Bright, cozy attic apartment, first occupancy after energy-efficient renovation to A+ house

This solid house, built in 1966 and extended in 2014-2017 with an attic conversion, was purchased by us at the end of 2021 and has since been completely renovated and converted to make it more energy efficient. The interior work should finally be completed around March 2025. We originally wanted to move in ourselves, but ended up in another city for work reasons.

The house is now divided into three self-contained apartments, one on each floor, and all three are due to be rented out for the first time in spring 2025 after the renovation.

The refurbishment was carried out very elaborately, carefully and to the highest quality standards with an architect from Sigmaringen and tradesmen from Sigmaringen and the immediate vicinity. The improvements include
- Complete external insulation with temporary removal of the soil on the slope side, so that thick insulation could be applied on all sides down to the floor slab.
- New roof with new over-rafter insulation
- Demolition of balcony (would have been thermal bridge), addition of new conservatories for basement and ground floor
- New flowing screed for the basement and ground floor with
- New underfloor heating for basement and ground floor in all rooms
- Largely new high-quality kitchen in DG
- Completely new triple-glazed windows, except for the previously installed, remote-controlled Velux roof windows in the attic
- New pipes for drinking water and sanitary facilities, heating and waste water (incl. demolition and new concreting of the floor slab, as the old waste water pipe underneath was clogged)
- Completely new electrics in the basement and ground floor and partly in the attic with network cabling in many rooms
- Removal of gas condensing boiler, installation of highly efficient and quiet new Viessmann heat pump, which generates 3.5 to 4.0 kWh of heat for heating and hot water with 1 kWh of electricity
- Photovoltaic system, which again significantly reduces the running costs for heating and hot water
- Installation of new, insulated front door
- Installation of new doorbell and letterbox system as well as exterior lighting with motion detectors for the entrance area
- Complete redesign of the outdoor area at the front (south-facing) and rear (north-facing) with new privacy hedge towards the street, installation of new paths and steps in both gardens, planned for spring to early summer 2025

The photos shown are of course not yet the final status at the time of handover, once all the interior work has been completed. Most of the kitchen on the ground floor will be redone, as will the cladding of the new pipes and minor work.

Please only non-smokers for all three apartments, a corresponding individually formulated passage will be included in the rental contracts.

We do not tolerate inquiries from estate agents.

We would like to receive SCHUFA information, proof of salary for the last three months and a completed tenant self-disclosure form from prospective tenants.

The location on a south-eastern slope in an extremely quiet, pleasant residential area with views over the eastern part of Sigmaringen below and, in fine weather, across Lake Constance to the Alps is made even more attractive by the fact that the Hohenneuffenstrasse and Am Dettingerberg bus stops on line 3 and the Kreiskrankenhaus bus stop on line 2 are only 300 m away. Most of the traffic on Hohenneuffenstrasse in this quiet corner, which at first seems like a dead end, is actually just the bus, which passes by every 30 minutes.

Extremely practical, and a decisive factor in our purchase, was the unsurpassed proximity to the Sigmaringen district hospital, which can be reached on foot through the garden behind the house and a small path through the forest strip in 250 meters. However, as the main entrance and the access roads are on the other side of the hospital, you don't notice any traffic or patient activity in this house.

The apartments are therefore not only ideal for hospital employees, but also for employees of the Bertha Benz School, Fidelis School, Geschwister-Scholl School or the Hohenzollern Grammar School, which can often be reached more quickly on foot than by car, thanks to the small path behind the building that leads westwards and downhill through the small wooded area. The Sigmaringen District Office and the Ludwig Erhard School are also within easy walking distance of 1.5 km and 20 minutes.

On the other hand, kindergartens and playgrounds are just a few hundred meters to the south and east.
