Urban living with old-building charm – rented maisonette above the rooftops of Ehrenfeld

Glasstraße offers exactly what makes Cologne-Ehrenfeld so highly sought-after: a lively, open and deeply human environment. People still know one another here. The street has an almost traffic-calmed character – during the day, residents of the neighbourhood naturally use it as a place to meet, strolling casually across the street and stopping for a chat. Despite the many residents’ parked cars, Glasstraße is spared hectic through traffic. A charming café right in the neighbourhood provides the perfect holiday feeling in everyday life and becomes a popular meeting place in the mornings.

Everything important is within walking distance: those who live here can confidently leave their car parked. Venloer Straße is just a short walk away, lined with owner-run boutiques, colourful studios, cafés and a huge selection of international restaurants. All supermarkets and errands for everyday needs can also be taken care of in no time.

A combination of dynamism and tranquillity: the excellent transport connections are a dream for commuters and city dwellers. The Ehrenfeld railway line runs behind the building, meaning Ehrenfeld station and KVB lines 3 and 4 can be reached on foot within minutes – there is no more direct or faster way to get to Cologne city centre.

The architectural highlight for quality of life on the property: a massive noise-protection wall provides perfect acoustic shielding. This creates a surprisingly peaceful retreat on the terraces and inside the apartments, keeping the city’s bustle outside while offering pure relaxation indoors.
