House for sale 3+1 • 74 m² without real estate, Hesse

Welcome to your new home in the best semi-hilltop location of Idstein, the pearl of the Taunus! Your house—thoroughly restored from a sustainability perspective—is part of a diverse row of historic buildings. Inside, however, you’ll find an open-plan design with bright, generously proportioned rooms – modernity combined with lovingly restored old elements.

You park right in front of the house on your own paved parking space. Ascend the three marble steps and enter the ground floor: a hallway with a recessed cloakroom, a bathroom featuring a level glass shower and a wall-mounted WC. Through a glass door you enter the kitchen-living area with a compact kitchenette and plenty of space for cozy seating. The flooring here, as throughout the house, consists of the original wooden planks, painstakingly restored and treated with a bio-wax stain. The walls are finished throughout with a textured, rolled plaster in a wash effect and painted white. Double-glazed PVC windows and doors, installed in 2011, are found throughout the house, along with white privacy roller shutters and, on the upper floor and in the attic, additional external sun protection roller shutters.

Take the original wooden staircase from the building’s era upstairs and you will find yourself in the light-filled living room that occupies the entire floor. It exudes old-building charm with exposed ceiling beams and an impressive ceiling height of 2.60 meters. Looking forward, you can see the traffic-calmed, tree-lined street and a neighborhood characterized equally by both old and new buildings.

Continuing up the stairs leads you to the attic where the bedroom is located, including a washbasin and WC area. The room remains open right up to the insulated roof, which still features the original “Biberschwanz” (beaver tail) clay roof tiles. There is a roof window, a ceiling fan, and a zinc-clad balcony dormer offering a fantastic distant view into the Taunus.

Back on the ground floor, the patio door from the kitchen-living area descends three steps into the garden. The paved terrace spans the entire width of the house and is covered with safety glass. A privacy screen made of larch wood with a planting stone wall on one side, as well as willow lattice fence elements along the paved path leading to the garden house, provide privacy. The low-maintenance garden features a quaint, wood-bordered lily pond with a circulation pump, which also functions as a rainwater cistern.

The basalt-paved seating area in front of the garden house invites you to enjoy the afternoon sun. The large, bright, winter-hardy garden house encloses the property at the back and has its own access to the rear pathway. It can serve as a conservatory, retreat, guest room, youth room, fitness studio, party room, or workshop – entirely adaptable to your wishes and needs. It is heated by two infrared panels on the ceiling.

Access to the basement is available from the kitchen-living area via a concrete staircase with carpeted steps. On the wall, additional storage is provided for outerwear and accessories, as well as the house connections. The front section serves as a utility room with plenty of space for kitchen appliances and supplies, the middle section offers further storage. Behind the glass door is a bathroom with a corner bathtub, washbasin, towel radiator, and space for a washing machine. This area also houses the heating system and hot water supply (Viessmann Vitola 111 from 2005 with a gas burner from 2011; radiators were replaced in 2011 except on the ground floor), with the energy certificate currently in preparation. Heating and other ancillary costs are very moderate. The electrical system was largely overhauled in 2011. A fiber optic connection has been applied for.

Idstein boasts a beautiful timber-framed old town with medieval flair and serves as the backdrop for markets and events, such as the “Sound of Idstein” during the summer. Idstein is a university town that offers all the conveniences of a medium-sized center and a varied gastronomy scene. Your new residence is situated close to the town center in a traffic-calmed cul-de-sac. Here you are right in the midst of it all yet still secluded: In just a few minutes, you can walk to the town center, or head into the fields and woods for walks or bike rides. All school levels, kindergartens, sports facilities, and medical practices are within walking distance. The Autobahn A3 (Frankfurt – Cologne) or the train station (Frankfurt – Limburg) are only a few minutes by car, as are the Tournesol indoor pool, the hospital, and various supermarkets. Frankfurt am Main, the airport, Mainz, Wiesbaden, and Limburg are quickly accessible.
