Loft in Hagen - green oasis in the city center

The property boasts excellent urban infrastructure, with educational and cultural institutions, nurseries, administrative buildings, and essential services all within easy reach. Access to the house is via a driveway, leading to the fully fenced property. An electric sliding gate with a remote control and a separate door (with an electronic opener) control access and ensure privacy. Visitors can use the new video intercom system. A covered courtyard with several parking spaces leads to the two-story house. A staircase provides access to the upper floor, which features three rooms and a daylight bathroom with a shower. However, it is not a self-contained apartment, but rather a living area accessible via two staircases. CAT7 data cabling and electrical installations for workstations or private computers have been installed here. There is also coaxial cable (for satellite TV) and a fiber optic connection to the house. On the ground floor, there are two additional rooms, a daylight bathroom with a bathtub, a guest toilet, as well as the heating system and the house's utility connections. Hot water is supplied centrally via a combination boiler and a water storage tank. A wide staircase leads to the very large former workshop of the factory, which features large windows facing southwest. The 20kW stove is water-fed, meaning that the water heated in the combustion chamber is transferred to the heating system's water circuit, reducing gas consumption or completely replacing it. This 104 square meter living room (width*length*height = 6*18*3.30m) houses an open-plan kitchen. The term "loft" is perfectly applicable here. The 2.25-meter high and 1.80-meter wide windows are equipped with electric aluminum blinds and interior blinds. The 70cm thick brickwork provides external thermal protection in the summer and creates a cozy, factory-like atmosphere inside. Data cabling and coaxial cable (for satellite TV) are also available. Connected to this space are two unheated, yet well-usable rooms: a tiled utility room with a drain and a hot water boiler, and a laundry area with floor drains, as well as a large hobby workshop/storage room with access to the garden. The garden can be accessed through a naturally lit loggia with a vibrant, translucent "plant covering," a hybrid of indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden features fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry), evergreen bamboo, cypresses, and a large birch tree. A private compost bin replaces the green waste bin not provided by the city. Four 300-liter rainwater tanks can supply the garden, especially the bamboo, with water for 6-8 weeks without using tap water. A permeable shade sail protects the lawn during periods of intense heat. Three additional rooms, in their original charming state with exposed ceiling beams, offer 80 square meters of space for bicycles, fitness equipment, a workshop, gardening tools, table tennis, old furniture, an archive, a studio, or similar uses; essentially, they serve as alternative cellar spaces, but without stairs. The 500 square meter roof area, with minimal shading, offers significant potential for economic use with solar panels. The zoning plan also allows for considerable intensification of development in terms of area and height.
