Two-family house in the countryside of Oberhausen

The detached two-family house at Am Wehrgraben 3 in Oberhausen is situated in a quiet and green location in the Schwarze Heide district and impresses with its generous layout and spacious plot of around 1,278 m2. With a total of approx. 273 m2 of living space, currently divided into two residential units, the property offers ideal conditions for families, multi-generational living or a combination of owner-occupation and rental. The living space is supplemented by approx. 42 m2 of usable space, consisting of a double garage and a boiler room.
The house was built in 1953 and an extension was added to the first floor in 1973. The building envelope was extensively modernized in 2005: the roof structure was completely renewed and insulated. All the roof plumbing work was carried out in high-quality copper. The windows on the first floor were replaced and an extension was added for the second residential unit on the upper floor. A new gas heating system was also installed to supply the building with heat. The heating technology was only renewed in June 2021 and a new gas boiler from Vissmann was installed. Both residential units currently run on a shared heat meter.
The ground floor offers approx. 136 m2 of living space with four rooms, a kitchen and a separate WC with towel radiator. The bathroom with shower is adjacent to the terrace and is therefore only accessible from the outside and not through the building. The rooms on the first floor are still in their original condition from 1953 and, in keeping with the year of construction, some have wood paneling on the ceiling. All the pipes there are also in their original condition. The rooms on the first floor are heated by conventional tubular radiators or floor convectors. Due to its condition, the interior of the first floor is in need of renovation.

A separate residential unit is currently set up on the upper floor and attic. It has approx. 137 m2 of living space with five rooms, an open kitchen, a bathroom and a utility room. Access is via an internal staircase that leads through the first floor apartment, meaning that the two residential units are currently connected. The rooms on the upper floor are heated by underfloor heating and were extensively renovated in 2005 as part of the extension.
The property is fully fenced and secured with a gate to the street. A long driveway leads to the double garage, providing ample parking space for several vehicles. The large, south-west-facing garden is well-kept and offers a variety of design options.
A spacious, paved terrace with a covered outdoor seating area invites you to relax, while the garden house with integrated sauna and infrared cabin creates a private wellness area. The upper residential unit has a spacious, south-facing roof terrace. From there, you can also access the garden via an external staircase.
The house does not have a basement, but the layout offers generous usable space and modern living structures. Empty conduits for a fiber optic connection are available in the driveway, so that a later connection is easily possible.

The property is located in Oberhausen-Schwarze Heide, a quiet and green district in the west of Oberhausen. Embedded in a mature residential area with plenty of nature, the location offers an ideal combination of relaxation and proximity to the city. Walking and cycling paths, fields and green spaces are in the immediate vicinity and invite you to enjoy outdoor activities. At the same time, shopping facilities, schools and public transport are all within easy reach.

The Schwarze Heide district has good basic services: Shopping facilities and smaller stores for daily needs can be found along Neumühler Straße. Several kindergartens and two schools are located directly in the district, underlining the family-friendly nature of the area. The public transport network is very well connected thanks to several bus routes, meaning that convenient mobility is guaranteed even without a car.

The nearby A3 and A516 freeways and the Oberhausen-Sterkrade train station provide quick access to Oberhausen city center and the surrounding cities in the Ruhr region. The Oberhausen-Holten exit of the A3 freeway is in the immediate vicinity. The neighboring districts of Sterkrade and Buschhausen as well as the center of Oberhausen with the CentrO and the Gasometer offer a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities.
