Ehrenfeld-Bickendorf: Renovated, unique detached house in a historic building, now available, with a large garden.

Renovate and move in – that's all you need to do: This beautiful, historic building has been completely renovated and sustainably modernized with an eco-friendly approach. The charming, historic courtyard property is a detached single-family home, featuring a large, landscaped courtyard with a parking space and a spacious, secluded garden with a garden house, pond, and sauna. The house requires NO further renovations, as everything has already been done, and there are NO renovation obligations due to its listed building status. The exterior walls are built with bricks up to 50 cm thick, the gas boiler is from 2015, there are 2 new bathrooms from 2022, and a new kitchen from 2023. All electrical, water, and gas lines were replaced in 2022-23. You only need to renovate before moving in. Relaxation awaits upon arrival! This is the perfect new home for people who want to live in harmony with nature, love historic buildings and gardens, and don't want to give up the advantages of city living. Anything is possible in this property. Here, body, mind, and soul can find peace, and both people and animals will feel comfortable. An oasis in the heart of the city! As soon as you step into the beautiful courtyard, you're transported to a vacation atmosphere. The whitewashed facade with sash windows, the dormers, and the abundance of greenery give this house a unique charm. The house is L-shaped and has two floors: a ground floor and an upper floor, with sloping roofs. In total, the house has 6 rooms, two on the ground floor and three on the upper floor, including a large, open space (configured like two rooms). On the ground floor, you enter through the large kitchen and can go either right into the bright living room with two large floor-to-ceiling French doors leading to the terrace and the natural garden, or left into the guest/office area with a separate guest bathroom and a small kitchenette. A beautiful wooden staircase leads you upstairs, where you will find a large attic room with dormers and skylights on the left, and on the right, a large, open space leading to the bedroom with an adjoining comfortable bathroom and a walk-in closet. From the bedroom, you have a view down into the garden, which features mature trees, organic herb beds, flowering shrubs, and bamboo. In the center of the garden is a large, brick-built garden house (approximately 40 square meters), currently used as a shed and stable, but which would be ideal as a hobby room or studio. Behind the garden house is a large natural pond, and finally, the garden sauna with an outdoor shower.

The house was originally built between 1850 and 1870 and was completely renovated and modernized around 1990. In the following years, it was regularly maintained. In 2015, a new gas boiler with two separate heating circuits was installed, one for the ground floor (underfloor heating) and one for the first floor (radiators). During the bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2022-2023, the water and electrical wiring were also renewed, including heavy-duty wiring to the garden house and sauna, as well as preparation for a wallbox charging station in the courtyard.

A true rarity in Cologne is the large garden, which borders other gardens on the left, right, and at the end. If you would like to keep pets such as cats or chickens in the garden, it is easily possible. Squirrels, songbirds, and hedgehogs are also present in this large green space.

Located in Köln Nordwest, in the Ehrenfeld district, specifically the Bickendorf neighborhood, near the Rochusplatz subway station, on a quiet side street off Venloer Straße.

The subway and all essential shops (Rewe, Netto, dm, bakery, pharmacy, bank, bookstore, wine shop, etc.), the weekly market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and restaurants are all within a 2-3 minute walk. The building is 300 meters from Rochusplatz.
