Detached house near Meisenheim, with a garden, courtyard, terrace, and balcony.

Meisenheim, just 5 minutes from Odenbach and easily accessible by bike, is one of Germany's most charming small towns, boasting a delightful old town and a wide range of social and cultural activities. Odenbach has excellent public transportation links and high-speed internet (fiber optic available). This detached sandstone single-family home, full of charm and built around 1910, offers a practical layout, bright and airy rooms with a pleasant ceiling height (upper floor: 2.65m / ground floor: 2.35m), and the atmosphere of historical details, such as wooden floorboards, ceiling beams, and exposed brickwork. The outdoor area is also particularly attractive: a small courtyard approximately 10 meters long, a 5-meter balcony, a covered "rooftop terrace," and a garden on a slope (south-facing), partially laid out in terraces. All with an unobstructed view into the Odenbach valley. Enjoy your "piece of the hillside" with its mature trees and an additional property access from the upper road. While unassuming from the outside, it unfolds into a treasure with potential on the inside. Important:
The house is located (well) outside the flood zone. It is not a listed building. This property is also well-suited as a vacation home, as nothing in the house freezes during the winter, allowing it to be left unoccupied without concern. It is a simple house and does not meet modern standards, but it is of very good construction quality, and much work has already been done, including the roof structure, electrical system, insulation, toilets, windows, and water pipes (in part). It is ready to move into immediately! Depending on your personal preferences, you can gradually undertake various projects (e.g., central heating/pellet heating, solar panels, etc.).

Layout:
The entrance has a staircase leading to the first floor (ground floor) and an exit to the courtyard. To the right is a narrow storage room, and to the left are a guest toilet and a small vaulted cellar. On the ground floor, from the hallway (with stairs to the first floor), to the left is a room, followed by another toilet, and to the right is the kitchen with a stove and a separate room with a shower (a so-called "Frankfurt bathroom"). A sliding door leads to another room (currently a utility room) with an exit to the courtyard, and there is also a storage room. The narrow wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which has a large balcony. To the left is a room, to the right is the living room, and adjacent is a bedroom. A sandstone staircase from the courtyard leads to the terrace, which has access to the attic and the garden. The heating is provided by individual wood-burning stoves (5 stoves are connected, with the possibility of adding 6). The house has 2 chimneys, which allows for two different heating systems to be used simultaneously. Everything has been inspected and is in good working order by a certified chimney sweep.
