Townhouse on a quiet play street – urban living between the cathedral, Rhine, and St. Kunibert

This townhouse is a rare gem – a spacious, urban townhouse in the only play street in the entire Cologne city center, hidden in a quiet, protected microcosm and at the same time just a few steps from the Cathedral, the Rhine promenade, and the main train station. A place that offers discerning residents that special balance that is hardly found in the city: tranquility, security, and space – combined with a cultural and gastronomic environment of the highest order. On around 175 m² of living space, a home with an extraordinary structure unfolds: Three full floors, a comfortably developed attic, and a functional basement enable, for example, modern family life in all its facets. Working, living, retreating, receiving guests, hobbies, fitness – everything comes together in a harmonious whole. Even the ground floor surprises with an inviting living/dining scene, which exudes an open, almost Mediterranean lightness through large windows and the view into the atrium. The protected atrium acts as a private outdoor space in the middle of the city – a quiet refuge for breakfast, evening hours, or undisturbed playing. This level is complemented by a fully equipped, barrier-free bathroom and two flexibly usable living rooms. The two upper floors are each divided into two bright rooms, a hallway, and a bathroom; a large sun terrace on the 1st floor and a balcony on the 2nd floor extend the living space outdoors and offer relaxing views into the quiet courtyards of the Kunibertsviertel. The attic forms the architectural highlight: a light-flooded room with its own bathroom – ideal as a parent suite, atelier, studio, youth area, or exclusive home office. In the basement, functional utility and technical areas are available, complemented by a sauna as a wonderfully private wellness detail. The house was rebuilt in 1957 after war destruction, extended by a rear annex in 1996, and modernized at essential levels in 2009. It is suitable for anyone who appreciates architectural clarity, urban proximity, and a maximum of quality of life.
