House for sale 7+1 • 273 m² without real estate, Lower Saxony

This exceptional single-family house is located in a quiet residential area and combines modern design with the highest standards of energy efficiency and living comfort. It has a total gross floor area of 336 m² and was completed at the end of 2009 on a corner plot of 655 m² in Einbeck’s Nordstadt. On foot, you can reach the city center in less than 15 minutes. Schools, sports facilities, shops, and public institutions are also within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport (stops about 300 meters away). The unique building design and the well-thought-out layout make this property one-of-a-kind. In collaboration with an architect and a structural engineer, the owners have brought a dream to life here while still paying attention to functionality and the use of high-quality materials. Thus, all interior walls of the house have been plastered, or in the upper floor, skim-coated and painted. The flooring in the wet areas consists of tiles, while all other rooms feature high-quality parquet and laminate. The basement rooms have a full story height of 2.44 m, making these rooms fully livable. The basement itself has been cast with waterproof (WU) concrete and formed as a “white tub” (weiße Wanne). It is insulated with 10 cm thick Styrodur panels. As a result, all basement rooms enjoy a consistent, pleasant room climate throughout the year. In the basement there is a bathroom with a WC, shower cabin, and bathtub, as well as three additional rooms with floor areas ranging from 19 to 30 m², a laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, and the boiler room. All rooms—except for the boiler room—have at least one window and thus natural daylight.

Through the entrance door, you enter a small vestibule on the north side of the house, from which you can turn right into a guest WC. Straight ahead leads you into the approximately 70 m² large living/dining area with an open kitchen and a water-fed fireplace stove. Behind the kitchen is a storage room with a side door to the outdoors. From here, you can access the open wood shed attached to the west side of the building, which leads to the second driveway of the property. This allows for the shortest possible way to bring in groceries. The living area impresses not only with its size but also with a ceiling height of over 5 m and a ceiling recess above the dining area that offers a view of the gallery on the upper floor. Another highlight is the wooden ceiling in the living room with both direct and indirect lighting. From the dining area, you can also reach the bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and an adjoining bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, WC, and bathtub. Thus, all the necessary areas for daily life are accessible on one level—a key priority during the planning, which has been well executed.

Via the open staircase, you reach the “living basement” through a cast, high-quality granite-topped staircase, as well as the upper floor via a beech wood staircase. From the upper landing of the wooden staircase, one can look through the open design into the complete living area and partially into the open kitchen on the ground floor. The structure of the house is designed in such a way that the ceiling recess could be easily closed, thereby expanding the living space by more than 10%—to a total of approximately 60 m². The floor slabs are pre-fabricated. On the upper floor, besides the open gallery, there is another room with a lowered wooden ceiling over the staircase. Through a wooden staircase in this room, you can access an additional 6 m² of living space—for example, for a loft bed. Behind this room, there is another bathroom with a WC and bathtub. In the knee wall on the west side, useful storage space has been created.

Einbeck, with 32,000 residents, is the most populous city in the Northeim district in southern Lower Saxony. About 15,000 people live in the historic old town, while the remaining residents are spread over the 46 districts. The nearest major cities are Göttingen to the south (approximately 30 km) and Hildesheim to the north (approximately 35 km). Einbeck is excellently situated on Federal Road 3, and the nearest highway, BAB7, is only 13 km away. Einbeck has a train station and is connected by the routes Hannover-Göttingen-Seesen-Braunschweig-Kreiensen-Altenbeken. It boasts a good infrastructure, and with its economic strength and high quality of life, Einbeck is an ideal location for both families and entrepreneurs.

All the windows in the house are equipped with triple glazing. On the ground floor, all windows have external blinds. Furthermore, all rooms on the ground floor—with the exception of the guest WC and storage room—are equipped with underfloor heating. The remaining rooms are heated by wall-mounted radiators. A MHG air-source heat pump with 11 kW capacity serves as the heat generator, supplemented by a masonry, water-fed baseboard stove. This stove can be heated with firewood logs up to 45 cm in length and is additionally equipped with a secondary chimney draft. The stove features an electronic burn control and an automatic regulation system. Its total output is 18 kW, with 9 kW directly released into the room and 9 kW passed through a water jacket into the 1,000-liter buffer storage located in the basement. Additionally, a potable water tank with a capacity of 240 liters is installed in the basement. Inside the house, hot water distribution is arranged via a circulating system, meaning that hot water is available at all the house’s mixer taps within seconds. All electrical wiring and the cables for the in-house LAN network are exclusively installed in conduits or cable ducts. This makes any future modifications or the installation of additional lines simple and straightforward. The network could also be used to control the building technology. The subsequent installation of a photovoltaic system or solar thermal panels on the roof would be very easy due to the use of the existing channels.

The lovingly designed garden, with a well-defined lawn area, faces south. It can be accessed either from the living area via an approximately 35 m² hardwood terrace made of hard wood or through the basement entrance on the south side of the house. In summer, the terrace is hardly visible from the pathway that runs entirely along the east side of the property. Also, on the east side of the building, a carport with a lockable bicycle shed adjoins the house. In addition, there is another parking space. The driveway, parking spaces, and storage sheds are paved. In the southern part of the garden, which has a slight slope, an outdoor seating area was created in 2020. Here, you can enjoy the evening sun. On the west side of the building, you can reach through the garden an approximately 20 m² tool shed, which was built in 2024. There is ample space for garden tools in the shed, and it also houses a house waterworks. A water line has been installed extending to the terrace on the south side. The rainwater retention tank was chosen to be larger than required during construction and thus provides more than 1,500 liters of rainwater for garden irrigation. All gutters are made of copper. The property only borders a neighboring plot to the west; to the east and south, there are no immediate neighboring properties. Since the public road is located at the northern property boundary, there is no snow clearance obligation for the sidewalks in winter. The garden is designed with great care and is intended to be as low-maintenance as possible. The planted beds are secured against excessive weed growth either with bark mulch or, in other parts, with permeable lava stones. Great emphasis has been placed on bee- and insect-friendliness for most of the planting. Directly at the natural stone staircase from the terrace to the garden, there is a small pond with a waterfall.

The following fixtures can be taken over by agreement and are not included in the purchase price: built-in kitchen with an induction cooktop (2024), a self-cleaning oven (2024), dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, ceramic washbasin, and an exhaust hood, as well as various bespoke pleated blinds, shutters, lighting, and bathroom furniture.
