House for sale • 368 m² without real estateKöln Bayenthal Nordrhein-Westfalen 50968

This charming multi-family house built in 1892 (listed) is located in the popular Cologne district of Bayenthal, a quiet yet central area that impresses with its village-like character and excellent connection to the city center. The spacious Gründerzeit architecture—with historical elements such as high ceilings, stucco decorations, and classic facade detailing—gives the house its unmistakable old-building charm and makes it an attractive investment for enthusiasts of historic properties.

The house features five residential units, some of which are currently rented. All lease agreements are open-ended, allowing for rent increases within the limits of the law. The building has been regularly maintained and is in well-kept condition.

A particular plus is the tranquil courtyard as well as five garages, which offer additional benefits for tenants or can serve as a separate source of income. There is no heritage protection in effect, which makes any future renovations or modernizations considerably easier.

Micro-location

The infrastructure in Bayenthal is excellent: daily shopping options, pharmacies, and cafés are within walking distance. The district also offers a variety of kindergartens, schools, and sports facilities, making Bayenthal a family-friendly area. Parks and recreational areas—especially the Rhine promenade—ensure a high quality of life and invite leisurely walks, sporting activities, and relaxation in nature. Medical care is also very good: St. Antonius Hospital is located in the immediate vicinity, and numerous general practitioners as well as specialists are based in the district.

Macro-location

Thanks to excellent transportation links, both the city center and the surrounding districts can be reached quickly and easily—ideal for commuters. The highways A4 and A555, along with the public transportation network, make Bayenthal well-connected. The region also boasts steadily growing development potential, making the location attractive for both living and investment.

The building comprises a total of five residential units, each equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom. The attic apartment impresses with visible timber beams, combining historical charm with a cozy atmosphere. In several apartments, ceilings have been lowered—partly with the original stucco, which can be uncovered if desired.

Heating is provided by energy-efficient pellet as well as wood/coal stoves, which are both cost-effective and independent of fossil fuels. Most windows are modern Thermopen models with double-insulated glass, ensuring good energy efficiency and sound insulation. The building also includes four separate basement rooms for additional storage. On the ground and upper floors, balconies overlook the quiet courtyard, which is directly accessible from the ground-floor apartment. Furthermore, the flat roof offers the potential for constructing a roof terrace (subject to building regulations).

The property consists of a total of five residential units, all of which are currently occupied. Three apartments are rented on an open-ended basis, while two are currently owner-occupied and will be vacated after the sale. This provides the opportunity to rent these two units anew at market rates. Additionally, no rent increases have been implemented in the existing leases over the past three years, offering further potential for income growth.

The property also includes five garages: one is currently used jointly, another is rented, and three are available for new leasing.

If you are seriously interested in purchasing, we would be happy to provide further documentation regarding the current rental amounts and existing lease agreements. Alternatively, partial or full owner-occupancy is also conceivable—for example, as a multigenerational solution or to combine living with renting.
