Flat for sale 1 bedroom • 18 m² without real estateSophienstr. 69 Karlsruhe Weststadt Baden-Württemberg 76133

The Concept: Freedom & High-Yield Investment

For sale is a well-maintained, fully furnished one-room apartment on the 3rd floor of the renowned "Studienresidenz Sophienstraße". Located in the heart of Karlsruhe’s Weststadt, this property offers a rare combination of private home ownership and the comfort of a professionally maintained environment—all available at an attractive fixed price.

True Ownership – Your Monopoly Advantage:

This is a full-fledged condominium with its own land register entry. While many owners in the complex have leased their units to the hotel operator for low returns (around €300 per month), this apartment is free from any lease agreements. The lease has been terminated, the apartment has been extensively renovated, and its earning potential has been maximized. You acquire a ready-to-go "cash-flow machine" and have 100% freedom to choose your own investment strategy.

Exclusive Location within the Building:

The unit is situated in the quiet residential wing (Sophienstraße 69–71). Entry is discreetly via a separate staircase with an elevator—far away from the hotel’s public circulation.

Usage Options:

• For Investors: Legally compliant short-term rentals (Airbnb/Booking) are explicitly permitted by the declaration of division.

• For Parents: The safest living option for student children – no roommate hassles, prime location near the KIT/university, plus daily janitorial service.

• For Commuters: Park your car in the underground garage, unpack your suitcase, and feel at home.

Airbnb Security:

A real unique selling point in Karlsruhe: The declaration of division permits both residential and commercial use. This means renting out the apartment through platforms like Airbnb is legally secure without needing a special permit for changing use.

Weststadt – Karlsruhe’s Premium Quarter

Sophienstraße 69 is located in one of Karlsruhe’s most desirable areas.

• Quiet & Central: A one-way street with no through traffic.

• Gutenbergplatz (600m): Weekly market, cafés, and restaurants just around the corner.

• Mobility: Bus/tram stops “Arbeitsagentur”/“Mühlburger Tor” (400m). Only 5–10 minutes away from KIT, the university, or the federal court.

• Investment Security: Proximity to federal courts and hospitals guarantees year-round demand. Vacancy is unheard of here.

Fully Furnished – Ready for Immediate Use:

After the termination of the lease, the apartment was renovated and is sold “spoon-ready” (i.e., ready to live in):

• Kitchen: A high-quality fitted kitchen (not a cheap pantry block!) featuring a ceramic hob, oven, extractor hood, refrigerator, and microwave.

• Living/Sleeping Area: A comfortable bed, a spacious wardrobe, a dining table, a TV stand, and a flatscreen TV.

• Bathroom: Brightly tiled with a shower and a powerful exhaust fan.

• Extras: LED spotlights, laminate flooring in a wood look, a southwest-facing balcony with midday sun and a view into the quiet inner courtyard.

• Technology: District heating (primary energy factor 0.26), energy class C (99.6 kWh/m²a). A washing machine connection is available right in the room.

The Hotel Plus:

Since parts of the complex are operated as a hotel, you benefit from daily cleaning of corridors and communal areas. These service costs are covered by the hotel operator—not by you as the owner!

Calculations (Based on a fixed price of €132,000):

While neighboring units typically yield only around €300 per month in lease income, you generate genuine market returns here thanks to the lease-free status:

• Scenario 1: The "Yield Turbo" (Student + external parking rental)

  o Apartment: €700 rent including utilities (tenant pays for electricity/internet separately).

  o Underground Garage Spot: External rental in this location for €75 per month.

  o Calculation: (€700 - €66 service charge) + €75 for the garage = €709 net per month.

  o Result: €8,508 per annum (≈ 6.4% net yield)

• Scenario 2: Furnished Business Apartment (3–6 months rental)

  o €1,000 all-in rent – €126 operating costs/electricity = €874 net per month.

  o Result: €10,488 per annum (≈ 7.9% net yield)

• Scenario 3: Short-Term Rental (Airbnb/Booking)

  o On average, 18 nights × €85 = approx. €1,000 net per month after costs.

  o Result: €12,000 per annum (≈ 9.1% net yield)

Economic Data:

• Service charge: only about €66 per month (including heating, management, trash collection).

• Reserves: For the community, approx. €273,851 (as of 2024). No special assessments are planned.

• Parking: Special usage rights for 58 underground garage spots and 4 outdoor parking spaces are included.

Conclusion:

Here you buy the freedom to implement your own investment model. Lease-free, renovated, legally secure, and with an unparalleled service charge.

All documents (energy certificate, declaration of division, economic plan, condominium protocols) are fully available in digital format and can be provided promptly for your bank review.

The sale is conducted directly by the owner—commission-free.

You save around €4,700 in broker fees, which either increases your yield or provides extra flexibility for personal use.
