House for sale 5+1 • 148 m² without real estate, Brandenburg

Below is the English translation of the text marked by the tag:

Directly from the owner’s family, a fully basemented house built in solid construction is being offered. It has so far been used by one family.

The plot measures 737 m². The living area on both floors totals 148 m².

The also solid basement area, with a ceiling height of 2.40 m, covers 78.17 m²; overall, excluding the outdoor area, the house provides 225 m² of living and usable space.

You enter the house via three steps (the owners temporarily waived the possibility of adding a wheelchair ramp because the house and property could be accessed barrier-free via the terrace).

On the ground floor there is:

– the hallway (8.88 m²; from here also an internal access to the basement level),

– the spacious living room with fireplace (26.01 m²),

– the large living kitchen with a dining area in the bay window (20.76 m²),

– a recently modernized, barrier-free shower room,

– a room (12.80 m²) that is alternately used as a study or bedroom,

– the boiler room (1.87 m²) equipped with a gas boiler, condensing technology (cf. § 72 of the Building Energy Act), and a water storage unit.

From the hallway, you reach the upper floor via a solid wood staircase. There, directly in the landing, there is a hatch with a folding ladder to the vaulted ceiling.

On the upper floor there are:

– a bathroom with bath and shower (14.53 m²),

– a living/sleeping/children’s/working room (22.68 m²) with access to a balcony (pre-installed lines are available for a potential kitchen extension),

– a living/sleeping/children’s/working room (18.86 m²) with access to a balcony,

– a living/sleeping/children’s/working/guest room (12.53 m²).

The vaulted ceiling above the upper floor is easily accessible due to its headroom and has served as storage space for suitcases, Christmas market or Easter decorations, etc. Here you will also find the distribution box of the satellite system for television and radio signals. The upper floor was additionally insulated from this level.

The basement/cellar rooms are accessible not only via the internal staircase but also directly through a designed external entrance. Some of the basement rooms were temporarily used as a granny flat.

In the basement (everywhere with a height of 2.40 m) you will find:

– a hallway (13.47 m²) with a small skylight window; beneath the internal staircase is also a small wine storage room,

– a large room (35.80 m²) that receives daylight, equipped with heating, a fireplace, and a kitchen area, and which was temporarily used—with the small shower room—as a granny flat,

– the heated house connection room (6.13 m²), in which a small, built-back shower area including a WC and washbasin in a separate compartment was installed,

– the workshop (13.77 m²), which has so far not been heated; here you will also find a pump station and the distribution for one of the two rainwater cisterns (each 5 cubic meters) in the outdoor area,

– a utility room (9 m²) which was mainly used for the freezer, food storage, dishes, juice storage, and also winter fruit storage.

By installing a drywall partition and a door in the ground floor hallway, the upper and lower floors can be separated into two individual living units. The granny flat is thus available, and there is even additional living and usable space in the basement.

Heating: The main floors have underfloor heating. The currently installed condensing gas boiler has been regularly maintained, with actuators replaced. In the future, converting the fireplace insert (either in the living room or basement) to a water-based installation in combination with the existing gas heating might be an option (given the forested area). A heat pump could be installed directly on the outer wall of the current boiler room. There is no necessity or obligation to change the heating system during maintenance and repairs! (Condensing boiler from 1995)

A particular highlight is the Milasee, which is reachable only on foot or by bicycle and is used almost exclusively by local residents as a lake—a true gem in the Brandenburg nature reserve. The grandchildren learned to swim in its gently sloping waters.

Storkow is located southeast of Berlin. It is known for its proximity to the Teslawerk in Grünheide (a 35-minute drive under free-flowing conditions) and, even more traditionally, for the Bad Saarow lake area with its golf resort. The house is located in the Kehrigk district of a settlement developed in the mid-'90s, immediately adjacent to the old village center.

In the village there is a small general store, a guesthouse, and a restaurant. There is a volunteer fire brigade and a village club. The neighborhood has grown and is varied, with people knowing, appreciating, and even helping each other. In a minute, you are already in the forest, at the Milasee, hunting for mushrooms or taking a walk with the dog.

For everyday shopping, you would drive over to Storkow, where there are several retailers (Aldi, Norma, Lidl, Rossmann, Getränke Hoffmann and others), as well as pharmacies, electronics and medical supply stores, drugstores, flower shops, bakeries, and butchers.

The village children are all transported directly by the local school bus to school, including secondary schools.

Massive new construction in 1995 was carried out using reinforced concrete with additional perimeter insulation even beneath the basement. The suspended ceiling as well as the ceiling above the upper floor are solid and additionally insulated. In the house connection room, utilities such as gas, water, electricity, telephone, cable (possibly), and DSL are provided. Wastewater is discharged into the sewage network.

The internet is distributed throughout the house via Wi‑Fi. In all living areas and the kitchen there is a satellite outlet.

The owners had the house built by a company and, with the help of various professionals, implemented many personal contributions on an ongoing basis. The property was exclusively owner-occupied by residents of a pet‑free household.

All areas on the ground floor and upper floor are equipped with underfloor heating.

The floors are fitted with renewed laminate, while the bathrooms, kitchen, and basement are tiled.

In the basement, the large room and the shower room of the granny flat are equipped with radiators; however, usually the fireplace provided sufficient heating there.

The house and water are heated by a reliable gas boiler (model Viessmann).

In front of the kitchen and living room is a large terrace, where the possibility of building a conservatory was prepared, although it eventually proved unnecessary in practical use. In front of the terrace, there is a small pond with goldfish.

The garden has been well maintained; it features various fruit bushes and fruit trees, as well as flower beds that in recent years have partly been converted into lawn areas due to aging.

At the rear of the property, there is a 5‑cubic‑meter rainwater cistern buried in the ground, which, via the pump system in the basement, supplies the rear garden.

The rainwater from the front section of the house is collected in a second 5‑cubic‑meter cistern with a separate pump; this cistern is also buried out of sight. Additional outdoor water taps are available.

In recent years, ongoing repair and renewal work has been carried out. The entire property is completely fenced. At the front, there is a locally forged metal fence with an electric gate for cars. The vehicles can be sheltered in the double carport, which also includes a small shed for storing tools, lawn mowers, etc.

Kehrigk is located by the forest, ensuring a good supply of firewood for the fireplace. The energy certificate reflects year‑round use by a retired couple with some additional usage of the granny flat.

Even during the in‑house architectural planning before construction, the possibility of dividing the house into two separate living units was taken into account. As you can see from the floor plans, by installing an additional drywall partition with a door in the hallway—and using the connections already available for an extra kitchen installation—this can be quickly and easily implemented on the upper floor as well. In practice, however, the seller did not pursue this idea because the basement already fulfilled that usage requirement.

With the separate basement entrance including its own bathroom, there are extensive possibilities in the basement to implement commercial uses or larger home office setups, thereby combining living and working areas while still keeping them separate.
