House for sale 7+1 • 178 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

The two-story, solidly constructed house with a gabled roof, built on a corner plot, is located in a quiet suburban settlement on the outskirts of Bünde in the Holsen district. It adjoins cattle and horse pastures in an idyllic setting.

The ground floor and the basement date back to 1930. In the early ’80s, the upper floor and the gabled roof were added. At that time, the façade, windows, and electrical wiring were also renovated. The last extensive renovation took place in 2015 and included the heating system, water/sewage pipes, and the bathrooms. The living areas on both the ground floor and the upper floor were partly given a new, modern layout.

On the ground floor, there is an open, bright living/dining area with a kitchen arranged in a spacious L-shape. The three-meter-high ceilings and a bay window give the room an extraordinary sense of space and create a stylish living atmosphere with classic old-building charm. The amenities include a cozy pellet stove in the living/dining room and a spacious kitchen with a connection for a gas hob. The entire ground floor features dark vinyl flooring, while the kitchen area is adorned with Mediterranean marble. A terrace door leading from the kitchen to the dining area opens onto the sunny rooftop terrace. Additionally, there is a study room with an internet (LAN) connection on the ground floor. This room can also serve as a bedroom—for example, for a person in need of care—or as a children’s room. In the bright, daylight-filled bathrooms on both the ground floor and the upper floor, each is equipped with a shower that features a barrier-free, floor-level entry. The upper bathroom further includes a bathtub. The upper floor is fitted with vinyl and laminate flooring. The master bedroom on the upper floor has a south-facing balcony, which features a steel spiral staircase leading down into the garden. In the predominantly tiled basement, there are three large rooms that offer enough space for a washing machine, tools, storage, and more. In addition, there is another toilet with a washbasin, a shower, and another large washbasin. One of these large basement rooms houses the heating system.

The heating system consists of a gas condensing boiler with a buffer combination storage. Connected to the buffer storage are both the pellet stove with a water jacket and a solar tube collector system, which is optimally south-facing on the roof. Near the main water connection, there is a water softening system.

The sunny garden invites relaxation and play for children. The grounds are bordered by old trees and include a large garden house with a paved terrace. This spacious garden house, featuring a wooden bar, is ideal for gatherings with friends—for example, to watch football on the weekends. A satellite connection is, of course, available. The property offers weather-appropriate retreats, whether it is warm, cold, or rainy. The long driveway, oriented north toward the house, can accommodate up to three cars, trailers, etc. Adjacent to this driveway is a steel-sheet garage.
