The property
A home that captivates at first glance: a timeless aesthetic meets an exceptionally well-maintained corner lot with beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces. This end-of-row house, built in 1966, has been in the same family since its construction, offering not only an interesting history but, above all, the opportunity to pass on a home that has been lovingly maintained for decades to new owners. Nestled in the heart of a quiet, established single-family neighborhood with friendly residents, the property sits on a lot measuring approximately 520 m². The corner lot offers a special degree of privacy and open space. The fencing was completely renewed in 2015 and underscores the well-maintained overall impression even from the outside. The beautifully landscaped garden, facing southwest, invites you to linger with its generous green spaces and sunny areas. The outdoor area is complemented by an attractively designed patio that extends the living space into the garden.
The interior of the house also has plenty to offer: The property has a full basement and features approximately 164 m² of living space spread across two floors. Originally designed as a single-family home with a granny flat, the property now offers exceptional flexibility in its use. The existing layout makes it possible to use the individual areas separately if needed—an interesting solution, for example, for multiple generations living under one roof, combining living and working, or for families seeking an additional, private living space. Another special feature is located under the roof: The attic has been fully converted and transformed into a comfortable, livable space. Here, you’ll find additional space that can be used in a variety of ways, further expanding the property’s already generous amount of space. We’ll go into more detail about the exact layout and the various usage options later in the tour.
But let’s begin our virtual tour in front of the house and, via the centrally located staircase, first enter the ground-floor guest apartment. With approximately 82 m² of living space, you have a total of three rooms here, which are comfortably distributed throughout the floor. From the entryway, you can access all the rooms in the apartment: on the right is the smallest of the three rooms, which is ideal, for example, as a children’s room or home office. Right next to it is the bathroom with a tub, which was modernized in 2007. Straight ahead, you’ll find the master bedroom and the spacious living room. Both rooms offer direct access to the garden, creating a beautiful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The centerpiece of the apartment is the approximately 38 m² living and dining area. Plenty of natural light and a large window create a pleasant living atmosphere here. At the same time, the living area offers a beautiful view of the well-maintained, green garden. Adjacent to it is the kitchen, which is already equipped with built-in appliances. Those who prefer a more open floor plan will also find interesting potential here: by removing the existing wall, the kitchen could be integrated more fully into the adjoining dining area according to personal preferences, thus creating a modern, open living space.
Back in the hallway, we now continue our tour on the first floor. Here, too, you’ll find a generous 82 m² of living space with a total of four rooms. First, we enter a smaller, open-concept entryway, from which the first rooms are accessible. On the right is the convenient guest bathroom, while on the left is another spacious room with a separate walk-in closet. From here, a spiral staircase leads directly to the converted attic—but more on that in a moment. Only then do we enter the self-contained apartment on the first floor. The apartment itself features three additional rooms. When used as a single-family home, this level is ideal as a private retreat—for example, with a master bedroom, children’s rooms, and an additional room for personal use. If, on the other hand, the property is to be used as a two-family home again, the original layout can also be easily restored. The former kitchen is now located in the room on the right-hand side of the apartment. The necessary connections are still in place, so this room can be converted back into a kitchen if needed. The two other rooms each have direct access to the beautiful balcony, which offers plenty of sunlight and a pleasant view of the green garden. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy the outdoor area from this floor as well. The bathroom, equipped with a shower, rounds out the living space on this level. Let’s now return to the spiral staircase mentioned earlier and head up to the converted attic. Here, you’ll find additional, comfortably finished living space that can be used in a variety of ways. In total, you’ll find two additional rooms that can be used entirely according to your personal preferences—for example, as guest rooms, hobby rooms, home offices, or quiet retreats. The attic is complemented by a bathroom with natural light and a shower. A special highlight of this level is undoubtedly the built-in sauna. This means the house even offers a small private wellness area.
The basement also offers more than one might initially expect: in addition to the usual basement rooms and the area for the heating system and utility connections, this level stands out in particular for its exceptional ceiling heights of nearly 2.40 m. Added to this are existing windows that let in natural light, as well as the partially finished, livable character of the rooms. The retro bathroom and the existing party room are particularly eye-catching. Both give the basement a character all its own and make it clear that, beyond the classic storage and utility spaces, additional rooms are available here.
The two garages round out this attractive offer for you.
