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

The property is situated in a quiet yet well-connected location. The single-story residential building is directly attached to a solid barn with two levels and a gabled roof. The annex, formerly part of the adjacent factory premises, was gutted in the 1950s and converted into a residential building. Starting in 1991, extensive renovation work was carried out (windows, heating, electrical system, renewal of the water connection, fitted kitchen, roof renewal). The improvement of the living quality (including garden maintenance) was carried out continuously until 2012. Afterwards, the property was occupied by a single person, and eventually, some renovation requirements arose. The bathroom/toilet and the hallway show signs of moisture damage and need extensive renovation. In the medium term, the existing sliding doors will have to be replaced. The exterior render also shows damage. The advantages of this property include a quiet residential location not immediately facing the street, barrier-free 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 possibilities to utilize the existing building structure by investing in individualized redesigns. For instance, the four rooms are not separated by load-bearing walls; there is a decommissioned chimney that can be used for a fireplace; and with comparatively little effort, publicly subsidized investments can be made to achieve barrier-free accessibility. The barn’s structure could also be used to expand the living area. Solar panels on the roof could be used for the renewal of the heating system. Finally, the garden, which has received little maintenance in recent years, offers many design possibilities. Overall, the property is an excellent resource for people who subscribe to the principle: out with the old, in with the new.

The property is located in an area with dispersed development in the southern part of the town of Sonneberg. To the southeast is a former factory site that is currently used only marginally for commercial purposes. To the southwest, there is also a commercial plot with a seldom-frequented warehouse; the currently more than three-meter-high conifers obstruct the view in that direction. To the northwest, in a bordering residential area, is the adjacent residential plot. The road connection to the districts of Oberlind and Unterlind experiences relatively little traffic. A bus stop providing access to the city center is located approximately 150 meters away. Shopping facilities are available at a distance of 700 meters (supermarket) as well as in the center of the Oberlind district with a butcher and a bakery (800 meters). Schools and daycare centers are also accessible within less than one kilometer. An enclosed shopping center including a hardware store is located about 2.5 kilometers away.

It was deliberately decided not to completely clear out the residential plot. This means that, in theory, people who bring nothing but their personal belongings have immediate access to all the equipment (furniture, lamps, carpets, household appliances). The fitted kitchen is equipped with everything necessary – much more than would typically be the case, for example, in a spacious holiday apartment. There are fully functional appliances such as a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washing machine, and dryer. Radios, televisions, etc. are also available. In addition, all necessary garden tools (lawn mower, hedge trimmers, string trimmer, motorized scythe, wheelbarrow, and much more) are provided. One can decide according to personal taste which items to continue using, replace, or sell in the medium term.
