Detached architect-designed house with granny flat in a prime location in the south of Ratingen

The property

We are delighted to offer you this prestigious and individually designed architect-built house.

This beautiful, detached single-family home with a granny flat was built in 1980 using solid, high-quality construction methods. It is located in the south of Ratingen's Mitte district, in a highly sought-after residential area, on an optimally oriented plot (south-west facing) with an area of 644 m². The lovingly landscaped, well-maintained and mature garden is almost completely enclosed by hedges, trees and shrubs along the property boundaries, offering a high degree of privacy.

The entire building is generously designed – with numerous windows that provide plenty of daylight. It is divided into a 5-room residential unit with approx. 168 m² of living space (including terrace), spread over the ground floor and attic, and a 2-room granny flat with approx. 52 m² of living space (including balcony). It can easily and comfortably be used as a classic single-family home. In addition, the house has a full basement and offers approx. 93 m² of usable space. The usable and storage space in the attic (partly crawl space, partly standing height up to approx. 1.80 m) amounts to around 42 m². Together with the usable living space in the basement (approx. 15 m²), this results in a considerable living and usable area of approx. 371 m². The usable area of the garage is an additional approx. 16 m². The entire ground floor and attic, as well as parts of the basement, are heated by underfloor heating.

The living room impresses with a spacious gallery and opens directly onto the covered terrace via floor-to-ceiling windows. The resulting open air space gives the room a particularly appealing effect with a ceiling height of over five meters to below the roof ridge – bright, open, and with a loft-like feeling. There is also the option of installing a fireplace in the living room.

The house impresses with its comfortably sized hallways and corridors, which offer plenty of freedom of movement. All three floors have fully usable bathrooms with natural light, and there is also a guest WC on the ground floor. The bedrooms, children's rooms, and study are a comfortable size and some have floor-to-ceiling windows. The gallery and passageway rooms with creatively used corners and niches create a unique, exclusive floor plan and an innovative room concept.

The basement also deserves special mention: in addition to classic basement, heating, and storage areas, there is a comfortable living space with an adjoining shower room and windows that provide natural lighting. This area has been officially approved as living space and is therefore ideal for use as a guest room, children's room, or additional granny flat. The exterior basement walls are made of high-quality waterproof reinforced concrete. A surrounding ring drainage system reliably protects the building structure from seepage and groundwater.

The house also includes a single garage (included in the purchase price) with a practical double garage door leading to the garden. Another car can be conveniently parked in the driveway to the garage.

The pretty little garden pond and the outdoor seating area with an open pergola round off this attractive offer.
