Here is the English translation:

Attention owner-occupiers, individualists, and investors. A bright and well-maintained 2.5-room apartment on the third floor of a multi-party building with only 7 units in Cologne-Urbach, a central neighborhood in Cologne’s Porz district, is available for move-in after consultation. There are no brokerage fees, as the apartment is offered directly by the owner. The approximately 67 m² apartment is flooded with light so that you can enjoy a fantastic sunrise and sunset every day, with views of lush nature to the west and east—accompanied by birdsong—all while being ideally connected by transport and close to the Rhine.

The spacious, light-filled hallway fitted with porcelain stoneware and a large built-in wardrobe leads to the left into the bedroom. Straight ahead from the hallway is a generously sized bathroom adorned with white and light gray wall tiles and vintage wood-look floor tiles. Equipped with a large skylight, a washbasin, an illuminated mirror cabinet (including inner mirrors), two high-gloss white vanity cabinets each with 2 drawers, a wall-hung toilet, a bathtub, and a washing machine, the bathroom invites you to relax and unwind. Turning right from the hallway, you enter the friendly living and dining area (on the right) which is connected to a semi-open modern U-shaped kitchen (on the left), and both the kitchen, the entire bathroom inventory, and the hallway cabinet will remain with the apartment. Also connected to the living and dining area, behind the living room, is the east-facing balcony that receives seasonal sunshine in the morning or early afternoon, as well as a small additional room from which, for example, you can step out onto the balcony while working from home. In the past, this small room was used as a home office, bedroom, and hobby room.

The apartment comes with its own basement storage unit, which is equipped with lockable heavy-duty storage cabinets. There is also a lockable bicycle room and a laundry cellar available. Thanks to a concrete ramp at the rear basement door, the bicycle can be easily wheeled out to the street on a daily basis without the need for heavy carrying, and the bike remains protected. There are a sufficient number of parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the building. On weekends and outside the operating hours of the physiotherapy practice, parking right in front of the building is allowed.

Shops, newsstands, and fast food outlets (Italian, Greek, Asian) are conveniently located just a few houses away. The property has been managed for several months by a new, nationwide operating property management company (taking over from the old management) and a local caretaker service from Porz. This means you can enjoy your free time without having to worry about anything.

The property is ideally suited for singles, couples, or small families looking for a practical, friendly, and well-maintained apartment in a central and nature-close location—with no fear of unpleasant surprises. The owners’ association operates safely and responsibly; there have been no special assessments in recent years and none are planned. The monthly service charge is expected to be around €250 - €300. The current statement for 2024 is already being prepared by the new management. Small repairs and renovations have been planned for some time and can now finally be implemented thanks to the efficient property management. The property tax amounts to approximately €13 per month and is relatively low compared to other cities and regions. Fees for road construction work or similar are not levied by the City of Cologne.

Due to its uniqueness and reliable cost planning, the property is also ideal as a holiday home, second residence, or investment opportunity.

Short distance to both the city center and nature – guaranteed!

(Live) your life in the colorful metropolis of Cologne! In the Porz district, in the Urbach neighborhood (i.e. Cologne-Urbach), directly opposite a park and set slightly back on the extremely central Frankfurter Straße near Kaiserstraße and Waldstraße, you will find this cozy apartment where nobody disturbs your peace, and you enjoy an almost unobstructed view of the very green and urban surroundings. The immediate area offers a wide range of amenities such as fast food outlets, grocery stores of all kinds (German, Oriental, etc.), bakeries, cafés, newsstands, drugstores, schools, kindergartens, supermarkets, beauty salons, nail studios, discount clothing stores, a travel agency, bakeries, and much more.

The transport connections are perfect, with quick access to the motorways A59 and A3 as well as to public transport (bus, RE, RB, S-Bahn, tram), making it easy to reach the city centers of Cologne, Bonn, and surrounding communities such as Troisdorf, Sankt Augustin, or Siegburg.

The surroundings are characterized by green spaces and parks that invite leisurely strolls and even exotic recreational activities, as well as the Rhine, small lakes, and ponds. Notable are the Groov in Cologne-Zündorf or the Pollerwiesen. Want to try stand-up paddling, rowing, cycling, or horseback riding every day? No problem – within a radius of 3 km there are various clubs, including many carnival associations.

The location in Cologne-Urbach offers an ideal blend of modern urban life and relaxation. Due to the suburban setting with nature nearby, there is currently an increased demand for housing throughout the area, so that several new development areas with single and multi-family houses are either emerging or have already been completed within a 2 km radius, bringing young people and new energy to the Porz district!

The apartment has always been cared for meticulously and is continuously maintained, so that there is no backlog in renovations and no major investments are necessary prior to moving in. The fitted kitchen, a Nolte brand, as well as the bathroom fittings, will all remain completely with the apartment. The practical built-in wardrobe in the hallway can be immediately used to store your clothes.

• Walls: Wallpaper, painted white and sunny yellow

The apartment is currently occupied by the owner herself and can be moved into by arrangement. A notary in the local area has already been commissioned. Up-to-date documents (land register extract, energy certificate) are available.

The condominium comprises house numbers 506 and 508, which form an economic unit together with a ground-floor commercial space (a physiotherapy practice). In the building, many of the owners live directly in their apartments.
