Charming, well-maintained apartment in a historic building with a southwest-facing balcony (no agency fees).

LIGHT AS A CENTRAL ELEMENT
Sunlight is the central element in this apartment. Throughout the day, the sun moves through the various rooms. In the morning, it shines into the bedroom, the billiards room, the living room, and the shower room; later, it reaches the kitchen, the bathroom with a bathtub, the dining room, and the children's room. The open floor plan creates beautiful sightlines and bright, airy spaces. The special highlights of the apartment include the room currently used as a billiards room, with exposed brick and wooden beams; the bright bay window; the suspended ceiling with indirect LED lighting in the living room; and the expansive view of the greenery towards the Ruhr River and Essen-Burgaltendorf.

RENOVATI­ON 2017
During the extensive renovation carried out by a professional company at the end of 2017, all the floors were renewed or refurbished with parquet flooring or high-quality tiles, and the walls were replastered. The spacious kitchen, also from the same year, offers plenty of workspace and storage. With its phenomenal view, it also has a strong appeal as a living space. This makes preparing coffee in the morning and cooking in the evening a particularly enjoyable experience. The apartment features two separate bathrooms. One is equipped with a spacious, floor-to-ceiling shower, including an additional rain showerhead, while the other has a trapezoidal double bathtub.
BALCONY AS ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE
The balcony is located on the quiet back of the building and faces south/southwest. We often used it as an additional living space, thanks to the use of outdoor rugs and cushions.
LOCATION
The apartment's location offers the perfect combination of urban living and a green oasis. For example, you can quickly reach the shopping street in Linden, while the apartment also offers views of the greenery on the other side. The tram to Bochum Central Station stops almost right outside the door, and the S-Bahn (suburban train) between the neighboring town of Hattingen and Essen Central Station is only a 10-minute walk away. The Ruhr River is also accessible within 10 minutes on foot via various routes.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The apartment includes two storage rooms in the basement and a garage. Stable gigabit internet is available at all times. The gas heating system is located in the basement and is used exclusively for this floor, i.e., for the buyer. The water is heated electrically. ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE
While the energy performance certificate indicates a "C" rating for the entire house, as a centrally located apartment, we only consumed approximately 11,500 kWh of gas per year, even with a target temperature of 21/22 degrees Celsius. This is thanks to the intelligent heating control system, which only activates the heating when the target temperature is not reached. The thermostats on the radiators do not need to be adjusted.

TWO APARTMENTS COMBINED INTO ONE
A unique feature of this property is its history: legally, the current apartment consists of two separate ownership units (47 and 87 square meters) that we physically connected. Both apartment entrances are still present. This allows for the possibility of physically separating the property back into two separate units in the future.
