Ehrenfeld-Bickendorf: Beautiful country house with a courtyard and large garden, ecologically renovated.

Beautiful historic courtyard property, sustainably and ecologically modernized, featuring a large, green courtyard, parking space, and a spacious, secluded natural garden with a garden house, pond, and sauna. This is the perfect new home for people who want to live in harmony with nature, appreciate older buildings and gardens, but also don't want to forgo the benefits of city living. Everything is possible in this property. Here, body, mind, and soul can find peace, and both people and animals will feel at home. An oasis in the heart of the city! As soon as you enter the beautiful courtyard, you'll feel like you're on vacation. The whitewashed facade with mullioned 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 ceilings. In total, the house has 6 rooms, two on the ground floor and four on the upper floor. On the ground floor, you enter through the large kitchen, which leads to the bright living room with two large, floor-to-ceiling French doors opening onto the terrace and the natural garden. Alternatively, you can go left into the guest/office area, which has a separate guest bathroom and a small kitchenette. You reach the upper level via a beautiful wooden staircase. To the left, you'll find a large attic room with skylights and windows. To the right, a spacious open area leads to the bedroom, which has an adjoining en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. From the bedroom, you can look down into the garden, which features mature trees, organic herb gardens, flowering shrubs, and bamboo. In the center of the garden is a large brick garden house (approximately 40 square meters), currently used as a shed and stable, and suitable 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 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 upper floor (radiators). During the bathroom and kitchen renovations in 2022-2023, the water and electrical wiring were also replaced, including a dedicated circuit to the garden house and sauna, as well as preparation for a wallbox charging option in the courtyard. A rare find 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 like cats or chickens in the garden, it is easily possible. Squirrels, songbirds, and hedgehogs are also present due to the large green space.
