House for sale • 275 m² without real estate, Schleswig-Holstein

Welcome to Osterby – welcome to a house full of opportunities. This spacious, well-maintained multi-generational home from the era of the founders seamlessly blends historical charm with abundant room for creative living or usage concepts. Whether as a family residence, a venue for communal living, or a combination of living and working: here, possibilities unfold for people with ideas, ambition, and a desire for a high quality of life in the countryside – just a few minutes away from the Baltic Sea.

This charming multi-generational home, built in 1911, is set on a plot of approximately 1,080 m² in Osterby near Eckernförde. The property offers around 275 m² of living space, divided into two completely separate living units with individual entrances – ideal for families, multi-generational living, social projects, or rental purposes.

The ground floor apartment (about 138 m²) includes six well-proportioned rooms, two bathrooms (each equipped with both a bathtub and a shower), and a spacious living kitchen with direct access to the sunny southwest terrace. A separate laundry room adds further convenience. The ceiling height of approximately 2.80 m accentuates the old building’s charm and creates an airy, pleasant living atmosphere with a distinctive flair.

The upper floor apartment (approximately 137 m²) impresses with three extremely spacious rooms, a bright living kitchen, a modern shower room with a double sink, and a small workspace in the hallway area. The space-saving staircase leads to the attic, which offers an expandable area of about 105 m². An already approved plan for a separate staircase opens up further design possibilities, for example, for an additional apartment or a spacious atelier with views of the greenery.

The house is partially basemented, with access provided beneath the living kitchen. The building is heated by a Viessmann oil boiler (built in 1988), with the 4,000-liter tank also housed in the basement. The roof was completely renewed in 2015; however, no additional insulation was added at that time. Moreover, a modern external insulation was applied to significantly improve the energy standard.

The outdoor areas are neat and versatile: A generous driveway provides ample space for several vehicles, and a carport would also be conceivable. A separate garage in need of renovation offers further options – for example, as a workshop, a hobby room, or even as a small, independent apartment with the appropriate permits. The garden is lovingly landscaped, offering sunny seating areas, secluded retreats, space for raised beds, play equipment, or even poultry keeping – the possibilities are nearly endless.

Between 2009 and 2015, all windows were replaced with modern, double-glazed plastic windows. The overall condition of the house suggests a solid structure that can be further developed with a reasonable amount of effort. The historical fabric of the building is in good condition and has been modernized with a balanced sense of scale and an appreciation for the house’s history.

This property stands out with its unmistakable character, flexible usage possibilities, and thoughtful spatial layout. It is well suited both for people with practical skills and for visionary investors. Whether as a family idyll with multi-generational living, as a combination of living and working under one roof, or as a project for communal living – here individual housing dreams can be realized.

A true highlight is its proximity to the Baltic Sea: The fine sandy beach of Eckernförde is reachable in only about 10 minutes by car. It invites long walks, swimming, sports activities, or simply the pleasure of breathing in the fresh sea air – a maritime lifestyle right at the doorstep.

Osterby is located about 6 km west of Eckernförde in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district, nestled in the gentle hilly landscape of the Hüttener Berge Nature Park. The surroundings offer an appealing mix of rural idyll, nature-oriented quality of life, and excellent connectivity – both to the Baltic coast and the regional cities. This combination makes Osterby particularly attractive for families, nature lovers, those seeking tranquility, and commuters alike.

With around 1,100 inhabitants, the community boasts a lively village spirit and active club life. In addition to the volunteer fire brigade, a local DRK group, an equestrian centre, and the traditional Totengilde with its annual guild festival, it is especially the dedicated sports club that shapes community life. The community’s sports fields and the sports hall at the old school on Schulstraße provide a variety of opportunities for exercise, social interaction, and community spirit.

Well-equipped for daily life, the village offers two kindergartens and an EDEKA supermarket for everyday necessities. The primary school is located in neighboring Ascheffel, and secondary schools in Eckernförde and Rendsburg are easily accessible – partly also via well-organized school bus services.

The Baltic Sea town of Eckernförde, only about 10 minutes away by car, offers a wide range of leisure and supply options: a fine sandy beach, a vibrant harbor district, diverse shopping opportunities, medical practices, pharmacies, and a hospital. In addition, you can find a saltwater wave pool, a diving and surfing school, and a high ropes course with over 100 climbing elements – a truly special experience for families and adventurers.

Osterby belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran church community of Hütten. Its economic structure is characterized by commuters working in Eckernförde or the surrounding cities. While only a few craft businesses are located directly in the village, the surrounding area is defined by efficient agricultural enterprises, mostly situated outside the village core.

Bus lines 725 and 735 reliably connect Osterby with Eckernförde, Rendsburg, and other nearby municipalities. Kiel is reachable in approximately 30 minutes by car – or conveniently by train from Eckernförde.

This property is more than just a house – it is a place to arrive, put down roots, and create your own lifestyle. If you are seeking a special home with history, character, and potential, you will find here a rare opportunity. Allow yourself to be inspired by the location, the available space, and the possibilities that this house in Osterby offers. We look forward to personally introducing you to this exceptional property.

The house impresses with its successful combination of historical charm and modern elements. Two completely separate living units with individual entrances facilitate flexible usage possibilities – ideal for families, multi-generational living, or rental. The generous ceiling height on the ground floor, at approximately 2.80 m, gives the rooms an especially open feeling. Between 2009 and 2015, all windows were replaced by modern, double-glazed plastic windows.

The building is heated by a Viessmann oil boiler (built in 1988) with a 4,000-liter tank located in the basement. The house is partially basemented – access is provided beneath the living kitchen. In 2015, the roof was completely renewed, though without additional insulation or a particularly durable covering. Additionally, external insulation was applied to enhance the energy standard.

The southwest terrace and the well-kept garden invite relaxation, while the garage – in need of renovation – is ideally suited for later conversion into an atelier or a small apartment. The attic offers an expansion potential of approximately 105 m²; an approved plan for a separate staircase already exists.

Additional Information:

Some rooms in the house are fitted with stylish wooden floors that add extra warmth and homeliness to the building’s historical charm. This feature underscores the well-maintained condition and the successful blending of old-world flair with comfortable, modern living.
