House for sale 6+1 • 280 m² without real estate, Hesse

The historic Hofreite, which beautifully displays its half-timbered heart, is situated on a 379 m² property. It consists of a meticulously renovated residential building and a barn located behind it that has also been extensively converted and designated as living space.

This extraordinary ensemble impresses with its excellent location on an idyllic spot in the heart of Rodenbach and its historic flair. It is a listed cultural monument and is under monument protection. The property is located at the end of a dead-end street with no through traffic. Peace and quiet are guaranteed.

The approximately 280 m² of living space are composed as follows: about 138.20 m² of living space in the main building plus an additional approximately 47.60 m² of usable space in the ancillary building (the former stable), and approximately 140.70 m² of living space in the barn, which was developed in 2022 and is officially designated as living space.

The individual rooms in the main building are arranged as follows:

Ground floor: hall, dining room, fireplace room, kitchen, cloakroom, daylight guest WC, and a room that can be used as a child’s room, study, or guest room.

First floor: hall, living room, children’s room, and a daylight bathroom with a bathtub.

Attic: bedroom and a small open gallery.

Directly in front of the house is the courtyard of about 130 m², which provides access to the barn. To the right of the residential building lies the front garden, which boasts flowers, shrubs, and mature trees. The courtyard is completely enclosed and not visible from the outside.

The property is located in Rodenbach, in the popular inner-city area of Niederrodenbach. Rodenbach, which lies east of Hanau, offers its residents a variety of cultural activities and attractive leisure opportunities, not least because the Hessian Spessart Nature Park is virtually at your doorstep with the surrounding forest. Numerous hiking and cycling paths lead from the long-established town of Rodenbach, which was first documented in 1025, into the surrounding area and invite you on exploratory tours.

Its location amidst an exceptionally charming landscape, its good connections to the Rhine-Main area, and the idyllic town center with its small alleys, picturesque corners, and half-timbered houses particularly distinguish this small town, which has a total population of around 11,000.

All everyday shops, as well as kindergartens and schools, are located in the immediate vicinity and can easily be reached on foot. A bus stop is located just a few minutes’ walk from the house, ensuring quick access to downtown Hanau with its numerous shops, cultural and leisure facilities. Additionally, you can reach the nearby highways A66 and A45 and the Hanau interchange in just a few minutes, which provides excellent road access by car – for example, Frankfurt Airport is very quickly reached.

In a very pleasant and well-established inner-city location in Niederrodenbach and within walking distance from the town center, the property is set. The surroundings are characterized predominantly by older and historic buildings. The church is visible from the courtyard, although its bells do not disturb due to their considerate use. From the bedroom, one can see the well-known stork’s nest on the old defensive tower.

Within a few minutes, you can reach the nearby highways A66 and A45 as well as the Hanau interchange, which ensures excellent road access. Via the A3, Frankfurt Airport is also very quickly reached. Hanau, Aschaffenburg, Offenbach, and Frankfurt are all very easily accessible.

Hofreite features many historic elements that are considered well worth preserving. The residential building boasts a solid and high-quality finish, such as solid wooden interior doors with brass fittings, and fired clay floor tiles on the ground floor.

Additional features include underfloor heating on the ground floor, double-insulated wooden windows, an open fireplace that invites relaxation in the fireplace room, an open kitchen with a fitted country-style kitchen, a daylight guest WC, and a solid wooden staircase leading to the upper floor. On the upper floor, the rooms feature country-style wooden plank flooring and a floor-to-ceiling glazed gable in the living room that creates a unique atmosphere, as well as a super stylish daylight bathroom with mosaic accents, along with many exposed beams and timber framing, to name just a few of the numerous details.

The former barn impresses with its unique open architectural style that connects the rooms without walls. (See pictures.) The conversion of the barn is not yet entirely complete.
