House for sale 4+1 • 76 m² without real estateOberlinder Str. 102, , Thuringia

The property is located in a quiet yet conveniently accessible location. The single-story residential house is directly attached to a massive two-story barn with a gabled roof. The annex, which formerly belonged to the neighboring factory grounds, was gutted in the 1950s and converted into a residential building. Since 1991, extensive renovation work has been carried out (windows, heating, electrical system, renewal of the water connection, fitted kitchen, roof renovation). The improvement of the residential quality (including garden maintenance) was carried out continuously until 2012. After that, the property was occupied by a single person, and over time, several renovation needs arose. The bathroom/toilet and the entrance hall show signs of moisture damage and require extensive renovation. In the medium term, the existing sliding doors would need to be replaced. The exterior plaster also shows damage.

The advantages of this property include a quiet residential location that is not directly adjacent to the street, barrier-reduced access, and the abundant additional usable space in the barn as well as in a 17-square-meter tool shed in the garden. In addition, there are extensive opportunities to make use of the existing building fabric to invest in individual renovations. For instance, the four rooms are not separated by load-bearing walls, there is a decommissioned chimney that could be used for a fireplace, and with relatively little effort, publicly subsidized investments can be made to achieve accessibility. The barn’s structure could also be used to expand the living area. For the renewal of the heating system, solar panels on the roof could be utilized. Finally, the garden, which has received little care in recent years, offers many design possibilities. Overall, the property is an excellent resource for people who adhere to the principle: making something old into something new.

The property is situated in a loosely built-up area in the southern part of the town of Sonneberg. To the southeast is a former factory site, which is currently used only marginally for commercial purposes. To the southwest, there is also a commercial plot with a rarely frequented warehouse; currently, over three-meter-tall conifers block the view to it. To the northwest, in a border area, is the neighboring residential plot. The road connections to the districts of Oberlind and Unterlind are relatively little trafficked. About 150 meters away there is a bus stop that provides access to the town center. Shopping opportunities are available within 700 meters (supermarket) as well as in the center of the Oberlind district, where there is a butcher and a bakery (800 meters). In an area of less than one kilometer, schools and day-care centers are also accessible. Approximately 2.5 kilometers away there is a shopping center including a hardware store.

It was deliberately decided not to completely clear the residential plot. This means that, in theory, people who bring nothing but their personal belongings would immediately have full access to all the equipment (furniture, lamps, carpets, household appliances). The fitted kitchen is equipped with everything necessary – significantly more than would usually be the case in a spacious vacation apartment. There are fully functioning appliances such as a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washing machine, and dryer. Radios, televisions, etc. are also available. In addition, all the necessary garden tools (lawn mower, hedge trimmers, string trimmer, motorized scythe, wheelbarrow, and much more) are provided. One can decide, according to one’s own taste, what should be kept, replaced, or sold in the medium term.
