Mediterranean living under olive trees and cypresses

The property on offer is a beautiful neoclassical Italian-style villa dating from 1896, which was built as part of the World Heritage Site ensemble "Italian Village Bornstedt" like a Tuscan country estate with coach house on a very large, park-like plot.

The villa has been faithfully restored down to the smallest detail and has the style of an antique manor house. Since the renovation in 2023 - 2025, the villa has been equipped with all facets of upscale living and has retained the charm of past centuries.

Today, the villa is divided into two condominiums, each with its own entrance, like a "horizontal semi-detached house": Through the villa's Mediterranean patio at the rear, you enter the spacious garden level, where approximately 168 square meters of living space are spread over four pleasant rooms.

A bright entrance hall leads to the living room with a fireplace, the façade of which originates from an old Belgian manor house. Like all the rooms in the old building, the living room has a Prussian capped ceiling with a ceiling height of 2.75 meters.

The living room leads into the new building, which has oversized steel windows in the style of Victorian conservatories. In the spacious eat-in kitchen, which also offers space for a dining table, there are connections for a fitted kitchen with a kitchen island to suit your own taste. From here there is access to a further room, which is ideal as a study or guest room. The ceiling height in these rooms is approx. 3.50.

There is a side entrance to the street in front of the kitchen to make it easy to bring groceries into the apartment. A further shower and guest bathroom is also located here, which is also fitted with marble and Zellige tiles.

The entrance hall leads to the bedroom on the other side, which is connected to the master bathroom with bathtub and a walk-in closet.

All rooms face the courtyard garden to the south and east. On the street side, behind the entrance hall, there is a checkroom, a laundry room and a storage room.

The apartment has a southern flair and all the old style elements, is sunny and generously proportioned. It has smoothed walls, oak floorboards over underfloor heating, coffered doors and box-type double windows made of Mark Brandenburg pine that were rebuilt according to historical models. The new building, built like a conservatory, is equipped with air conditioning. Burglar protection is also part of this upscale living comfort.

A cellar room for bicycles, a parking space for your car and a sunny terrace round off the offer.

Gnarled olive trees in the courtyard, cypresses, an old French fountain and Mediterranean plants throughout create the perfect illusion of living in the middle of Provence or Tuscany. A very special property!
