Art nouveau villa in Marienthal

First things first:

The house is a dream, but there is a renovation backlog and there are a few things that need to be done promptly. The priority is to renovate the roof (in conjunction with an already approved extension to the attic apartments) and replace the heating system (currently gas). Further energy refurbishment (insulation) is optional.

If you are not afraid of the "refurbishment" challenge and have read this far, I will be happy to introduce you to your potential new home:

1. access to the house
Access to the house is via a small front garden where the two car ports are also located. The wooden staircase (carpeted) takes you to the different levels (mezzanine, upper floor and attic). There are two small rooms on the mezzanine floors, one of which was also used as a mini-guest room in the past.

2. the Beletage
But let us first enter the showpiece of the house, the apartment on the mezzanine floor. In addition to its location right next to the Wandsbeker Gehölz, it was the reason why we chose this particular house and we look back fondly on the six years we spent here as a family. The apartment can justifiably be described as flooded with light and luxuriously furnished. There is really nothing to do in the apartment itself. To name just a few of the features:

- Parquet flooring in the living rooms
- Granite floors in the two guest WCs (each equipped with a shower)
- Separate en-suite bathroom with shower and bathtub in the "master" bedroom
- Two (!) walk-in closets
- Conservatory with a view of the spacious garden
- Sliding hamburger doors open up the rooms and create a sublime feeling of living
..........

This is not an exhaustive list of the apartment itself. The garden (which is for your exclusive use) is also very special. On the huge plot, which is partly overgrown with old apple trees, you can enjoy yourself to your heart's content. And if necessary, you can walk through the garden gate at the back directly into the "Wandsbeker Gehölz" recreation area.

3. the upper floor
There are two rented apartments on the upper floor. Both apartments are in a well-kept condition, the tenants are reliable and pleasant. The floor plans (as well as for the other floors) can be found in the annexes.

4. the top floor
On the one hand, the attic is the problem child due to the condition of the roof, as renovation is necessary. However, this gives you the opportunity to design the future layout of the two currently vacant apartments exactly according to your wishes and ideas. This is because planning permission has already been granted to extend the apartments by two dormer windows. This will not only add a few square meters of living space to the top floor, but the cosy pitched roofs and the unobstructed view of the greenery will also offer something special. Decide for yourself whether you want to rent out the attic after the renovation or use it as a studio, children's room, teenager's room or study.

5. the cellar
The house has a full basement and each apartment has a cellar room. There is also a washing and drying cellar equipped with coin-operated washing machines and sufficient additional storage space.

6. the garden apartment
Last but not least is the garden apartment, which is located on the same level as the basement in the souterrain. It has a separate entrance and is also rented out.

The tour ends here. However, you are welcome to form your own impression and arrange an individual viewing appointment!

Even those born in or native to Hamburg may not be so familiar with the Marienthal district. Its somewhat hidden location between the districts of Horn and Wandsbek contributes to the fact that this neighborhood is still somewhat "under the radar". But once you get to know it, you won't want to miss the perfect combination of a villa district close to nature and the proximity to urban life and all the facilities and stores for daily needs.

Without noticing any of this in your apartment, you are just a few minutes' walk from the Wandsbek Markt transport hub with its wide range of shopping facilities. You can reach the Horner Rampe and the highway just as quickly by car.
