Architect-designed bungalow with exceptional future potential, located in a prime area of Idstein - offered privately.

This is not a typical property – but a rare south-facing plot of land with architecture, a prime location, and development potential. This property should not be evaluated solely based on its construction year (1963) and current renovation needs. Its special value stems from the combination of a desirable residential location in Idstein, a 679 m² south-facing plot, a detached architect-designed bungalow, a clear north/south orientation, a fully basemented structure, and significant development potential. The purchase price of €937,000 is therefore not solely based on the approximately 156 m² of living space in its current condition, but on the overall potential:
a quiet location, a sunny garden, architectural significance, existing structural integrity, and building rights reserve. Based on the current parameters, with a gross floor area ratio (GRZ) of 0.30 and a site coverage ratio (GFZ) of 0.60, a potential gross floor area of approximately 407 m² can be calculated. Therefore, subject to planning and permitting regulations, the bungalow can form the basis for a significantly larger, more modern living concept. A variety of options are possible, including expanding or adding to the existing structure, incorporating a set-back top floor, creating a rooftop terrace with penthouse-like features, and utilizing the basement for a higher-quality purpose, such as a garden level. The appeal lies in the potential to transform a dilapidated architect-designed bungalow into a unique home for the future, one that seamlessly blends living, working, family life, and personal space. The house is situated peacefully and harmoniously on the property. The street is located to the north, while the living areas, terrace, and garden face the pleasant, sunny south. This clear distinction between the entrance in the north and the private living spaces in the south creates a unique living experience. The quiet, horizontal architecture, the flat roof, the central spiral staircase, and the direct connection to the garden still give the house its character. The large living area, with access to the south-facing terrace, forms the heart of the home. From here, there is a view of the garden. Additional rooms, such as bedrooms, a study, a children's/guest room, a kitchen, a bright bathroom, and a guest toilet, provide a solid foundation for individual redesign. The house requires renovation or modernization. It is precisely through this approach that technology, layout, energy efficiency, and design can be rethought – without having to adopt a foreign style. The prospect of a staggered upper level with a rooftop terrace is particularly appealing: providing additional space for a parent's area, guests, a studio, or a quiet home office with a view of the greenery. The fully basemented house, with basement heights of approximately 2.24 m to 2.31 m and the slope of the land, also offers potential for a high-quality garden level – for example, for guests, hobbies, fitness, a practice, a home office, or a possible self-contained apartment (subject to technical, legal, and structural assessments). This opens up a flexible living concept for families, self-employed individuals, and home office users: short distances, retreat spaces for multiple generations, working in a green environment, and a special work-life balance – where family, work, and relaxation come together in one place.

This property is aimed at buyers with imagination, a commitment to quality, and an eye for long-term value (not for people looking for a ready-to-move-in standard house). Those who recognize the location, architecture, and development potential will find a rare opportunity in a highly sought-after residential area of Idstein.
