Family home in Volkardey with a garage, parking spaces, a yard, and a loggia

The property

Located in a sought-after, family-friendly neighborhood in Ratingen-Volkardey, this middle unit in a row house built in 1984 sits on a 136 m² lot in a quiet, traffic-calmed residential area.

Nearly the entire residential neighborhood was built in the early 1980s through the 1990s. Lovingly maintained single-family homes are arranged in a close-knit layout, the front yards are tastefully landscaped, and the common areas are well-maintained. Thanks to the traffic-calmed residential streets, the playgrounds within the neighborhood and around the green lake, as well as its proximity to the city center, the neighborhood is ideal for families with children—the daycare center located right nearby and the elementary school just a five-minute walk away contribute to this appeal. The house offers a living and usable area of approximately 201 m².

The house itself, with its 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest restroom, a cozy living-dining room, a separate kitchen, and a low-maintenance garden, perfectly rounds out this family home. The living room with its integrated dining area faces the garden; plenty of light streams in through the large windows, which feature triple-pane glass. The kitchen faces the front yard. The ground floor is completed by a guest restroom and the entryway.

The upper floor features three bright bedrooms, which are ideal for use as children’s rooms, guest rooms, or home offices and offer plenty of space. There is also an interior bathroom with a shower. A small loggia adjoins the rooms facing the garden.

The attic, which has been converted with two dormers extending up to the roof ridge, impresses with its remarkable ceiling height, creating a loft-like atmosphere. A shower room, a small kitchenette, and additional practical living spaces complement this bright, balanced, and harmonious level. A private retreat has been created that is ideal for parents and offers a high degree of privacy. It is also well-suited for use in a multigenerational household or as a separate living area for adult or teenage children.

The property features a full basement with two basement rooms. Here you’ll find the heating system (gas central heating), the laundry area, storage space, and a multipurpose area—suitable, for example, as a hobby room, playroom, or similar.

The well-maintained, west-facing garden is the perfect size for a city garden and has been landscaped to be low-maintenance. The patio rounds out the property. The house also includes a single-car garage (garage courtyard) as well as two parking spaces located directly at the entrance to the private driveway leading to the house.

The very good energy rating is based on actual energy consumption over the past few years. Please note that this depends on individual usage and heating habits, and that the house is currently occupied by a working couple. The energy performance certificate also highlights the house’s energy-efficiency potential, particularly when heating is used consciously and in accordance with actual needs.
