Here is the English translation:

The detached two-family house located at Am Wehrgraben 3 in Oberhausen lies in a quiet, green area in the Schwarze Heide district and impresses with its spacious layout as well as the extensive plot of approximately 1,278 m². With a total of approximately 273 m² of living space, currently divided between two residential units, the property offers ideal conditions for families, multi-generational living, or a combination of owner-occupation and rental. The living space is complemented by approximately 42 m² of utility space, consisting of a double garage and a boiler room.

The house was built in 1953 and expanded in 1973 with an annex at ground level. In 2005, extensive modernizations were carried out on the building envelope: the roof structure was completely renewed and insulated. All roof plumbing work was executed in high-quality copper. The windows on the ground floor were replaced and an additional storey for the second residential unit on the upper floor was added. A new gas heating system was also installed to supply the building with heat. Only in June 2021 was the heating technology renewed and a new gas boiler from Vissmann installed. Both residential units currently operate with a common heat consumption meter.

The ground floor offers approximately 136 m² of living space with four rooms, a kitchen, and a separate WC with a towel radiator. The bathroom with a shower is adjacent to the terrace and is therefore accessible only from the outside and not through the building. The rooms on the ground floor remain in their original state from 1953 and, corresponding to the construction period, some feature wooden paneling on the ceiling. All the piping there is also in its original condition. The rooms on the ground floor are heated using conventional radiators or floor convectors. Due to its condition, the interior of the ground floor is in need of renovation.

The upper floor and attic currently constitute a separate residential unit. It offers approximately 137 m² of living space with five rooms, an open kitchen, a bathroom, and a utility room (HWR). Access is via an interior staircase that runs through the ground floor apartment, so that both residential units are currently connected to each other. The rooms on the upper floor are heated with underfloor heating and were extensively renovated in 2005 as part of the additional storey extension.

The plot is completely fenced and secured with a gate system to the street. A long driveway leads to the double garage, providing enough parking space for several vehicles. The large garden, which faces southwest, is well maintained and offers diverse landscaping possibilities.

A spacious, paved terrace with a covered outdoor seating area invites you to relax, while the garden house with an integrated sauna and infrared cabin creates a private wellness area. The upper residential unit features a spacious roof terrace facing south. From there, you can also access the garden via an external staircase.

The house does not have a basement, but its layout offers generous usable space and modern living structures. Conduit for a fiber optic connection is present in the driveway, making a later connection easily possible.

The property is located in Oberhausen-Schwarze Heide, a quiet and green district in the western part of Oberhausen. Nestled in a well-established residential area with plenty of nature, the location offers an ideal combination of relaxation and proximity to the city. Walking and cycling paths, fields, and green spaces are in the immediate vicinity, inviting outdoor activities. At the same time, shopping opportunities, schools, and public transportation are quickly accessible.

The Schwarze Heide district has good basic amenities: along Neumühler Straße there are shopping opportunities and small stores for everyday needs. Several kindergartens as well as two schools are located directly in the district, underlining the family-friendliness of the area. The connection to the public transport network is very good with several bus lines, so that comfortable mobility is provided even without a car.

Via the nearby motorways A3 and A516 as well as the Oberhausen-Sterkrade train station, both the center of Oberhausen and the surrounding cities in the Ruhr area are quickly reachable. The Oberhausen-Holten exit on the A3 is in immediate proximity. For more extensive shopping opportunities, leisure activities, or cultural facilities, the adjacent districts of Sterkrade and Buschhausen as well as the Oberhausen center with CentrO and the Gasometer offer a diverse range of options.

A demand certificate for the building is available and can be viewed during inspections. There is also a short appraisal report on the building from September 2025.

This property offers plenty of space, diverse usage options, and is directed towards people who appreciate individual architecture, a spacious and well-maintained plot, as well as a quiet location. It is ideal for anyone who wants to live close to nature while also benefiting from the excellent connection to the city of Oberhausen and the entire Ruhr area.

The building opens up various usage perspectives: it can be developed into a spacious single-family house or – as it is currently – used with two residential units. For completely separate usage of the two units with separate access, corresponding structural modifications are required. Since the ground floor is in need of renovation and modernization, it is advisable to live in the upper residential unit during the renovation phase.

Overall, the property impresses with its very good structural condition in relation to its construction year, as well as the extensive plot, which together offer considerable potential for future-oriented and individualized use.
