Two-family house with a wide view and a large garden.

This semi-detached house, situated on a quiet hillside in Essenheim, combines two things that are rarely found together: ample space for a family and a completely self-contained second living unit. The house faces east, opening onto the garden and offering views of the Rhineland-Palatinate landscape. Living space is spread across two levels:

From the street, you are greeted by a covered entrance area next to the approximately 53 m2 double garage – providing space for two vehicles, bicycles, a workbench, and gardening equipment. From here, the house appears to be single-story. However, on the garden side, the hillside location reveals its quality: the ground floor is fully lit and leads directly to the terrace at ground level. Ground floor:
The kitchen with a dining area and the adjacent living room form the heart of the main living unit. Adjacent to these are a patio, a spacious hallway, the master bedroom, a children's room, and a daylight bathroom with a bathtub. The flooring: Jura marble in the hallway and entrance area, solid wood parquet in the bedrooms, and tiles in the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Lower Level:
Via the staircase, you reach a very spacious second living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen (45 m2), offering views of and access to the garden. There is also another bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. Direct access to the terrace, as well as a separate entrance door, make this level particularly flexible: it can be used as a retreat for growing children, as a home office, or as a guest area. Unit 2:
The separate unit, with approximately 73 m2, features a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and its own terrace. It can be used by the owner themselves, or it can be rented out – to family members, as part of a multi-generational living arrangement, or as a source of rental income to help finance the property. Garden and Outdoor Areas:
The garden is the heart of the 802 m2 property. Two olive trees and a mulberry tree give it an almost Mediterranean feel – they thrive here thanks to the mild climate of the Rhine-Hesse region. A play tower with a slide makes the garden a paradise for children, a greenhouse invites you to grow your own plants, and a fire pit provides a perfect setting for enjoying summer evenings together. The eastward orientation ensures morning sunshine during breakfast and pleasantly cool afternoons in the shade. Two terraces, a seating area near the dining area, and a balcony offer outdoor space on each level. The view extends over the rooftops of the town and into the vineyards.

Location and Surroundings:

The property is situated on the eastern edge of the village, in a quiet residential area, offering unobstructed views of the village and the vineyards. Despite its peaceful location, it is still within walking distance of all essential amenities.
