Spacious, completely renovated attic apartment with 3 rooms, located in a prime location. // mihome Architecture & Interior Design.

This high-quality renovated apartment is located on the 3rd floor of a well-maintained apartment building with only six units. A particularly attractive feature is that two of the apartments in the building are for sale, which creates interesting opportunities for both owner-occupiers and investors. Upon entering the apartment, you immediately notice the well-designed layout. From the staircase, you reach a compact entrance area with a hallway, a closet, and a separate storage room. The bright bathroom features a shower (walk-in, tiled), and a bathtub. The common areas are deliberately kept efficient, allowing the living spaces to benefit from a noticeable increase in space. Directly adjacent are two bedrooms, arranged side-by-side, which are pleasantly lit by large skylights and, despite the sloping ceilings, offer a very good sense of space. The sloping ceilings are ideal for custom-built fitted wardrobes, allowing for optimal use of the space. Next is a spacious, modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, high-quality new tiling, and completely renewed technical equipment. During the renovation, all the piping and sanitary installations were completely renewed, just like throughout the entire apartment. The heart of the apartment is the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, which is particularly impressive due to its spaciousness and thoughtful design. Continuous glazing provides plenty of natural light and offers a wide view of the surrounding area, towards Cologne. The open kitchen blends harmoniously into the overall design; additionally, the window area offers potential for an attractive built-in seating solution. The apartment has been completely renovated as part of a major refurbishment. This includes the complete removal and reconstruction of the screed and insulation, new interior insulation with Multipor panels, new windows with triple glazing and shutters, new flooring, new partition walls, structural improvements with new supports for more spacious room layouts, a completely new electrical system, new cable routes and connections for the kitchen and bathroom, new sanitary installations, a new underfloor heating system, new tiles, and extensive plastering and painting work. Overall, this creates an apartment that combines the charm of an attic space with the comfort and technical quality of a virtually brand-new interior. Note: The apartment will actually have slightly less additional insulation and triple glazing than shown in the plans, so the energy consumption is expected to be in energy class D.

The apartment is located in Bergisch Gladbach-Hand, a desirable and established residential area in the west of the city. Hand borders the districts of Paffrath and Gronau, and directly adjoins Cologne Dellbrück to the south; furthermore, Bergisch Gladbach as a whole is situated directly on the border with the city of Cologne. This location combines a peaceful, primarily residential environment with easy access to the metropolis, making it particularly attractive for those who want to live close to nature while still being well-connected to the city. The proximity to Cologne-Dellbrück in particular gives this location a special appeal: residents benefit from being in the vicinity of a popular Cologne district, and thus from a more urban environment, without having to sacrifice the relaxed quality of life in the Bergisches region. Dellbrück borders Bergisch Gladbach directly to the east, which further emphasizes the close proximity. Hand and the surrounding area also offer a high level of recreational opportunities. Bergisch Gladbach positions itself as part of the Bergisches hiking region, with numerous hiking trails and themed routes. In addition to this, the area is surrounded by natural areas and woodland landscapes, such as the Diepeschrather Forest and the wooded areas to the east of Dellbrück. This makes the location ideal for walks, runs, and excursions into nature, all just outside your doorstep. The micro-location also excels in everyday life. The areas around Hand and Paffrath benefit from a well-established social infrastructure, with daycare centers, primary schools, and local amenities. The city of Bergisch Gladbach provides its own capacity for daycare and after-school care within the Hand district; furthermore, there are additional options available in the vicinity of Paffrath. For leisure and recreation, facilities such as the Paffrath combined swimming pool and the well-known Mediterana in Bergisch Gladbach complement the location's profile. Both facilities are exemplary of the high quality of life and recreational opportunities in the surrounding area. Public transportation is also readily available: Marienburger Straße is designated as a bus stop within the current network of the Rheinisch-Bergischer district. Overall, the location offers a particularly attractive combination of peaceful living, a strong sense of community, excellent everyday amenities, proximity to nature, and easy access to Cologne.
