Architect's house B-Lichterfelde, open floor plan, bright, prov. vacant

The property
The property is a 2-storey semi-detached house with a converted basement, which was built by an architect for his own use.

The different floor plans of both houses give the impression of two independent buildings, of which the one on offer stands on a corner plot with 2 street entrances. The entire house has an open, airy floor plan that lets in plenty of light.

The ground floor
In the entrance area of the ground floor there is a guest WC with a window. Behind this, you enter the spacious, bright, sun-drenched living and dining area.

The approx. 5 m high window wall extends across the entire width of the dining area and provides a view and direct access to the terrace and the sheltered inner garden. An electric roller shutter provides sun protection.

The kitchen,
with a view of the front garden and street, was completely renovated a few years ago. It was fitted with a new, bright fitted kitchen with modern appliances, including a dishwasher. It would also be conceivable to open up the kitchen to the living and dining area with an additional kitchen island.

Behind the living area, a small corridor leads to the bathroom with bathtub, which is functional but would benefit from modernization (depending on taste).

The bedroom behind it
was completely renovated in 2016. It offers direct access to the terrace/garden via a double patio door.

Thanks to the sheltered location of the inner garden, you can also leave it open at night and wake up to the sound of birdsong.

The entire ground floor is barrier-free.

The bright, open-plan upper floor,
with approx. 4.50m high ceilings, is currently furnished as an office floor. It was used as a bedroom by the previous owners. However, it could also be used as an indoor playground for children, etc.
There is also a wraparound gallery and 2 additional rooms for guests or children.

The converted basement
has an anteroom with a large fridge-freezer and shelves as well as an oil tank room with a window.

Next to it is a room of approx. 20 sqm for storage or hobby room, with a window to the garden. From here you enter the combined boiler room/laundry room, with 2 washing machines, sink and window to the street.

The heating system (oil) was modernized a few years ago and is in good, regularly maintained condition.

Outside:
The terrace and inner garden are accessible from the living/dining area and also from the bedroom. Due to the arrangement of the building sections and garage, the inner garden is sheltered and cannot be seen or entered from outside, so that the doors can be left open in summer. Here you can barbecue in peace - shielded from the street - or simply relax.

There is also a natural, evergreen privacy screen to the two (very nice) neighbors, including raised beds.

The garden is low-maintenance, but still offers plenty of potential for gardening enthusiasts. It blooms differently depending on the season. It starts with a large magnolia, which heralds the arrival of spring with its beautiful flowers.

The corner plot has a wrap-around front garden from the street entrance to the garage entrance. On the garage side - in front of the actual property - there is an additional green area of approx. 200 sqm, which is fenced in with a natural hedge and shields the entire property from the street.

A garage and carport are available for parking, as well as 2-3 outside parking spaces (in the private driveway), so that guests can also park stress-free.

The house is located in the green part of Lichterfelde (Steglitz-Zehlendorf), close to the district border to Marienfelde in a side street of Hildburghauser Str..

Bakery, pharmacy, doctors, groceries, restaurants, post office, school, kindergarten, etc. are within walking distance. To Aldi and Lidl approx. 5 minutes by car.

Only 150m away is the entrance to Lilienthalpark, which stretches for approx. 2km from the Marienkrankenhaus hospital to the Lilienthaldenkmal monument. It is mainly used by local residents for jogging and long walks.

The bus lines are just a 3-minute walk away and take you to three S/U or regional train stations (e.g. Lichterfelde-Ost or Schloßstr.) or to Dahlem. From the regional train station Lichterfelde it takes 16 minutes to the main train station.

The Berlin Wall Trail, on which you can go on extensive bike tours, is about 5 minutes away by bike. By car, you can be in the Berlin area or on the A10 in just a few minutes.
