Unique loft apartment with potential for a rooftop terrace in Ottensen.

For sale by owner – meaning no commission – I am offering my unique apartment with a loft-like character, located above the rooftops of Hamburg's Ottensen/Bahrenfeld district. The 91 square meters of living space are currently divided into 2.5 rooms, but it would be relatively easy to convert it into a well-designed 4-room apartment. The apartment is perfectly located, just 120 meters from the Ottensen S-Bahn station – but acoustically protected by other buildings. The vibrant center of Ottensen, with everything you could desire, is also within walking distance. Six years ago, it was completely renovated with great care. Here are just a few of its features:

* Real stone and breathable (optimizing the living environment) lime plaster walls
* Hand-scraped parquet flooring
* Wood-burning stove
* Walk-in closet
* Thoughtful lighting concept
* Shower and bathtub with modern sanitary fixtures
* 6 square meter south-facing balcony

A particularly special feature is the existing building permit for a rooftop terrace of approximately 16 square meters above the apartment. It will offer breathtaking 360-degree views of Hamburg – including the St. Michael's Church, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and the harbor, etc. - and thus forms a unique addition to the existing south-facing balcony. Since the apartment is located on the 5th floor and the building does not have an elevator, you'll stay fit :-)
In addition, there is an approximately 5 square meter attic room. The Art Nouveau building, constructed in 1910, is in good condition and is continuously and meticulously maintained by the owners' association. The rear and side facades have already been insulated, and the front facade and roof have been renovated. There is a healthy maintenance reserve fund. The monthly building fees are only €230.
Since this is a private sale, there are no agency fees.
