Two-family house in need of renovation in Pforzheim

The two-family house, built in 1902 and currently for sale, is situated on a hillside at Büchenbronner Straße 71, close to the center of Pforzheim. The two residential units occupy two full floors. In addition, there is a basement and an attic. Currently, both units are rented out. The condition of the house can be described as requiring extensive renovation. In addition to comprehensive renovation work, further modernization measures (such as replacing the windows, renewing the roof insulation, etc.) will also be necessary. The attic can still be converted into living space. The ceiling height is high enough to stand upright comfortably, with additional space to the ceiling. The house is built on very solid foundations made of red sandstone. In some areas of the basement, the basement walls are damp. The most likely cause is the sandstone, which generally has a high level of ground moisture. On the south side of the building, there is an extension that was added later. The original building is protected from the sloping ground by a massive wall. The wall is already showing slight bulges due to the pressure, so it may need to be reinforced in a few years. The property is 722 square meters in size and is located on a slope, meaning that parking spaces at the lower end would not be possible due to the road. For this reason, the current property owners have been granted a permit to park on public land on the adjacent property. An annual fee of 132 euros must be paid to the city for this permit. Important: The permit becomes invalid if the property is sold. If the buyer wishes to continue using the permit, discussions must be held with the city by the buyer.
