House for sale 6+1 • 175 m² without real estateErfurter Str. 4, , Hesse

Single-family house in a prime residential location with approximately 175 m² of living area. No broker’s fee – purchase directly from the owner. Ready for occupancy on short notice. Additional living space can be created by finishing the spacious attic. Access to the ground floor is gained via an external staircase and a vestibule. The ground floor features a generous living area, including an adjoining kitchen, which opens to the adjacent garden to the west. A balcony with stairs provides direct access to the front terrace from the living area. The terrace is directly adjacent to the large, flat garden. Both the kitchen and living room offer large windows with distant views. A generously sized bedroom, together with an office and a bathroom, completes the ground floor. A staircase opening into a wide hallway leads to the living and functional areas in the basement. There, three well-proportioned rooms with south-facing windows and a bathroom are located. On the north side, you will find storage rooms and a laundry room.

The attic is already well connected to the living area via the staircase. The nearly unobstructed attic, with a clear height of approximately 2.60 m up to the rafter beams, offers expansion potential for creating an additional living floor.

In addition to a garage, further parking spaces are available on the property. The spacious garden to the west is landscaped with a lawn, perennial flower beds, various ornamental shrubs, and fruit trees.

The house is situated in a very quiet setting with a friendly neighborhood in a well-maintained residential area in the Sand district, the central part of Bad Emstal. It even boasts distant views. Due to its location at the turning point of a cul-de-sac, there is no through traffic, and the street provides space for more than just vehicles – for example, for playing children. The cul-de-sac location also guarantees peaceful nights. The spa park is reachable on foot in just 5 minutes. Within twenty-five minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bike/car, all amenities—including a school, kindergarten, savings bank, baker, supermarkets, restaurants, gym, hairdresser, pharmacy, and doctors—are within easy reach. The spa and resort town of Bad Emstal is nestled in the southern part of the Habichtswald Nature Park, amid hills and forests, making it ideal for relaxation and nature excursions. The documenta and UNESCO World Heritage City of Kassel, with its diverse shopping, as well as art and cultural offerings, is very well accessible by car or public transport. Highways A44 (to the west) and A49 (to the south and north) are only about 15 minutes away.

The entrance and hallway floors and the stairs are laid with natural stone. In the living room, genuine oak parquet flooring (not laminate) is installed in a ship deck pattern. High-quality oak veneer doors have been fitted on the ground floor. The bathrooms are brightly tiled, while the rooms feature carpeting. The ground floor is in good, well-maintained condition, and the basement living areas are generally usable; however, depending on usage, renovation with replacement of the floors might be advisable. The sale includes a fitted kitchen with electrical appliances.

Some of the windows and exterior doors have already been renewed and are equipped with insulating or thermal glazing. In the basement, the south-facing windows are fitted with shutters.

The exterior walls are constructed as a solid pour with perforated bricks, and the ceilings are made of reinforced concrete. The ceiling above the ground floor, facing the cold attic, is insulated on its upper side with 24 cm of insulation and an OSB layer. Thanks to the very good insulation, heat consumption has been significantly reduced, so the house can be heated economically. In recent years, consumption was around 15,000 kWh of night electricity (equivalent to about 1,500 liters of oil) when using the ground floor and sporadically the basement living areas.

Heating is currently provided by night storage heaters. It is recommended to convert to an energy- and cost-saving heat pump heating system. This conversion is subsidized by the state, with current support of up to 70%. The heat pump system can be combined with a photovoltaic installation. The roof orientation (south-southwest) with a 30° pitch is excellent for effective solar energy utilization. Additionally, using an existing yet unused chimney, it is possible to install either a pellet boiler in the basement or a fireplace, for example in the living room.
