The two-family, low-energy house offered here from December 1998 impresses with its sustainable construction and versatile usability. The variable floor plan can always be adapted to one’s own ideas and needs thanks to the stud construction of the interior walls. The number of rooms can easily be increased by subdividing the generously sized spaces into 10 to 11 rooms.

In addition to its original use as a two-family house, there is the possibility – as is currently the case through a subsequently installed interior staircase – to use the entire house as a single-family home. This staircase can be quickly removed with just a few simple steps, and the ceiling can be easily restored, thus reestablishing the original two-family layout.

You will also love the lovingly landscaped garden with a large pond and the gentle sound of the waterfall, promising many convivial hours in your own paradise. Especially in the evening, you will be able to enjoy the cozy atmosphere—without the nuisance of mosquitoes—while savoring a glass of wine or beer.

General Information

The basement is built of solid masonry and finished on the exterior with a white refined plaster.

The ground floor and top floor are constructed and finished in an ecological timber structure.

No further painting is required unless one chooses to remove the natural patina; then a primer and protective coating become necessary again.

Allow yourself to be convinced by the unique spatial atmosphere created by the natural timber construction and form your own opinion of this versatile property.

The high-quality SCHÜCO plastic windows installed on the ground and top floors feature divided panes, continuous security locking, and ISO safety glass consisting of 2 x 6mm laminated safety glass for burglary resistance. The basement windows and doors do not have divided panes. Two cisterns embedded in the garden, each with a capacity of 6,500 liters, serve the irrigation of the garden and pond.

Presumably the best and most beautiful location in Kassel

Situated in Harleshausen, less than a 10-minute walk from the Habichtswald via a footpath at the end of a cul-de-sac, the well-established and well-maintained property offers tranquility and relaxation with many possibilities, as well as a splendid view over all of Kassel stretching to the Meißner.

Ground Floor:

You enter the property via an open, spacious entrance hall, from which you can access all the rooms on the ground floor. The light-filled, open living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and direct access to the terraces and balcony will captivate you. The south terrace, renewed in 2018 and offering over 70 m², the west terrace by the large pond completely redesigned in 2022 with over 30 m², and the east balcony, renewed in 2021 along the entire 14 m length at a width of 1.7 m and affording a magnificent view up to the Meißner, all invite you to relax and linger. All open areas can be shaded with large awnings. In the well-equipped kitchen, with access to the large balcony, you will joyfully prepare meals for your loved ones while enjoying the view over Kassel. The direct access to the dining room ensures a short corridor. The spacious bedroom also features a large, floor-to-ceiling sliding door with access to the east balcony, as well as a direct connecting door to the generously redesigned bathroom in 2022.

A naturally lit guest WC is located next to the open staircase.

The ground floor and basement are heated by a gas condensing boiler from 1998, which was completely updated with new electrical and electronic components in 2015; the control system was renewed again in 2024.

On the ground floor, underfloor heating provides pleasant radiant warmth, as does the free-standing wood and coal stove.

Top Floor:

In the top floor apartment—accessible via a separate external staircase, which is currently also reachable by the subsequently installed interior staircase—you will find a large, bright living area.

Thanks to the many windows in the dormers, as well as the two floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to the 25 m² large covered south loggia, more than enough light and sunshine fill the space.

The upper floor comprises a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, all generously filled with light from the large windows, and it is heated by a floor gas condensing boiler.

Basement:

The basement, with a comfortable ceiling height of 2.50 m, is accessible via an interior staircase as well as several exterior doors. The potential accessory apartment consists of a bright, large living room, a bedroom with a large window and an exterior door to the garden, a fitted kitchen, and a spacious bathroom, connected by a small hallway. Naturally, you can also rent out the accessory apartment with approximately 55 m² and an additional terrace of about 18 m². This unit is economically separated from the other units.

Within the basement there are two large cellar rooms with ground-level exits to the garden, as well as a bathroom with shower, WC, urinal, and washbasin, a boiler room, and a utility room.
