House for sale 5+1 • 148 m² without real estate, Brandenburg

Directly from the owner’s family, a fully basemented house constructed in solid construction is offered. It has so far been used by one family.

The plot measures 737 m². The living area on both floors totals 148 m². The equally solid basement—with a finished ceiling height of 2.40 m—has a total area of 78.17 m², providing a combined living and usable area of 225 m² within the house (excluding the outdoor area).

The house is entered via three steps (the owners temporarily waived the possible installation of a wheelchair ramp since the house and property can be accessed barrier-free via the terrace).

On the ground floor there is:

• the entrance hall (8.88 m², which also provides internal access to the basement),

• a spacious living room with a fireplace (26.01 m²),

• a large country kitchen with a dining area in the bay window (20.76 m²),

• a recently modernized, barrier-free shower room,

• a room (12.80 m²) used interchangeably as an office or bedroom, and

• a heating room (1.87 m²) equipped with a gas heater featuring condensing technology (cf. § 72 Building Energy Act) and a water storage unit.

From the entrance hall, a solid wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. There, right at the landing in the hallway, is a hatch with a folding ladder leading to the pointed-arch attic area.

On the upper floor there are:

• a bathroom with both tub and shower (14.53 m²);

• a combined living, sleeping, children’s, and office room (22.68 m²) with access to the balcony (with preparatory lines in place for a potential kitchen installation);

• another living, sleeping, children’s, and office room (18.86 m²) with access to the balcony; and

• a bedroom, children’s, office, and guest room (12.53 m²).

The pointed-arch space above the upper floor has good headroom and was used as storage for suitcases, Christmas and Easter decorations, etc. Here you’ll also find the distribution unit for the satellite system for TV and radio signals. The upper floor was additionally insulated on this side.

The basement/cellar areas can be accessed not only by the internal staircase but also directly via a designed external entrance. Some of the basement rooms were at times used as a granny flat.

Within the basement (all areas with a height of 2.40 m) you will find:

• a hallway (13.47 m²) with a small light-well window (beneath the internal staircase is also a small wine cellar),

• a large, daylighted room (35.80 m²) equipped with heating, a fireplace, and a small kitchen area, which was at times used together with the small shower room as a granny flat,

• a heated utility room (6.13 m²) in which a small, retractable shower enclosure (including a WC and washbasin) was installed,

• the workshop (13.77 m²), which is presently unheated; here you will also find a pump station and the connection for one of the two outdoor rainwater cisterns (each with a capacity of 5 cubic meters), and

• a utility room (9 m²) primarily used for the freezer, food storage, dishes, juice storage, and even winter fruit storage.

By installing a partition wall with a door in the ground floor hall, the upper floor can be separated from the lower floor into two independent residential units. The granny flat exists there, and additional residential and usable areas are available in the cellar.

Heating: The living floors feature underfloor heating. The currently installed condensing gas heater has been regularly maintained with its actuator motors replaced. In the future, changing the fireplace (in the living room or basement) to a water-based model in combination with the existing gas heater could be a possibility (given the wooded surroundings). A heat pump could be installed directly on the external wall of the current heating room. There is no necessity or obligation to change the heating system during regular maintenance or repairs (the condensing boiler dates from 1995).

A real special feature is the Milasee—a lake reachable only on foot or by bicycle, used almost exclusively by locals. It is a true gem in the Brandenburg nature reserve; the grandchildren even learned to swim in its gently sloping waters.

Storkow is located southeast of Berlin. It is known for its proximity to the Tesla factory in Grünheide (a 35-minute drive under free-flowing traffic conditions) and traditionally for the Bad Saarow lake district and the nearby golf resort. The house is situated in the Kehrigk district, in a residential area developed in the mid-90s, immediately adjacent to the old village center.

Within the village there is a small shop, a guesthouse, and a restaurant. There is also a volunteer fire brigade and a village club. The community has grown, and although it changes from time to time, neighbors know, appreciate, and help each other. In a minute you are in the forest, off to Milasee, mushroom hunting, or on a walk with the dog.

For daily shopping, one travels to Storkow where multiple retailers can be found (Aldi, Norma, Lidl, Rossmann, Getränke Hoffmann and others, as well as pharmacies, electronics and medical supply stores, drugstores, flower shops, bakeries, and butchers).

All local children board the school bus from the village to attend the nearby primary and secondary schools.

The property is a solid new construction dating from 1995, built in reinforced concrete with additional perimeter insulation (also beneath the basement). The intermediate ceiling as well as the ceiling above the upper floor are built solidly and insulated further.

In the utility room, the connections for gas, water, electricity, telephone, cable (and maybe DSL) are provided. Wastewater is discharged into the sewage network.

Internet is distributed throughout the house via Wi‑Fi. Every living room and the kitchen feature a satellite socket.

The owners had the house built by a company and, with the help of various professional skills, also carried out many owner-performed works continuously. The property has been exclusively owner-occupied by a pet‑free household.

All areas on the ground floor and upper floor have underfloor heating. The floors are finished with renewed laminate, and the bathrooms, kitchen, and basement are tiled.

In the cellar, the large room and the bathroom of the granny flat are equipped with radiators, although the fireplace there usually provided sufficient heating. The house and the water are heated by a reliable gas heater (model Viessmann).

In front of the kitchen and living room there is a large terrace. Preparations were made here for the construction of a conservatory, which eventually proved unnecessary in practical use. In front of the terrace there is a small pond with goldfish.

The garden is well maintained with various fruit bushes and fruit trees, as well as flowerbeds which in recent years have, due to age, partly been converted into lawns.

At the rear of the property, a 5‑cubic‑meter rainwater cistern is buried, which—via the pump system in the cellar—supplies the rear garden. The rainwater from the front section of the house is collected in a second 5‑cubic‑meter cistern with a separate pump; this cistern is also buried out of sight. Additional external water taps are available.

In recent years, ongoing repair and renewal work has taken place. The entire property is completely fenced. At the front, a locally forged metal fence with an electric gate provides access for cars, which can be sheltered in the double carport. An integrated small shed in the carport is used for storing tools, the lawnmower, etc.

Kehrigk lies on the edge of the forest, so there has always been a good solution for obtaining firewood for the fireplace. The energy certificate shows that in the indicated years the house was used year‑round by a retired couple, with partial additional use of the granny flat.

Already in the family’s internal planning with architects before construction, the possibility of dividing the house into two residential units was taken into account. As you can see from the floor plans, by installing an additional partition wall in the entrance hall with a door and using the existing connections upstairs for another kitchen installation, this can be implemented quickly and easily on the upper floor. In practice, the sellers did not implement this idea because the basement/cellar already accommodated that potential use.

With the separate cellar entrance, including a separate bathroom, the basement offers extensive possibilities for commercial use or for creating larger home office spaces – combining living and working while keeping them distinct.

• Pet‑free household

• Regular heating maintenance with actuator motors replaced

• No outstanding repair backlog

• Age-related relocation, the house is available as a “ready to move in” property with a quick handover possible
