"Still paying rent? You can, but you don't have to. – 1,010 m² in Mahlsdorf."

Be honest: How much rent have you paid in the last ten years? And how many square meters of land do you actually own? Exactly. Maybe it's time to change that. At Rahnsdorfer Straße 38, a detached house awaits new owners, situated on approximately 1,010 square meters of private land. And before anyone automatically pictures a hard hat, pneumatic hammer, and three years of construction work when they see "built in 1938":

No. You don't have to renovate here before you can move in. A fresh coat of paint and some new furniture – and you can start living there right away. The house will be available from November 1, 2026. So, if you're quick, you could be thinking about where to put your own Christmas tree this Christmas – instead of paying rent to your landlord. Why not finally buy your own home before retirement? Or at 35. Or 45. Or with children, parents, a dog, and the desire for more space. The house has two full floors, a basement, and an attic. If you like the existing character, you can move in and gradually make changes over time. Those who desire modern windows, new technology, a designer bathroom, and a contemporary living style can certainly make significant improvements. But you decide when – and how much. And then there's the 1,010 m² of land...

Because the land makes all the difference. Garden? Of course. Terrace, pool, workshop, vegetable beds, playing children or grandchildren? There's plenty of space. Or perhaps you're thinking even bigger:
A house today. Maybe two tomorrow. Currently, a preliminary building application is being reviewed to assess the possibility of additional residential development in the rear of the property. What could this become? Two generations – two houses – one property? The children in the back, the parents in the front? Or vice versa – depending on who cooks better. Perhaps additional living space for rent? Or simply keeping the option open for the future? An illustrative diagram shows what such a use of the land could look like. A positive decision from the authorities is not yet available. Therefore, the additional development is neither approved nor guaranteed. At a glance:
• Approximately... 1,010 m² plot of land
• Detached house, built in 1938
• Ready to move in immediately
• Available from November 1st, 2026
• Two full floors
• Basement and attic
• Two garages / parking spaces
• Large garden
• Modernization possible according to your own preferences
• Preliminary building inquiry for potential residential development at the rear is underway.

Christmas 2026 back in your own apartment? It's possible. But you don't have to. If you're quick, you could be putting the Christmas goose in the oven in your own house in Berlin-Mahlsdorf this year. And while others are still saving property listings, you can already start thinking about what you can do with 1,010 m² of your own land. Just come and see it. The size and potential of this property are better understood in person than in any photograph.

Berlin-Mahlsdorf is one of those places where you might briefly wonder: "Am I still in Berlin – or already in weekend mode?" And that's precisely what makes this location so appealing. Rahnsdorfer Straße is located in a well-established residential area characterized by single-family homes, gardens, mature trees, and a pleasantly spacious environment. Here, you don't live amongst concrete, hustle and bustle, and parking struggles, but rather in a neighborhood where you can still hear birds in the morning and truly enjoy your garden in the evening. Yet, Berlin remains Berlin – just with more green spaces, more tranquility, and significantly less urban stress right outside your door. Mahlsdorf is one of the most desirable residential areas in eastern Berlin and is particularly popular with people who are looking for space, privacy, and a family-friendly environment, without wanting to leave the capital. The district combines a well-established residential structure with good accessibility and a pleasant mix of urban proximity and a nearly village-like character. It is precisely this combination that makes Mahlsdorf so attractive: you live quietly, but not isolated. Shopping facilities, schools, nurseries, doctors, and everyday amenities are located nearby and are easily accessible depending on your needs. Thanks to the existing transport links and public transport, you are well-connected to both the surrounding districts and the Berlin city center. At the same time, attractive recreational areas, including Kaulsdorf, Köpenick, the Dammheide, and the green areas on the eastern edge of Berlin, are close by. What makes Mahlsdorf particularly appealing is its atmosphere: it's not a newly built, artificially planned district, but a historically developed area with character. Here, the streets, properties, and gardens still tell a story. So, if you're looking for a home that doesn't resemble an anonymous housing complex, but rather a genuine Berlin residential area, you'll find a location with a lot of charm here. In short: Mahlsdorf offers what many people in Berlin are looking for and increasingly rarely find – peace, green spaces, gardens, a sense of community, and yet proximity to the city. It's an ideal place for families, gardening enthusiasts, lovers of older buildings, and anyone who says, "I want Berlin, but please with some space to breathe."
