Country house in the city and yet surrounded by greenery

A spacious country house built by the Bad Berka master builder Max Linke in 1918 is for sale. Among other things, he also designed parts of the town hall and the former spa hotel. The property is therefore classified by the town as a building worthy of preservation (not a monument).
The house includes a garden pavilion and a double garage. The house, built in the Art Deco period, stands on a plot of 1163 m2. The directly adjacent garage plot covers a further 49 m2.
The house, which has a full basement and 225 m2 of living space, has two full floors, each with a room height of over 3 meters, as well as a partially converted attic.
The house has been completely renovated in the last 10 years. All the windows were replaced with modern double-glazed insulated wooden windows. Care was taken to ensure that the appearance of the former box-type windows was maintained. The electrics were completely reinstalled (except in the basement). In 2017, a modern gas condensing boiler was installed and all heating pipes and radiators were replaced. A wood-burning stove was also installed in 2022. The outer shell is fully insulated (roof 14 cm mineral wool, walls 6 cm Multipor). The high-quality floorboards have been lovingly refurbished. Light switches, door handles and skirting boards have been selected with great attention to detail or made in-house. The real wood panel doors have been extensively restored. New front doors were also installed in accordance with the originals and to current standards. The spacious bathroom is adorned with a free-standing bathtub. The large terraced garden with its old fruit trees invites you to linger and relax.
The property could be divided into two self-contained apartments if required.

The country house is in a quiet location on the outskirts of the spa town of Bad Berka, which has a population of around 7600 and is just a 10-minute walk from the town center. The town is located in the 150 km2 nature reserve "Mittleres Ilmtal", in the hills of the Ilm-Saale-Platte and is about 12 km south of the classical city of Weimar, about 24 km southeast of the state capital Erfurt and 35 km southwest of the university town of Jena.
As a basic center, Bad Berka has almost all the infrastructure needed for everyday life, such as kindergartens, schools, shopping facilities, doctors, clinics, pharmacies and restaurants. Weimar and Erfurt as well as the surrounding towns such as Kranichfeld and Blankenhain are easily accessible by public transport.
