Do you dream of a period apartment with all the quality of a new build? High ceilings, wooden floors, and a building steeped in history? Then our apartment in the beautiful harbour district of Ruhrort could be your new home.

We have completely renovated this historic residential and commercial building dating from 1862—from new windows and roof insulation to new or restored flooring, new electrical wiring, new water pipes, new bathrooms, and much more.

The new pellet heating system provides cosy warmth economically and sustainably.

For further information or to arrange a viewing, simply get in touch—please include all relevant details in your initial enquiry.

**The apartment:**

Bedroom, study with access to the balcony, a new bathroom with a window and ventilation, a small hallway, and a large living room with a historic sliding door leading to the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Subject to agreement, the kitchen can be purchased from the current tenants.

**The building:**

This building would surely have some fascinating stories to tell, as it was built more than 150 years ago. It was already standing in Ruhrort before the first horse-drawn tram began operating there and before the old Shipping Exchange was inaugurated. It was there when the Rhine froze over and people walked on the river, and when the Rhine bridge to Homberg was built. It has survived two wars and witnessed the neighbourhood change over the years.

Thanks to the renovation, it is now ready for many more exciting decades.

**The location:**

Centrally located in Ruhrort, near Karlsplatz. You do not really even need a car here. Two supermarkets are within walking distance, as are the Leinpfad riverside promenade, a medical centre, a bakery and a traditional pastry shop, several restaurants and pubs, the Haniel Campus and Neumarkt. There is a tram stop in the immediate vicinity. Mühlenweide, the Ruhrort Yacht Club, additional bus stops and a railway station are also not far away.

**The neighbourhood:**

First things first: Ruhrort is not Düsseldorf. Fortunately—otherwise none of us could afford to live here. After all, Ruhrort has its Leinpfad promenade and Mühlenweide with views of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable; its unique “island location” between the Rhine, the Ruhr and the canal; its impressive bridge towers; numerous historic buildings; the Haniel Campus; and, of course, its proximity to Oberhausen, Duisburg city centre, the Lower Rhine region—and yes, Düsseldorf too.

Of course, a few more interesting shops and businesses would be welcome. Of course, some owners could take better care of their properties, and naturally there are more attractive and less attractive corners here too. But there are many committed people with fantastic ideas who are making things happen. And if you want to get involved, you will quickly become part of the community.

Anyone willing to embrace it will find a wonderful home in Ruhrort.
