House for sale • 170 m² without real estate, Baden-Württemberg

The property was gently renovated, and many beautiful details from the 1960s remain in their original condition. The house has two full floors and a completely converted attic. This means that cabinets of any size can be placed on two floors. A 27‑square‑meter accessory apartment with a separate entrance is available. The accessory apartment comes with a separate basement that is accessed through an exterior door.

The staircase features a stone flight running from the basement up to the attic, with light windows fitted with glass blocks that let in natural light. The staircase still has the original terrazzo stone tiles and the original handrail. Terrazzo stone tiles are again very much in demand in interior design. In both the living room and the dining room, a parquet floor laid in a sun pattern remains completely intact and very well preserved.

A very beautiful large window in the living room offers a unique and priceless view into the ecological garden, where birds and squirrels frolic. There is also an old apple tree that produces delicious apples in the autumn. Three tall, old conifer trees provide shade in the summer and make the terrace an enjoyable place to be during the heat. The terrace features a remarkably well-preserved red sandstone pavement, reminiscent of those laid in the grounds of castles. Blackberry bushes, roses, and other flowering plants grow on the terrace, attracting bees, bumblebees, and other “flying objects.” Next to the terrace stands an old lilac bush.

The accessory apartment, measuring 27 sqm, is newly and modernly renovated. It has its own separate, lockable basement. The accessory apartment can be easily rented out and help contribute to the necessary repayments. The individual garage is equipped with an electric gate opener, and an additional car can be parked in front of the garage. The front garden was laid out ecologically – in the summer, the lavender emits an enchanting scent and attracts many bees and bumblebees.

For ecological and fire safety reasons, a full styrofoam adhesive insulation was not applied to the house. The gas heating can still be used for a long time, as a Buderus boiler was installed only in 2015. Of course, the gas heating could also be replaced by a heat pump – although this does not need to be done at the moment. A second chimney was partially dismantled by the previous owner—from the roof down to the attic. This can easily be rebuilt if desired, so that an additional ecological stove could then be installed for the remainder of the property.

The house was renovated gently and with ecological considerations in mind. The garden was also transformed with ecological principles in mind – but everything is always evolving when it comes to a garden.

The building envelope has not yet been reached; the house can still be extended to the south. Therefore, the ground floor, the upper floor, and the attic could become even larger.

Böblingen, a city that offers everything = work + leisure + schools + churches + recreational activities

– Location is everything –

The property is located in the lower Tannenberg—a location where you normally can’t be bought out. All schools (elementary, secondary, high school) are within a 10- to 15‑minute walk. A bus stop is a 5‑minute walk away. The kindergarten is within a 10‑minute walk. The Waldorf kindergarten and Waldorf school are about 2 km away. The cycle highway to Stuttgart is approximately 2 km away. Additionally, the Böblingen city forest, which is about 2 km away, invites for pleasant strolls. The nearby Ganssee and the small wood behind it are perfect for a morning or evening jog. Böblingen’s city center, with its lovely shops, is a 30‑minute walk away. Doctors are also available nearby. On the highway you are there in about 10 minutes. The airport can be reached by car in 30 minutes, and Stuttgart’s city center is about a 20‑minute drive away.

The roof was renewed in 2010, according to the previous owner. The windows were completely replaced in 2010, again according to the previous owner. The gas heating was installed in spring 2015. In the accessory apartment, gas heating along with radiators was installed in winter 2024. An internal stove with a Buderus oven was installed in 2015 for heating with wood and other fuels; this stove, using a flap system, heats 75% of the house so that the gas heating only needs to be used sparingly. New electrical wiring and a fuse box were installed throughout the house in 2014, except in the basement. A new entrance door was installed in 2018 by the company Ruku. The ground floor glass doors were fitted in 2021 by a carpenter, and on the upper floor, standard white wooden room doors were installed in 2022 by a carpenter. A white fitted kitchen was installed in December 2014, and the kitchen floor was tiled in white in 2014. In the living room and dining room the parquet floor with its sun pattern remains. On the first floor, laminate flooring was laid in 2014. New white, foam-filled metal roller shutters were installed in 2022, along with a new white awning on the terrace. The accessory apartment received a fitted kitchen in November 2024, and its bathroom was renovated in October 2024.

After purchase, the house was continuously gently renovated and refreshed, while preserving its original character.

WHY are we selling such a beautiful property?

You are probably asking yourself that question—and rightly so. We are very reluctant to part with our beautiful house, which is located in such a prime area. Moreover, we had the house renovated with a lot of passion and did much of the work ourselves. I am especially attached to my garden, and it is very hard for me to part with it.

BUT for health reasons, we are moving closer to our child. A distance of 720 km is not suitable for afternoon coffee visits, so with heavy hearts, we are letting go of our house.
