Detached single-family house with a potential separate apartment (viewing recommended, please contact us, we look forward to hearing from you).

Commission-free, no agent fees, seize the opportunity before interest rates rise further! Don't hesitate to contact us, even about the property itself! Pictures and words can only approximate the charm of this house; it needs to be seen in person. A small paradise for children, also well-suited as a multigenerational home. This detached house (240 sqm) includes an additional, currently rented apartment of 70 sqm on the 1st floor (separate access via an external staircase, no access to the garden or basement), generating a rental income of €500 per month (excluding utilities). See the 6 unlabeled pictures of the apartment on the 1st floor. Alternatively, it can be used for multigenerational living, and the 1st floor could also be used as office space. This older building, which is fully basement, dates back to 1963 and has been completely modernized inside. The newer extension, adjacent to the courtyard, was built in 1998. In 2024, a high-efficiency oil-fired heating system was installed. To answer potential questions: the high-efficiency heating system is compatible with a heat pump. A heat pump can be integrated into the system. In addition to the double garage, there is a 20,000-liter, double-walled, covered, and lockable heating oil tank, which is also located in a containment basin. (Included in building insurance)
The spacious living room with a conservatory can be heated by a wood-burning stove that was renewed in 2024. The energy performance certificate was created using the basic values of the existing building. According to the creator of the certificate, a combined calculation including the newer part of the building was not easily possible. The nearly new high-efficiency heating system is located in the basement of the original building. As part of the heating system upgrade, new radiators were installed, and the old window recesses were insulated and closed. In the garden, there are two underground rainwater tanks with capacities of 1500L and 7000L. These are used for garden irrigation and, optionally, for supplying water to the washing machine and a toilet. A new operating permit from the local water authority, valid until 2046, was also obtained this week. In 2017, high-quality oak parquet flooring was installed throughout the front living area, and new, high-quality interior doors were installed.
The spacious garden is easy to maintain and can be accessed separately via a roller gate, or it can be accessed by vehicles with trailers for garden waste or firewood. See below. In 2023, all 5 roof windows were completely replaced. In 2024, a 1kW solar system was installed to cover the base load. Fiber optic connection available.
