Living by the Water—A Modernized Single-Family Home in Southern Ratingen

The property

This well-maintained single-family home, which underwent extensive modernization in 2013, is located in a desirable residential neighborhood in Ratingen’s Südstadt district, right on the Schwarzbach River. The home combines spacious living areas with a green, natural setting and offers a variety of possibilities for families and couples.

The entryway alone features a spacious foyer, a separate coat closet, a guest restroom, and large glass windows. In the rear section of the ground floor, facing the garden, there is a self-contained, versatile living area with a separate bedroom and shower room—similar to a granny flat. Thanks to its physical separation, this area offers plenty of privacy and is suitable, for example, as a home office, for older children, or for use within a multigenerational household.

The upper floor features a spacious living room with solid wood flooring, a dining area, and an adjacent kitchen. The open layout and large triple-glazed windows create a bright, inviting living atmosphere and bring the charming green surroundings into the living space. The fully equipped, high-quality kitchen (available for purchase as an option) offers direct access to the dining area. A fireplace in the living room creates a cozy atmosphere, especially during the cooler months. Genuine wood parquet flooring is installed throughout the entire upper floor.

From the living area, you have direct access to the approximately 23 m² southwest-facing balcony. From here, you’ll enjoy a special view of the approximately 1,600 m² pond directly adjacent to the property, as well as the wooded area along the Schwarzbach stream behind it. The natural surroundings lend the outdoor area a special charm and make it an idyllic retreat for nature lovers in every season.

From the living and dining area, a hallway with an integrated storage room leads to the master bedroom, two children’s rooms, and the main bathroom with a bathtub and shower.

A spacious double garage and two parking spaces in front of the house are available for vehicles.

The house does not have a basement. The gas central heating system with hot water supply, the laundry room, and an additional storage room are located on the ground floor. The photovoltaic system installed on the roof helps reduce ongoing electricity costs. Please note that the listed lot area also includes a portion of the pond/lake.
