House for sale 7+1 • 214 m² without real estateDagobertstr 4, , Rhineland-Palatinate

Below is the translation of the text enclosed by the tag:

The single-family house, built around 1930, is located in the picturesque town centre of Frankweiler and comprises two floors, with slight roof slopes on the upper floor. The ceiling height on the ground floor is a generous 2.60 m and 2.50 m on the upper floor, which corresponds to modern standards. The overall structure of the house can be described as very solid and in no way hinders a comprehensive renovation.

Some original wooden plank floors remain, which could be refurbished with comparatively little effort. In some rooms, the floor coverings have already been removed right down to the screed. The windows are high-quality aluminum with insulating glazing from the 1980s. The frames and sashes are all in very good condition, although it would certainly be energetically sensible to at least replace the window panes—the cost for this, however, is modest. The roof is watertight, and the ceiling of the top floor has already been insulated, so no costs in that area are expected in the medium term.

All of the installations (electricity, water, and heating) as well as the interior plaster need to be renewed, as these systems are outdated and the house has also been vacant for several years. Therefore, some damage cannot be ruled out.

The entire property consists of a front house and an adjoining former barn. The front house offers a living area of around 130 m². For the former barn, a building pre-approval application has been positively received. An additional 84 m² of living space can be developed there, resulting in a total potential living area of 214 m². The layout of the rooms is completely flexible. The available plans represent a proposal from the architect who accompanied the pre-approval application. These suggestions can either be adopted or modified. In addition, there is an accessible attic with a width of about 4 meters and a central height of approximately 2.10 meters.

At the rear of the house is a slightly sloping square garden of about 150 m², from which one can gaze toward the Palatinate Forest and watch the sunset in the evening. The house is located on a quiet side street in Frankweiler, ideal for families and those seeking tranquility. From the front house, you can enjoy the view over the rooftops of Frankweiler toward the Rhine Plain, and from the former barn, you have a direct view of the Palatinate Forest—a daily pleasure!

Frankweiler and its surroundings offer a multitude of recreational activities and relaxation opportunities. The gentle hills of the Palatinate Forest and the surrounding vineyards invite you to extended hikes, bike rides, and leisurely walks. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Trifels Castle, a regional landmark, as well as other attractions such as the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve and the idyllic Wild and Hiking Park Southern Wine Road in Silz.

The region is also known for its numerous wine festivals and its typically Palatinate hospitality. In the neighboring wine villages, events regularly take place that offer insights into the local wine culture and create a convivial atmosphere. Families will find attractive excursion destinations and playgrounds, while sports enthusiasts can take advantage of climbing opportunities, riding stables, and marked mountain bike trails.

Frankweiler is conveniently located and easily accessible. In 5 minutes you are on the federal road B10, in 10 minutes you reach the A65 as well as Landau or Annweiler am Trifels, and Karlsruhe and Mannheim can be reached in about 45 minutes.

For the renovation and expansion of the former barn, there is the particularly attractive possibility of tax incentives based on the local renovation regulation due to its location in the town centre. The municipality aims to reduce vacancy in the town centre and therefore offers attractive incentives for renovations.

This is a sale without a broker – which means you save over €13,000 in broker fees. Specifically, 90% of all renovation costs can be depreciated over 10 years for tax purposes, resulting in an annual tax refund of up to 42% on those costs. Whether you plan to live in the property yourself or rent it out is irrelevant.

Additionally, there is a so-called village renewal program. Under this program, external renovations (windows, roof, facade) of old buildings are subsidized up to 35%, capped at €30,000. Finally, you can also take advantage of KfW and BAFA funding for energy-efficient renovations. This funding offers the possibility of receiving grants of up to 70% for individual measures as well as subsidized loans.

In fact, two out of the three different funding options can be combined, so that when all subsidies are optimally exploited, you could receive over 55% of your total renovation costs covered. I would be happy to put you in touch with the local town planner responsible for Frankweiler.

Regarding the energy performance certificate: due to the period of vacancy, it is a demand-based certificate. It assumes energy demand values typical for the year of construction (1930) and does not take into account any renovations that have already been carried out, such as the replacement of the windows (1980) or the insulation of the top floor ceiling (2022). As a result, the energy demand is always a "worst-case" estimate and generally has little relation to the actual energy consumption.

This is a sale without a broker – meaning you also save over €13,000 in additional costs.
