Free new-build penthouse apartment in a unique backyard location in Uhlenhorst

This exceptional apartment impresses with its optimal floor plan and light-flooded rooms, which create a bright and friendly atmosphere thanks to a total of 12 windows. The quiet backyard location gives the apartment a unique charm. Mornings here start like a vacation: the gentle chirping of birds, the sun-drenched rooms and the tranquillity of the backyard create a relaxing and soothing environment.
The heart of the apartment is the open-plan kitchen/living room, which is ideal for social evenings with friends. From here, you can access the spacious balcony via large patio doors. The living room is directly connected to the study, bedroom and bathroom.
The apartment itself was built to the highest standards of quality and sustainability. The triple-glazed windows with wooden frames ensure a pleasant indoor climate, while the floor was laid with elegant solid oak floorboards. The kitchen was also fitted with high-quality equipment: The ceramic hob, oven and dishwasher are from Bosch. Another highlight is the fireplace in the spacious living room, which ensures cozy hours, especially in the cold season.
The property belongs to a condominium owners' association (WEG) with a total of 18 units. The historic building from 1890 has been extensively modernized: in 2019, the rear building received a new gas central heating system, in 2021 the gable ends of the rear building were fitted with a thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) and the façade was renovated. In 2022, the roof was completely renovated and extended. This means that the attic apartment itself corresponds to a new build from 2022. The balconies on the rear building were also rebuilt in 2021.
The upcoming renovation of the stairwell was already decided at the last condominium owners' meeting and is to be carried out this year. The balconies on the front building will be built at the same time. Once this work has been completed, the design of the rear courtyard will be tackled, including the creation of new paths and planting. The corresponding implementation plan has already been discussed and an offer has been obtained; the contract is to be awarded at the 2024 condominium meeting.
With the completion of the stairwell and the redesign of the rear courtyard, the apartment will be practically as good as new - a very good energy-efficiently renovated old building with the comfort of a new building. As part of the stairwell refurbishment, the last remaining single-glazed windows will be replaced, which will further improve the energy efficiency of the entire complex. This could even enable the building to be upgraded to energy efficiency class "D".
Following the extensive investments of recent years, no further work is planned or required on the building. The maintenance reserves can now be built up again, allowing you to invest in a fully modernized and future-proof property.

The outstanding feature of this apartment is undoubtedly its quiet backyard location. Although you won't notice any noise pollution from Herderstrasse, you will still be right in the middle of the action if you wish. Gertigstraße and Mühlenkamp are only about 600 meters away and offer numerous shopping opportunities, cafés and restaurants. You can also reach the Alster lake in just a few minutes on foot, where you can enjoy relaxing walks or sporting activities. This location combines the best of both worlds: Peace and privacy as well as proximity to vibrant city life.
