your new home!

This three-room apartment on the ground floor of a well-maintained apartment building was stripped back to the shell and completely rebuilt in 2026. You will be the first occupants following the renovation – everything here is brand new.

The apartment offers 68.69 m² of living space with a well-designed, practical layout:

– bright living room (approx. 16.1 m²)

The apartment includes two private basement storage rooms offering plenty of storage space. You will also have shared use of the garden behind the building – perfect for relaxing outdoors after work.

The building is of solid construction, contains only seven residential units, and is managed by a professional property management company. The apartment is available for immediate occupancy.

Heating and hot water are billed through your own electricity contract: you pay only for what you actually consume, with no separate heating bill and no unpleasant additional charges.

The apartment is located in the popular Herten-Westerholt district, only around 200 metres from the historic “Altes Dorf Westerholt” old town, with its half-timbered houses and church.
