Historic jewel with modern living comfort
We hereby present you with an exceptional offer - a completely renovated, listed semi-detached house from the early 18th century that impressively combines the charm of the past with modern living comfort. The historic building was converted into an exclusive family home with great attention to detail and a clear focus on sustainability and living comfort.
Modernization and features
The conversion of the building was based on a high standard of contemporary living. Special highlights include:
- Energy efficiency: The installation of an air heat pump and underfloor heating in combination with new, triple-glazed windows ensures an excellent living climate and efficient use of energy.
- Natural materials: The interior design focused on the use of reclaimed wood and natural materials, which give the building an authentic atmosphere. The reclaimed wood, which is over 350 years old, was extremely carefully and intensively reprocessed in order to use it again in the house and thus preserve its historical charm.
- Innovative building technology: The entire building technology is controlled via a modern, touch-panel-controlled system.
New, smaller radiators replace the old ones to create more space.
Seamless natural cast floors in all wet rooms and fine oak floors in the living areas create a harmonious and high-quality ambience.
Floor plan and room layout
Garden level
The garden level impresses with its spacious garage, which offers space for two to three vehicles and is connected to the first floor via a modern exposed concrete staircase. Here you will also find a vaulted wine cellar, a large hobby room with garden access and a further cellar room.
Ground floor
The first floor impresses with its open floor plan, which harmoniously enhances the former, small-scale timber-framed building concept with an airy oak staircase and seamless terrazzo flooring. The living area is very spacious and offers plenty of room. The dining/cooking area is also spacious and impresses with an open stainless steel kitchen as well as an adjoining cooking/reduit, which includes a separate, fully equipped kitchen. A guest WC, a checkroom as well as a laundry room and storage rooms complete this floor.
Upper floor
On the upper floor you will find a gallery, three rooms, a bathroom with bathtub and walk-in shower as well as a separate WC. The flooring here changes to elegant oak country house floorboards, and the wet room also impresses with its high-quality and seamless natural cast flooring. The east-facing room also has two storage rooms with natural light.
Top floor
The top floor impresses with its impressive room height of four meters and a light-flooded lounge with a stylish, wood-burning fireplace - the perfect place to relax. The spacious master bedroom offers comfort with an elegant 13 m² private wet room, equipped with a walk-in shower, two windows, an integrated bench and bespoke built-in wardrobes. This luxurious area is complemented by a dressing room and a practical vanity unit. There is also a guest WC with a small storage room on this floor.
Exterior
The 1624 m² plot impresses with a park-like garden, which enchants with mature trees, two outdoor seating areas and high-quality paving. A large lime tree provides shade and privacy in the eastern part of the garden, while the existing planting has been supplemented in collaboration with a landscape designer - a truly exceptional retreat - a perfect fusion of history, elegance and modern living.
Development potential
In the long term, there is the possibility of a structural extension in the residential and commercial zone WG4. A future abolition of the groundwater protection zone, probably in around ten years' time, would make it possible to build on an area of 636 m². An existing feasibility study shows a potential area of approx. 413.4 m², based on the current utilization rate of 0.65 for the WG4 zone. This development scenario opens up attractive prospects for future use or investment.
Conclusion
This unique detached house, which was converted by Daluz Gonzalez Architekten, represents a harmonious combination of historical substance and state-of-the-art living comfort. The skillful integration of traditional and modern elements creates an exceptional feel-good atmosphere that both preserves the charm of the old house and meets the demands of contemporary living. An ideal home for those who love the historic charm of a turn-of-the-century property, but at the same time do not want to do without the comfort and facilities of a modern home. This offer is rounded off by exciting development potential: a future structural extension in the residential and commercial zone WG4 with a possible expansion of approx. 413.4 m² - based on a feasibility study - opens up attractive prospects for long-term use or investment.
