Charming and stylish living – a 5-bedroom home near downtown in a renovated historic building

The property

This exceptional mid-row townhouse in Velbert combines the charm of historic architecture with modern living comfort and a unique sense of home. Originally built as a three-family home, the building underwent extensive renovation and modernization between 2002 and 2005 as part of a change of use, and was transformed into a charming single-family home with great attention to detail.

Spanning approximately 135 m² of living space across two levels, the home features a total of five rooms with versatile usage options. Whether for families, couples, multigenerational living, or working from home, the house offers ample space for individual living concepts and different life stages.

Already on the ground floor, you are greeted by a practical entryway with additional storage space for a coat rack and a laundry room, as well as a timelessly designed shower room with a toilet and natural light.

The heart of the property is located on the upper floor: spacious, light-filled rooms and the open timber framing with exposed beams give the living area a special loft-like ambiance with a warm, natural feel. The large window front leading to the roof terrace provides exceptionally beautiful natural light and creates an open, inviting living atmosphere. The floors on this level are finished with high-quality solid wood parquet, enhancing the stylish living atmosphere.

The modern, naturally lit bathroom features stylish tiles, a bathtub, a spacious floor-level walk-in shower, and a toilet. This level is complemented by a separate dining room, which can also be used as a home office if needed. The kitchen offers access to both the dining room and the living room and blends harmoniously into the open-concept living space.

Halfway up the stairs to the attic, you reach another, smaller roof terrace—an additional outdoor retreat.

The attic offers three additional rooms, which are ideal as a private retreat for the family’s bedrooms or, alternatively, offer a variety of uses and can be customized to your needs—whether as a bedroom, children’s room, or a flexible workspace, guest room, or hobby room.

This attractive property is rounded out by a basement, additional storage space, an approximately 183 m² lot, and an outdoor parking space directly adjacent to the house.

The property was built in 1884 and listed as a historic landmark in 1999. As part of the extensive renovation work carried out between 2002 and 2005, the historic elements were professionally modernized in accordance with historic preservation guidelines. The historic preservation status applies exclusively to the style-defining exterior elements such as the facade, the original wooden windows, and the classic gabled roof.

A unique property for anyone who wishes to combine the character of historic architecture with modern, light-filled living.
