Flat for sale 3+1 • 72 m² without real estateEssen Gerschede Nordrhein-Westfalen 45356

This lovingly modernized 3-room apartment is located on the first floor of a well-maintained multi-family house in a green, quiet area of Essen-Gerschede – right across from a small park. With its spacious layout, high-quality features, and light-filled atmosphere, it invites you to feel right at home.

A special highlight is the central hallway: Although it has no window of its own, it receives soft daylight from the adjoining rooms, creating an open, welcoming living ambiance.

The apartment comprises a spacious living room with access to the sunny south-facing loggia, a peaceful bedroom, a separate kitchen, a modernized bathroom with a window and a flush shower, a central hallway, and a practical storage room with white cabinet doors. The third room – currently used as a workspace – is equally suitable as a guest, children’s, or hobby room.

The elegant real hardwood parquet flooring in the living, sleeping, and working rooms as well as in the hallway and storage room creates a warm, stylish ambiance. The kitchen is designed in a modern style and is equipped with grey tiles. All windows – with the exception of those in the bathroom – feature elegant granite window sills and permanently installed insect screens for added comfort. The windows (communal property) were fitted with triple insulated glazing in 1996 – ideal for thermal and sound insulation.

The bathroom was stylishly modernized in 2023 – featuring new white sanitary fixtures, a flush shower, a washing machine connection, and lovingly integrated real wood details such as a window sill and a cosmetic shelf.

The modern electric heat storage system (AEG WSP 4011) was completely renewed in 2019 and strategically uses off-peak (night) power for heat storage. The integrated electronic control with a weekly timer, window opening detection, and adaptive temperature control allows for comfortable and energy-efficient operation. Safety features such as a temperature limiter and child safety lock underline the well-thought-out technical equipment – ideal for comfort-conscious and cost-oriented residents.

A real quality-of-life bonus is provided by the sunny south-facing loggia with an awning – directly accessible from the living room. It is a protected outdoor retreat, perfect for relaxed breakfasts, cozy afternoons, or mild summer evenings.

The apartment comes with a spacious basement storage room. In addition, a communal laundry room, a drying room, and a bicycle cellar are available. Especially convenient: the laundry room offers exclusive electrical and water connections for this apartment – ideal for a washing machine and dryer without detours.

The residential complex features a well-kept garage courtyard. Although the apartment is not assigned a garage directly, there is the possibility to rent parking spaces if needed – a practical solution for car owners.

The electrical system complies with current standards and was last professionally inspected in 2019. A fiber-optic connection is already available at the building and can be activated if required – perfect for streaming or home office.

The apartment is part of an owners’ community comprising 56 units spread over several buildings. The complex is professionally managed and continuously maintained: Prior to our purchase, comprehensive thermal insulation was carried out (exact year to be provided later), and in 2023 the front façade was freshly painted. The well-maintained appearance and the quiet neighborhood make the property especially attractive.

A regular maintenance reserve is continually built up by the owners’ community – a clear sign of sustainable care and the preservation of the property’s value.

The apartment is situated in a quiet, green area of Essen-Gerschede – directly across from a park that was redesigned two years ago as part of a renaturation project by the Emschergenossenschaft. Since then, the Pausmühlenbach runs as an open stream with a biotope through the park, providing a nature-oriented environment with walking paths and seating areas.

The area is characterized by well-kept multi-family houses, short distances, and a pleasant neighborhood. Shopping opportunities such as Netto, Aldi, Rewe, Penny, Lidl as well as bakeries and smaller shops are conveniently reachable on foot – as are pharmacies, general practitioners, and a kindergarten. Schools of all types are located in the nearby vicinity and are well connected.

In the immediate area there are several playgrounds and the allotment gardens KGV Hesselbruch and KGV Weidkamp. Also, the former Christian Levin colliery is just a few steps away and, as a former coal mine, reminds one of the industrial history of the district.

The park at the Brickworks ("Park an der Ziegelei") as well as the historic “Old Gerschede” with its charming half-timbered houses are also within easy walking distance, expanding the diverse leisure and recreation offerings available in the area.

Another social meeting point in the district is the Hans-Gipmann-Haus of the AWO. As a community center, it offers a variety of activities for all generations – from parent-child groups to leisure courses and cultural events.

The connection to public transport is convenient: A bus stop is located almost right outside the front door and is reachable within two minutes on foot. The nearest S-Bahn station is about a ten-minute walk away and offers a direct connection to the city center and surrounding areas. Via the nearby bicycle path, one can quickly reach Essen City or stroll along the rail trail towards the Rhein-Herne Canal.

The center of Borbeck with its weekly market, cafés, and castle park is about a 5-minute drive away. Essen City and the Westfield Centro Oberhausen are around 15 minutes away, and Bottrop is also about a 15-minute drive away, offering additional shopping and leisure opportunities. For DIY projects, the Hornbach home improvement store is in close proximity. The motorways A42 and A40 are also easily accessible – ideal for commuters.
