Apartment Dorotheenstr. 27/29 in Essen-Rüttenscheid:

Energy performance certificate available, energy source: gas, 75.22 kWh; built in 1953. Energy class C including the hot water preparation – here we have an exceptionally low energy value.

This is a quiet multi-family house in the popular "Mädchenviertel" in Essen-Rüttenscheid, i.e. in a prime location of Rüttenscheid.

Only 1- and 2-person households live in the building. The house is equipped with a modern gas central heating system with central hot water supply as well as external wall insulation and roof insulation, which results in very good energy consumption values. The entrance hall was recently refurbished with new plaster and paint. In the attic there is a drying room running along the entire building for drying tenants’ own laundry. Each apartment has a small basement storage room. A few months ago, all double-glazed plastic windows in the building were replaced by energy-saving triple-glazed elements and additional burglary protection measures classified as RC 2 were installed, so that the energy consumption will decrease further due to these additional energy measures.

Gas central heating with central hot water supply, with the hot water measured by individual meters so that everyone only pays for what they consume.

The apartment on offer is located in a well-maintained multi-family house that has been regularly serviced/upgraded. The exterior walls and the attic of the house are insulated. In the attic area, there is the possibility for tenants to dry their own laundry. In the building’s basement, there is a gas central heating system which was renewed just a few weeks ago as a new energy-saving condensing boiler that supplies the entire house with heat. In addition, to save further energy costs, all plastic windows were replaced a few weeks ago with new energy-saving triple-glazed plastic window elements. All energy-related measures to cut energy costs have now been implemented in and on the house, so that the energy performance certificate is no longer current because the values have dropped drastically due to these energy measures.

Alternative offer: 2.5-room Essen-Holsterhausen, Holbeinstr. 4 with terrace:

Holbeinstraße 4 is located in the popular Essen district of Holsterhausen. Holsterhausen combines the advantages of a small town with those of a big city. The Gemarkenstraße, which borders Holbeinstraße, is the small shopping street of Holsterhausen. Here you will find all shops for daily needs. In addition to the bakery just around the corner, there are also doctors and pharmacies situated here. Public transport is conveniently available via Gemarkenplatz, which is within a 5-minute walk. The district court and the hospital in Essen are also quickly reachable on foot.

The highway on-ramps for the A 40 and A 52 motorways can be reached by car in approximately 3 and 6 minutes, respectively.

Both Holsterhausen and Rüttenscheid are very popular districts in southern Essen, i.e. in the preferred residential area of Essen, yet not too far from the main train station and the city center. Both districts are also favored by singles for living and residing.

Apartment, Dorotheenstr. 27-29 in Essen-Rüttenscheid:

The apartment features an entrance hall from which the shower room and the living/sleeping area can be reached. The hallway is tiled. The bathroom is equipped with a shower tray, a WC, a sink, and a connection for the tenant’s own washing machine. The sanitary and floor tiles are white, while the wall tiles are blue.

Alternative offer: 2.5-room Essen-Holsterhausen, Holbeinstr. 4:

The images provided here are those of the neighboring apartment upstairs. The floor plan is identical. However, the previous tenant had the factory-finished wooden floorboards sanded down and finished in a clear lacquer. In the apartment available for rent, these floorboards are not in their natural state, so it is recommended to cover them with the tenant’s own carpet or laminate flooring, although the existing laminate flooring from the previous tenant can also be taken over.

The 2.5-room apartment, which is located on the raised ground floor of the multi-family house, is entirely fitted with colored lacquered wooden floorboards (see note above), except for the bathroom, which is tiled, and the terrace belonging to the apartment also has paving stones. The bathroom is furnished with a bathtub, a sink, and a WC. In addition, there is space in the bathroom to install a washing machine. The necessary connections are available. The designated place is next to the bathtub and is therefore unobtrusive. In the building’s basement, there is a tenant-specific storage room. From the hallway, one can reach the bathroom, the bedroom, and the living room. The kitchen is accessible from the living room and is located behind it. Both the kitchen and the living room receive plenty of sunlight from noon onward. These rooms face the garden and are therefore absolutely quiet, even though Gemarkenstraße is directly adjacent. From the kitchen, there is access to the terrace, which also opens onto the quiet garden. The terrace has an area of about 17 m² and invites you to relax and linger, and is the highlight of the apartment. Facing Holbeinstraße is the bedroom. From here, one can look out over the tree cover of the church garden opposite. In front of the bedroom window there is a new shutter. The rear garden is bordered from the neighboring properties by a garden wall, so that unrestricted access by third parties is not possible.

In the attic there are still common drying areas for all residents to dry their laundry. The wall surfaces in the apartment are covered in textured wallpaper (Rauhfaser) and are currently in Binder white – that is, no color alterations.

Note regarding the pictures: All the initially provided pictures, including the garden image and the front view of the house at Dorotheenstr. 27/29, belong to the apartment at Dorotheenstr. 27/29 in Rüttenscheid – i.e. the first 17 pictures.

The subsequently provided pictures belong to the alternative offer: the 2.5-room apartment in Essen-Holsterhausen – i.e. the last 8 pictures. The exterior of Holbeinstraße also makes a well-maintained impression. However, no perspective images showing the insulated façade are available here. The bathroom tiles on Holbeinstraße correspond in color to the first bathroom picture for Holbeinstraße, not the second and third pictures, where the tiles appear too dark in the photos. In reality, they are rather lighter, as in the first picture. If interested, please contact via email and indicate which apartment you are interested in. Thank you.
