Flat to rent 1 bedroom • 37 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Below is the complete English translation of the text enclosed by the tag:

Fully furnished (all furniture provided) small apartment, complete with 1 room, a hallway, and a bathroom – approximately 37 m² of living area. It features a mini fitted kitchen, a 2-burner ceramic hob, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, and a wall-mounted cabinet with lighting.

The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub and a shower installation. White, diagonally laid tiles cover the entire apartment.

There is also a large storage room on the same floor. (Since the building has an underground garage in the “basement,” the storage rooms are located in the building’s inner core – where the elevators are found. In addition to the private storage room of about 6 m² allocated for each apartment on every floor, there is also a common storage room.)

The entire apartment has already undergone a complete renovation. For example, all walls have been stripped of wallpaper; both walls and ceilings were sanded, plastered, smoothed, and painted (no wallpaper was reinstalled). This work gives the apartment a very attractive, slightly Mediterranean character. The kitchen includes a double hob, a refrigerator, a large cupboard, and one base cupboard.

The apartment was outfitted with new window glass, which has significantly improved its thermal insulation. A very lightly green-tinted glass was used, lending the incoming light – even on gloomy days – a particularly pleasant quality.

There is also a very large loggia.

The building dates from 1974 and contains 81 residential units – this apartment is on the south side. The entire complex has a boarding house character and reminds one a bit of a hotel.

The very well-kept residential complex offers additional amenities: a swimming pool, a sauna with solarium, a caretaker service, two party rooms, a laundry room (with Miele appliances: washing machines and dryers) and an on-site playground for children (although it is rarely used). There is also an underground car park with an on-site car wash area.

The price includes ALL costs – see also under “Miscellaneous” below.

English Short Version:

1-room, fully furnished apartment with a hallway, a bathroom, approximately 37 square meters of living space, a mini fitted kitchen, a 2-burner ceramic hob, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, and a hanging cabinet with lighting.

The bathroom comes with a bathtub and a shower attachment; white, diagonally laid tiles adorn the entire apartment.

There is a large storage room on the same floor (the building’s underground garage is located in the “basement,” so the storage rooms are situated in the inner core of the building where the elevators are located. In addition to the private storage room of about 6 m² for each apartment on every floor, there is also a shared storage room).

The entire apartment has been renovated; however, it still retains the original bathroom with the light blue tiles, which has been partially renovated. All walls were stripped of wallpaper, sanded, plastered, smoothed, and painted (no new wallpaper), giving the apartment an overall very pleasant, somewhat Mediterranean character.

The kitchen includes a double hob, a refrigerator, a large cabinet, and one base cabinet.

New window glass was installed in the apartment, which greatly improved its thermal insulation. A very slightly green-tinted glass was used, giving the incoming light – even in bad weather – a particularly nice touch.

There is a very large loggia.

The building, constructed in 1974, contains 81 residential units – this apartment is on the south side. The whole property has a boarding house character, reminiscent of a hotel.

The well-maintained residential complex features a swimming pool, a sauna with solarium, a caretaker service, two party rooms, a laundry room (with Miele washing machines and dryers) and an in-house playground for children (although it is rarely used). An underground parking garage with an on-site car wash area is included.

Herdecke can be compared to a typical town in southern Germany – just the downtown is delightful. Strolling along the Ruhr or having a coffee in the sun by the river feels like a holiday. Try it for yourself.

According to Wikipedia:

Herdecke [ˈhɛʁdəkə] is located on the Ruhr in the northern Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Touristically important attractions include, besides the high recreational value of the two Ruhr reservoirs, Hengstey and Harkortsee, and the forested Ardey hills, the historic Bachviertel (old town) with many half-timbered houses and the approximately 30-m-high Ruhr viaduct spanning the valley.

As part of its city marketing, Herdecke describes itself as “the city between the Ruhr lakes.”

The offer already includes a cable modem for cable TV (partially HD+) and a basic internet connection with WLAN (current clarification is underway regarding whether this option will continue, as the rules changed in July 2024).

Additionally, the lighting is already integrated (ceiling lights and wall lamps).

The apartment is a non-smoking apartment; however, occasional smoking on the balcony is allowed.

There is also a private website for the apartment – please ask for the address (currently inactive).
