House for sale 4+1 • 90 m² without real estateBerlin Köpenick Berlin 12555

In the beautiful southeast of Berlin – more precisely, in the quaint Köpenick-Spindlersfeld – a well-maintained single-family home from the 1930s in a sought-after residential area awaits its new owners.

The villa-like house, built in a square layout with a hipped roof, stands on a 450 m² plot featuring a large lawn and beautiful mature trees. It is located on a small cul-de-sac that is accessed by only three local residents.

The total available living and usable area within the house is approximately 125 m², spread over the ground floor (GF), upper floor (UF), and basement (BS). The property offers 4 rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, 2 guest WCs, a utility room, as well as two additional spaces in the basement for individual use.

On the property there is a south-facing terrace, a park-like large garden behind the house, and a landscaped front garden. In addition, there is a spacious garage annex, where in addition to the car, garden furniture and bicycles can be stored. Free driveway parking for residents in front of the property is also available.

This property, for sale here, impresses primarily with its green, quiet setting combined with excellent infrastructure and connectivity.

For those who value a nature-friendly environment with many leisure and recreational opportunities, desire short distances and a small-town ambiance while still wanting to enjoy the hot spots of Berlin and the amenities of a large city, this home will immediately feel like home and its attractive location will quickly be appreciated. Despite all the tranquility and charm, the surrounding infrastructure and connections leave hardly any wish unfulfilled: Whether it’s the S-Bahn, bus and tram stations, taxi rank, supermarket, kiosk, bakery, weekly market, restaurants, playground, daycare center, pediatric practice, high school, gas station, bicycle shop, and even a boat rental – everything is more or less just around the corner and quickly reachable on foot. And for all medical emergencies, the nearest hospital is only 3 kilometers away.

It takes less than 10 minutes on foot from the property to the nearby Spree River, where one can watch passing boats and watersports enthusiasts or even take a refreshing dip. And for those who crave even more water, a bike ride will get you to the large Müggelsee in 20 minutes.

District of Superlatives

Köpenick – located at the confluence of the Spree and Dahme rivers – is known as the district of superlatives for good reason. It is not only the most scenic district but also the largest in terms of area as well as the most abundant in forests, parks, and water, with the lowest population density in Berlin. Berlin’s largest lake, Müggelsee, and the highest elevation, the Müggelberge, are also not far away.

In the historic old town, completely surrounded by water, with its quaint alleys and numerous cafés and restaurants lining the banks of the Spree and Dahme, you will find Germany’s smallest brewery, which produces beer according to the first purity law of 1760. The old town is just under a 20-minute walk away and even faster by bike.

Berlin’s longest road, the Adlergestell, which stretches for 12 km and is reachable by car in 10 minutes, runs through Köpenick and takes you directly to BER Airport as well as to the Schönefeld motorway interchange for further travel in all directions. In Germany’s largest and most modern science and technology park, home to numerous companies and university institutions, you can arrive by bike or tram in 15 minutes. In the same travel time, one can also reach Germany’s oldest regatta course. Berlin’s only water castle, Köpenick Palace, built on an island and regularly hosting events, exhibitions, and concerts, is always worth a walk within just under two kilometers. In its backdrop, during the Advent season, one of Berlin’s most atmospheric Christmas markets takes place, offering visitors a special highlight: mulled wine rides on heated rafts.

In another direction, just 3 kilometers away, lies Europe’s largest children’s, youth, and leisure center, beautifully nestled within the forest of the large Wuhlheide Park. And a little further toward the center, one can admire Germany’s oldest and largest observatory with the world’s largest movable refracting telescope.

Shaped by 800 years of history, historic architecture, and a wide-ranging cultural and leisure offer for both young and old, this unique mix of tradition and modernity is found here. In this charming district far from the hectic bustle of the big city – yet quickly back in the heart of things, with the S-Bahn taking you to Alexanderplatz in 30 minutes – it is sometimes hard to believe you are still in Berlin. And undoubtedly, this includes the Müggelspree with its network of canals and many small bridges, which can be explored by canoe.

In short: The southeast of Berlin – also known as the “green lung” – offers unique leisure and recreational value, and thus permanently a high quality of life in Germany’s most coveted metropolis.

The property’s fittings are, by today’s standards, to be characterized as normal to simple. Nevertheless, the house exudes plenty of charm, has undergone some modernizations over time, and features certain details that will surely appeal to enthusiasts of old buildings.

The large living room on the ground floor, which is simultaneously the heart of the house, was enlarged by the previous owner for a more optimal floor plan and later equipped with access to the terrace. Original double-hung wooden windows flood this beautiful room with plenty of daylight and in the evening create a picturesque play of light that, if antique furniture is present, gives it an extra special patina.

The eastern part of the living room offers an idyllic view of the garden with its generously laid-out lawn, dense border planting, an imposing yew, and in spring, a lavishly blooming rhododendron. Four tall pines and two firs protect the house against wind and weather and, together with the characteristically thick masonry typical of older buildings, ensure that even on hot summer days the house remains pleasantly cool.

From the living room, one can access the ground-level terrace via a staircase. Paved with small cobblestones, the terrace is situated amid two green facades and exudes a Mediterranean flair in the summer.

A path from the terrace, passing by two 50-year-old fir trees, leads into the front garden and up to the garden gate. This allows visitors to be greeted directly on the terrace without having to enter the house at all.

On the upper floor, in addition to the shower room, there are three cozy rooms that can be individually used as bedrooms, children’s rooms, guest rooms, or offices.

Flooring

All 4 rooms feature intact original wooden floorboards, which can be restored to a new shine after proper refurbishment. Currently, carpet covering is installed over them, which can be easily and cleanly removed after renovation.

The flooring in the entrance area, kitchen, and all wet areas is outfitted with timeless tiles. The entire basement was also completely tiled during previous modernizations and to expand the usable space.

The two guest WCs are located on the ground floor and in the basement. Thus, a WC is conveniently available on every level of the house.

The modernized (in 2018) bathroom on the upper floor features non-slip floor tiles, an accessible (barrier-free) shower, and energy-saving hot water preparation.

Walls

All wet areas are fitted with timeless, partly high-quality wall tiles. In the living and bedrooms, the walls were once decorated with elegant textured wallpapers, emphasizing the villa-like character of the formerly stylishly furnished house. However, as even the most beautiful wallpapers cannot escape the passage of time, they too are in need of a fresh coat of paint or replacement.

Heating

The house is equipped with a fully functional central heating system featuring an energy-saving gas condensing boiler from 2014, which has been serviced annually. As part of earlier modernization measures, some original radiators were replaced with new ones and completely newly installed in the basement.

Roof and Gutters

The attic is not developed but is intact and dry. It is a ventilated, non-insulated roof that contributes to a good microclimate within the house.

The entire guttering system, both on the house and the garage annex, was completely renewed in 2021, including all downpipes.

A current energy certificate (energy demand certificate) is available, including a schedule for energy-related renovations.

The house requires some modernization measures but is in a fully functional and well-maintained condition.

1. Certified Market Value Appraisal

A certified market value appraisal in accordance with §194 of the Baugesetzbuch (German Building Code) is available for the property. It takes into account the location, building condition, defects, fittings, and need for modernization. The appraisal details the objective material value, the depreciation due to age, and the remaining useful life of all structures on the property. The market value determined in the report exceeds the sale price set here because the seller intends to sell the property promptly in a fair bidding process within the determined market value range – thereby eliminating any risk for potential buyers. The appraisal was carried out by a state-certified building expert and provides a qualified, objective, and independent valuation of the property. The buyer may inspect the appraisal before concluding the contract.

Note in advance: The house is not subject to any heritage protection regulations that would have to be considered in planned conversions or extensions.

2. Bidding Process

The private bidding process following the viewings is intended solely to accelerate the sales process. The highest bid does not automatically win the property. Ultimately, the seller decides, favoring a prompt sale to serious and solvent buyers whose creditworthiness and liquidity are secured. Accordingly, relevant documents should ideally be available at the time of the viewing or submitted promptly in order to participate in the bidding process. Only potential buyers who have inspected the property personally and exclusively during the aforementioned period may participate in the bidding process. Under certain conditions, a video viewing may be offered to interested parties who are unable to attend during this period. More details are available on request.

3. Viewings

Individual viewings will take place between November 15 and November 30, 2025. Please send appointment requests by e-mail.
