An oasis in the city - Charming country house with large garden on the Bickendorf Cultural Trail

Open the distinctive blue gate of this beautiful courtyard from 1870 and step into another world. An oasis of tranquility in the bustling metropolis awaits you. You live right in the middle and yet very quietly. The property tells the story of its time and at the same time appears timelessly modern. This is unique in Cologne! The fully renovated and ecologically modernized, listed country house offers you approximately 175 m² of individual, comfortable living space on two floors with all comforts. The 45 cm thick, naturally plastered walls ensure a pleasant indoor climate all year round and very low heating costs. Thanks to the historic preservation status, you benefit from tax advantages and are exempt from the GEG. The unique combination of history and design welcomes you and gives you a daily holiday feeling. From the courtyard, you enter the cozy hallway leading to the light-flooded living room with large, floor-to-ceiling mullioned doors to the terrace. With windows facing the green courtyard with a romantic fountain, the modern built-in kitchen from 2023 exudes Mediterranean liveliness and enjoyment thanks to the stylish Moroccan cement tiles in terracotta and cream tones. Another room on the ground floor with a kitchenette and adjoining shower room offers flexibility for a home office or guest area. Upstairs are the bedroom, the dressing room, and another spacious room – ideal as a studio or children's room. Charming dormers and large attic windows bring light and character into the house. Both floors have wooden floors, with underfloor heating downstairs. Both bathrooms, on the ground and upper floors, are from 2022, combining purism and warmth through natural materials like lime plaster, natural stone mosaic, and designer tiles. The Villeroy & Boch ceramics, custom-made carpenter's furniture, floor-to-ceiling showers plus a twin bathtub, and a heated mirror – this is boutique hotel comfort in your own home. In the garden, a piece of nature unfolds that one would hardly expect in this neighborhood: A lovingly designed garden with old trees, bamboo, herbs, organic beds, and a large garden house for equipment, bikes, or for example, your hobby chickens. Behind it, a naturally designed pond with goldfish, and finally, discreetly hidden, your own sauna! Everywhere there are beautiful seating areas inviting you to relax. This house is for people who appreciate style, tranquility, and character. We look forward to showing you this special property in person. Here you can breathe freely, here you can live fully!
