Flat to rent 2+kk • 74 m² without real estateMidgardweg 8 Bochum-Harpen Harpen Nordrhein-Westfalen 44805

The apartment is located in a well-maintained and quiet eight-family residential building. The building has been continuously modernized and maintained. The property features an insulated thermal facade on all four exterior sides (detached house) and an energy-saving modern gas condensing heating system. In addition, as of October 2024, all the apartments in the building have been fitted with new energy-saving, triple-glazed plastic windows with insulating glazing (triple glazing) to further reduce energy costs. Special RC2 burglar-proof measures have also been installed in the windows on the ground floor and on the first floor. The staircase windows have now been replaced, and the entrance door of the building has been renewed in recent years.

In the basement of the building there are designated washing machine areas, so that the dryer/washing machine does not have to be installed inside the apartment. Also located here is the drying room for laundry as well as a separate large tenant cellar that belongs to the apartment. Hot water is provided via the gas central heating system, thus eliminating power-consuming devices like instantaneous water heaters for the bathroom. The consumed hot water is measured by a dedicated meter, so that each tenant only pays for what is used. The heating costs already include the hot water preparation expenses for the bathroom.

Harpen is a quiet, green, and popular district in Bochum.

Bochum, district – Harpen, near Bochum-Gerthe. The Ruhrpark shopping center is within a 15-minute walk. Behind Midgardweg street, the fields begin with the adjacent woodlands that invite you for a stroll. By car, you can reach the Bochum junction—with motorway connections A40 towards Dortmund and Essen, A43 towards Wuppertal/Herne/Recklinghausen, and A42—in about five minutes. Public transport connections are immediately available at the Ecksee/Midgardweg corner. The property is located on a quiet side street, and behind it are predominantly one- and two-family homes. The grounds are landscaped in a friendly, green manner, and the house is a detached building surrounded by lawns.

The apartment offered here is located on the first upper floor of the residential building at Midgardweg 8. It features a large living room (28 m²) that gives access to a wind-protected, spacious balcony which is seated in the sun from early morning until early afternoon (east-southeast orientation). From here, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the adjoining fields and the forest at Bockholt, which invites for long walks. The spacious bedroom (19 m²) is accessible from the entrance hall. The bathroom is tiled up to door height all around and features a built-in bathtub, a window, a toilet, and a washbasin—all in the sanitary color bahamabeige. The wall and floor tiles are also in bahamabeige. Some time ago, the following improvements were made in the apartment: the installation of real hardwood parquet floors in the living and bedroom areas in light oak, together with decorative oak moldings; the complete renewal of the electrical installation throughout the apartment, ensuring that there are now ample sockets in every room; as well as the replacement of the floor tiles in the entrance hall and the kitchen wall and floor tiles.

A new installation of a coarse rough-finished wallpaper (Erfurter exclusiv No. 79) with white binder-colored paint has also been applied. The spacious kitchen (over 15 m²) is directly accessible from the living area. Thanks to the many windows, the apartment is very bright with an excellent layout. All rooms—kitchen, living room, and bedroom—are very spacious, as the apartment is classified as a 2.5-room apartment. Prior to new occupancy, the apartment was freshly renovated by a painting company, and the parquet floors were sanded and resealed. As all the work has now been completed, the apartment is available for immediate occupancy.

Keeping a dog is not permitted, partly due to the real hardwood parquet floors installed throughout the apartment.

The apartment is not suitable for a shared flat (WG).

The additional costs have been calculated to include the sharply increased gas prices, so no further additional payments should be expected. Overpaid advance payments are refunded annually. As soon as there is a relaxation on the energy market, or if the tenant’s individual consumption is lower, these high advance payments will be adjusted to reflect the current conditions.

For single occupancy, the advance payments can be reduced, since water and sewage charges are billed according to the number of persons and rooms. Hot water for the bathroom is metered separately by a hot water meter in the bathroom, which tracks this consumption independently.
