+++ THE CITY UNICORN: ENERGY E + ROOF RENOVATED + CURRENTLY €0 SPECIAL ASSESSMENT +++

When buying an apartment from the 1960s, it's important to look beyond just the photos and focus on the building itself. Here, the energy performance certificate shows 154 kWh/(m²·a) and an energy class of E – a remarkably good value for a building constructed in 1961. In addition, there are solid exterior walls and, on two sides of the facade, approximately 15 cm of added exterior insulation. And most importantly: you are not buying a typical 1960s property where the roof, facade, insulation, and building systems were neglected for decades. It's important to understand that the apartment is part of the shared property owners' association (WEG) located at Gartenstraße 30/32 and Kriegsstraße 63/65. Therefore, major improvements were carried out in both building sections within the same WEG, and were financed jointly, depending on the decisions made. The roof renovation at Gartenstraße 30/32 alone was approved for approximately €130,000 and was documented as completed in 2018. In 2023, within the same WEG, the heating system at Kriegsstraße 63/65 was also renewed for approximately €65,485. Previous owners have already made significant investments. The complete history is available under "Other / WEG". +++ 83.68 m² – AND NOT A SINGLE "UTILITY" ROOM +++
21.76 m² + 17.44 m² + 14.53 m²: Three fully functional rooms, all separately accessible from the hallway. No pass-through rooms. No tiny "third room." In addition, there's a 9.42 m² separate kitchen/dining area, a bright bathroom with a bathtub, and a roughly 8.69 m² hallway with space for a wardrobe, shoes, and storage. There's also a 1.56 m² storage/utility room with a clothes dryer, which is included in the sale. A private cellar, number 4, is also included. The apartment extends through the depth of the building; windows on both sides allow for cross-ventilation. +++ SUCCESSFULLY RENTED AS A SHARED APARTMENT FOR YEARS +++
The suitability for shared living has been proven in practice: When re-renting, the demand was consistently so high that potential tenants practically lined up, and tenants and their successors often knew each other. The layout explains why: 3 large private rooms + a separate communal kitchen + 2 balconies + a bright bathroom + storage space. The IKEA kitchen, including the washing machine and 2 freestanding refrigerator/freezer combinations, remains. The dryer also stays. No valuable bedroom needs to be sacrificed as a communal living room. Attractive for families: One room for the child, with the other two rooms potentially rentable separately. Later, the layout also works well for couples, small families, or a home office. +++ 1st FLOOR: ONE LEVEL UP – WITHOUT ELEVATOR COSTS +++
Not on the ground floor directly next to the sidewalk, but also no daily climb to upper floors. No elevator also means no ongoing elevator costs and no future repair or modernization issues. +++ 7-POINT CHECK +++
✓ 3 large, separate rooms
✓ 9.42 m² kitchen/dining area
✓ 2 covered balconies
✓ Bathroom with natural light
✓ 1st floor without elevator costs
✓ Kitchen + washing machine + 2 refrigerators/freezers + dryer included
✓ Garage with separate title deed available as an option
Newly painted, available directly from the owner: move in immediately or rent it out again. 0% buyer commission. For example, with a purchase price of €349,000, 3.57% would typically amount to around €12,459 in ancillary purchase costs, which do not apply here. Garage (separate title deed) available as an option: €20,000.

+++ CITY LIVING – BUT NOT STUCK IN THE CITY CENTER +++
One of the biggest advantages of Gartenstraße 32 is its location: it offers easy access to the city center, universities, cycling routes, public transport, and car access, all at the same time. The apartment is located in the Südweststadt district, right next to the city center and the Weststadt district. Shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities are within easy reach; several public transport stops are conveniently accessible on foot. The Karlsruhe main train station is approximately 1.6–2 km away. For commuters, this means: use public transport – or simply hop on your bike. +++ UNIVERSITIES WITHIN CYCLING DISTANCE +++
• ZKM / Lorenzstraße: approximately 1 km
• Hochschule Karlsruhe / Moltkestraße: approximately 2 km
• Pädagogische Hochschule / Bismarckstraße: approximately 2 km
• KIT Campus Süd / Kaiserstraße: approximately 2 km
• DHBW / Erzbergerstraße: approximately 3 km
• Main Train Station: approximately 1.6–2 km
Three large rooms with separate access + several universities nearby + existing shared accommodation facilities: This is precisely why the apartment is ideal for students, young professionals, and families – without being limited to these target groups later on. +++ DIRECT ACCESS TO THE CITY CENTER VIA THE HISTORICAL HIRSCHBRÜCKE +++
The historical green Hirschbrücke bridge is practically right outside the front door. Since 1891, it has connected the southwestern district and the city center; its historical iron elements and decorations evoke the Parisian Pont Neuf. For everyday life: take your bike and head directly towards the city center and universities. +++ CITY SIDE. GREEN SIDE. +++
The kitchen balcony doesn's overlook a narrow courtyard in the city center. Between Gartenstraße and Kriegsstraße lies the large courtyard of the complex. Approximately 30 meters of distance to the opposite building facade create light, air, trees, and space. +++ CITY IN – KARLSRUHE OUT +++
The location is also unusually convenient for drivers. Kriegsstraße has been fundamentally redesigned as part of the multi-billion euro Karlsruhe Combined Solution: above, it's a city boulevard, while the Karoline-Luise Tunnel carries a significant portion of east-west traffic underground. Via Kriegsstraße/Brauerstraße, you can quickly reach the major traffic arteries of Karlsruhe and, heading south, the Südtangente (southern tangent). This is the difference from many central city locations: you can be in the heart of the city on foot or by bike, but you can still quickly leave Karlsruhe by car. And, optionally, a private garage (with its own land registry entry) is available directly at the property. Whether you choose to walk, cycle, use public transport, or drive, you don't have to choose just one mode of transportation here.
