Solid foundation for the future - a family home ready for renovation.

SOLID FOUNDATION FOR NEW BEGINNINGS – HOUSE FOR RENOVATION

IN A NUTSHELL:
Solid terraced house, previously owned by a family, with a well-thought-out layout, surprisingly spacious interiors, and a lovely garden – located in a particularly quiet and traffic-calm residential area, with a 30 km/h speed limit and a private access road to the house. The spacious living/dining area, three rooms on the upper floor, and a versatile basement offer plenty of space for a family. In addition, there is an attic with further potential, a garden approximately 17 meters deep with a terrace and a separate access from the rear, a front garden approximately 7 meters deep, as well as a garage and parking space. PRIVATE SALE – NO REAL ESTATE AGENT – NO BUYER'S COMMISSION. The house is functional but requires a modern renovation – a solid foundation for a home tailored to your own preferences. This terraced house, built in 1984, has been our family home for many years. We have enjoyed living here and have many fond memories of the house. As part of an inheritance, we would now like to pass it on to a new owner. This solidly built house offers a well-thought-out layout, designed for family living, and provides a surprisingly spacious feel for a terraced house.

Ground Floor:
The generous living and dining area forms the heart of the house and leads directly to the terrace and garden. The separate kitchen also offers space for a small dining area. A daylight guest toilet and a spacious hallway with a coat closet complete the floor.

First Floor:
This floor features three well-proportioned rooms, which can be flexibly used as bedrooms, children's rooms, a home office, or guest rooms, as well as a spacious daylight bathroom.

Basement:
The basement offers significantly more than just storage space. With a ceiling height of approximately 2.28 meters, it feels pleasantly spacious. In addition to a larger room that has been finished for living space, there is another spacious room available, which can be used, for example, as a hobby room, studio, or workshop. There is also a separate room for the heating system and utilities. The basement therefore provides valuable additional space for hobbies, work, storage, and family life.

Attic:
The currently undeveloped attic offers additional usable space and further potential. It is accessible via a folding staircase; an opening in the ceiling is already in place for a potential future staircase. An extension is conceivable, subject to the necessary structural and regulatory requirements.

Garden and Outdoor Area:
The approximately 17-meter deep garden, with a terrace and a small garden shed, offers plenty of space for relaxation, play, and gardening. Due to its west-northwest orientation, the terrace and garden benefit from pleasant light, especially in the afternoon and evening, and from evening sun, depending on the season. A separate access to the rear garden, with a garden gate, is particularly convenient. This means that bicycles and garden equipment do not need to be transported through the house. The approximately 7-meter deep front garden also provides a pleasant sense of space at the front of the property. The property also includes a garage and an additional parking space.

Solid Foundation for Your Ideas:
The house is in a solid and functional condition, but in many areas, it still reflects the standards of its original construction period. Therefore, a modernization to bring it up to contemporary standards is to be considered. The solid construction, proven layout, additional space, and pleasant outdoor area provide a good foundation for further developing the house according to your own preferences. We would be delighted if our long-time family home could once again become a place where a new family can feel comfortable. A house with history – and a solid foundation for the future.

QUIET LIVING – WELL-CONNECTED
The house is located in Essen-Gerschede, a green and established residential area in the northwest of Essen, characterized by single-family homes and smaller multi-family buildings, and a pleasant neighborhood. A particularly attractive feature is the quiet and low-traffic environment. The surrounding residential street is already within a 30 km/h speed limit zone. A private access road or private cul-de-sac leads from this street to the house, meaning there is no typical through traffic directly in front of the property. The driveway, with a small green area, further enhances the sense of seclusion and security. Despite its quiet location, public transportation and everyday amenities are easily accessible. A bus/train stop is located approximately 200 meters away and can be reached on foot in just a few minutes. The nearest S-Bahn (suburban train) station is about 500 meters away and offers good connections to the city center of Essen and other destinations in the Ruhr area. A bakery and shops for daily necessities are located approximately 600 meters away. Essen-Borbeck, with further shopping options, restaurants, doctors, and services, is about 1.8 km away. Kindergartens and primary schools are within walking distance of the neighborhood; several secondary schools are also located in the easily accessible surrounding area. The city center of Essen is approximately 7 km away, while the Westfield Centro in Oberhausen is about 5.5 km away. The nearest highway exit is about 2.7 km away. The location offers a combination of two desirable features that complement each other well in everyday life: peaceful, family-friendly living without through traffic directly in front of the house, combined with short distances to local amenities, schools, public transportation, and the surrounding city centers.
