Space is rarely easy to add, and usually cannot be replaced, except through restraint. With approximately 160 square meters of living space spread over three floors (7 x 10 meters) and approximately 60 square meters of high-quality utility space in the basement, there is no need for restraint (and if space becomes tight: the attic, the eaves, and the garden shed can also provide some extra room). Ideal for large families or for those who simply desire more space. In addition, the 3 x 6 meter garage, located near the house, offers space for a car and more. Bright and open, with large, multi-pane windows, balcony doors, a panoramic sliding door, and large skylights (creating interior green/light spaces). Unfinished wooden floors contribute to a pleasant living environment. Instead of saying, "on the second floor, you'll find the exciting retro bathroom, offering you relaxing moments with its high-quality sanitaryware," here are a few key facts:
Approximately 120 square meters of living space on the ground floor and upper floor, and approximately 40 square meters of finished attic apartment (taking into account the roof slopes according to WoFlV). The enclosed volume is 662 cubic meters. The usable floor area is a generous 220 square meters. This is not a terraced house, but a truly solid and spacious home. 7 rooms (areas rounded to the nearest square meter) on the three full floors, and 3 rooms in the basement.
++++++ Basement (KG): 3 rooms, approximately 60 square meters of usable space.
27 square meters multi-purpose room with radiator: hobby room, workshop, gym, wellness area, etc.
22 square meters utility room with a separate heating room.
6 square meters storage room.
4 square meters hallway.
++++++ Ground Floor (EG): 2/3 rooms, approximately 60 square meters of living space.
39 square meters living/dining room (27 square meters and 12 square meters).
10 square meters kitchen.
9 square meters hallway.
3 square meters bathroom with window (shower).
17 square meters terrace (9 square meters covered).
++++++ First Floor (OG): 3 rooms, approximately 60 square meters of living space.

Information on equipment

Overall condition: well-maintained, with some age, and featuring several major renovations (heating system, window glazing, skylights). Immediately habitable. With three bathrooms and two kitchens, flexibility is available, and renovations to bathrooms and kitchens are also possible while the property is occupied.

-Basement: Floors in the laundry room/hobby room are large-format tiles; the hallway/storage area has tiles from the 1970s.
-Ground Floor: Floors in the hallway/kitchen are terracotta tiles; the living room has oak parquet flooring (plank style, floating installation); bathroom renovated in 2011 with large-format tiles.
-First Floor: Floors in the hallway/rooms leading to the balcony are oak parquet flooring (plank style, floating installation); the front room has beech parquet flooring (plank style, floating installation); bathroom has tiles from the 1970s.
-Attic: Floors are maple parquet flooring (plank style, floating installation); bathroom has tiles from the 1970s. Terrace, cellar entrance, loggia completely tiled (1970s), external power sockets, lighting.
Doors: Real wood veneer (walnut?), tubular chipboard, cellar door plastic/steel, painted white.
Many power sockets (similar to the Siemens Delta system) and circuits (3-wire, 10 A/16 A, hobby cellar with CEE socket 400 V), fuse boxes per floor (dated 1976, with H-circuit breakers and RCDs), all installed flush with the walls. Coaxial cables in many rooms run through empty conduits (potentially replaceable with network cables/CAT7). Siedle intercom system (TL111, easily upgradable to the current model CL111) with intercom stations on each floor, and an electric door opener. Staircase: open/laid steps made of tropical wood (likely Red Meranti). All windows have plastic roller shutters (manual, with cords), and the shutter boxes are integrated/flush with the wall. Cellar: Fully basemented, with a large ceiling height of approximately 2.3 m, a "universal room" with large window openings (1 x 1 m, light wells 0.5 m deep), a radiator, and a staircase to the garden (1 m wide). All rooms have smooth walls/plastered/painted white, and the floors are tiled. The ceilings in the hallway/storage room/utility room are smooth, while the ceiling in the hobby room has a rough texture, and all are painted white. The terrace is partially covered, while the balcony is completely covered, effectively creating a loggia. When a significant portion of living space extends outdoors during the warmer months, it offers invaluable benefits. What are some other major advantages?

- Reduced problems associated with balconies, such as high humidity and frequent maintenance issues (drainage, waterproofing, building connections).
- Protection from the elements: Enjoying the outdoors even during spring and summer rain, energy-efficient clothes drying, airing out clothes and bedding, leaving the outdoor kitchen in place, simply leaving the cushions for the lounge area outside, making many things easier.
- Sun protection and shading for adjacent rooms without the need for blinds, which can darken the space.
- Privacy and sound insulation from neighboring houses.
- Usable year-round.
- Significantly reduced exposure to heavy rain for the facade and windows.
- Doors and windows can remain open even during rain.
- Can be expanded into a terrace living room with a glass roof, potentially even creating a fully enclosed winter garden. Pre-fabricated concrete garage, with a footprint of 18 m² (external dimensions 3 m x 6 m), connected to the house's electrical system with a 5-wire connection (likely 1.5 mm²), and equipped with its own distribution board, sockets, and lighting. The front garden features paved granite cobbles, a granite staircase, and an overhang. The back garden includes a garden pond with a stream, paved granite/porphyry cobbles, natural stone walls and borders, and a beautiful collection of mature trees.

Location

Location is a crucial factor, both big and small. Moving house won't change the micro or macro location, and you can't simply turn it around. In this case, it's not necessary: Bensheim offers everything, and much of it is within walking or cycling distance from the western part of Bensheim. Access to the Rhine-Main region and the Rhine-Neckar area via the A5/A67 motorway is also close, as is Bensheim train station (a long-distance station with ICE train service). Schools, playgrounds, healthcare, large and small shops, a swimming pool, and opportunities for recreation are all nearby. The nearest playground is just a 5-minute walk away, and the primary school (Joseph-Heckler School) is also within walking distance (15-20 minutes, although parents with young children might need a bit longer). The daycare center on Fuldastraße is just a 5-minute walk away, and secondary schools are a 15-20 minute bike ride away (meaning the "school taxi" can usually stay in the garage). A cinema is nearby, as are garden centers and hardware stores. All the major supermarkets are within a 5-10 minute drive. Here, you can save a lot of wasted time, which can be better spent in the garden or at the Kirchberghäuschen. Short distances are guaranteed (all distances are estimates). -2.0 km: Local recreation area "Erlache" / Nature conservation center "Bergstraße"
-2.5 km: Vineyards on the Hemsberg
-1.5 km: Nature reserve "Tongruben" (clay pits)
-1.5 km: Golf course
-0.7 km: City outskirts / Fields with views of the Odenwald forest
-1.7 km: Indoor and outdoor swimming pool (where else can you find that?)
-1.5 km: Train station
-1.0 km: Large Edeka supermarket and many other shops
-1.5 km: Old town with pedestrian zone

The neighborhood is quiet and well-maintained, the views are green, and despite being in a row of houses, the property is very private, with limited visibility, beautifully landscaped with high-quality outdoor features, and not just a stone's throw from the front and back neighbors. There is very little traffic; a small, usable side street/dead end runs in front of the house, used almost exclusively by the neighbors. Because of the rear access to the garden, with parking space, garden waste and sand for the sandbox do not need to be carried through the house. The cellar exit to the garden saves wear and tear on the staircase (and the carriers), and allows items like a table saw, planer, treadmill, weight station, etc., to be easily stored in the cellar. The south-facing aspect of the back of the building provides optimal natural light throughout the house, ensuring a sunny spot all day long. In the summer, the terrace and garden enjoy the highest quality sunlight – the "end-of-day sun" – from early morning until late evening. Families with children will appreciate the neighborhood, as many houses have undergone generational transitions, and playing children are once again a common sight in the area, just like in the early 1980s. The garage is located just a few meters from the house and also faces south, and the potential for solar energy is already being utilized. According to planning regulations, the area is designated as a general residential area (WA) in the Bensheim West development plan, amendment BW5 2. There are no building encumbrances (as confirmed by the building encumbrance register of the Bergstraße district), no rights of third parties are registered in the land registry, there are no outstanding development costs, and no development/sewage and road charges (according to information from the city of Bensheim).

Miscellaneous

Energy
Natural gas consumption for 2022–2025: 12,400–13,500 kWh (for one person). This results in 80 to 130 kWh/m² depending on the heated living area, placing it in energy efficiency classes C to D. According to the energy performance certificate (which measures energy demand), it is 229 kWh/m² (class G).
The heating system is a natural gas condensing boiler (Buderus GB 162-15, built in 2009), with "traditional" radiators and thermostats. The thermostats have largely been replaced.
The walls are made of Poroton 24 masonry bricks. There is no external wall insulation. The windows are made of (tropical) wood (red Meranti) with insulated glass. Most of the windows are from 1976, except for the large panoramic lift-and-slide door (5 meters wide) leading to the terrace, and both kitchen windows (2 meters wide), which were replaced in 2017. Two Velux roof windows were also completely replaced around the same time.
Photovoltaic: 2 modules with storage on the garage, and 2 modules with storage on the loggia.
The roof insulation dates from the 1990s and consists of: mineral wool between the rafters, polystyrene below the rafters, and a gypsum board. The ceiling to the attic is also insulated in the same way, with a wooden paneling on top. The attic itself is not insulated (cold roof).
The property was continuously occupied until November 2025, and has been continuously heated since then. It is regularly visited for ventilation, watering plants, and feeding fish, etc. IMPORTANT NOTES:

Please refrain from contacting real estate agents; all inquiries should be made directly by interested parties. The pictures show the property at various stages and conditions, as the house is currently being gradually cleared out and renovated. Unfortunately, some clutter is unavoidable. The floor plans show the standard design, but there have been adjustments in the actual construction (e.g., the ground floor bathroom is larger to accommodate a shower; the terrace is larger; the upper floor door to the balcony also serves the room on the right; the attic has no door on the right, no partition wall, and a larger bathroom to accommodate a bathtub). Viewings are possible upon presentation of proof of financing/capital. However, due to work/vacation commitments, viewings will only be possible from July 25, 2026. I would appreciate a brief explanation of why you are interested in the property and how it fits your search criteria. Please include your name, phone number, and address when making inquiries. If there are multiple interested parties, a private bidding process may be implemented.

Broker inquiries not welcome! According to § 7 UWG, unsolicited contact by brokers without the express consent of the recipient is prohibited!
