This impressive townhouse in the sought-after Düsseltal district combines historic charm with modern elegance. Built in 1880, the building underwent a comprehensive core renovation between 2017 and 2022 and is now in first-class condition. Currently used as a spacious single-family home, it can be converted again with manageable effort into four high-quality residential units—each with two rooms, a bathroom, and an eat-in kitchen. This offers a high degree of flexibility for both investors and owner-occupiers. With a total of around 459 m² of living space across four floors, the house offers a wide range of possible uses. It is suitable as a generous family residence with ample space for living and working, or as a high-yield investment with attractive subdivision potential. From the moment you enter, the elegant marble floor, the spacious hallway, and the stylish wooden staircase create a representative entrance. On the ground floor there is a separate ancillary apartment, ideal for guests, an au pair, a home office, or as an independent rental unit. The first floor forms the heart of the house: an open-plan eat-in kitchen with a modern kitchen island and high-quality built-in appliances, a light-filled conservatory with large opening glass elements, as well as two versatile rooms and a guest WC create an ideal combination of living and quality of life. The second floor serves as a private retreat and offers three generous bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. An additional storage room provides practical space. On the third floor, the converted attic impresses with a bright studio, another flexibly usable room, and a modern bathroom. The newly created roof terrace with wide views over Düsseltal, Flingern, and as far as the Aaper Forest is a special highlight. The basement has also been finished to a high standard: an exclusive wellness area with a large Klafs sauna, steam sauna, XL whirlpool, shower, and WC ensures relaxation at the highest level. From here you have direct access to the quiet garden terrace—another sheltered place to retreat. This special townhouse combines stylish living, high-quality fittings, and exceptional usage options. Parking spaces can be rented directly in the neighborhood. A rare opportunity for discerning city lovers, families, or investors looking for a property with history, a future, and outstanding potential in a prime location in Düsseltal.
The property is located on the eastern edge of Düsseldorf’s sought-after Zoo District, directly at the transition to the vibrant Grafenberger Allee. This location combines the best of two worlds: the elegant, quiet residential atmosphere of historic Düsseltal and the urban dynamism of the neighboring districts such as Flingern and Grafenberg. Rethelstraße is the traditional promenade of the Zoo District, yet the building is situated right at the beginning of the street—just a few steps from Grafenberger Allee. As a result, the property benefits from excellent access to public transport: tram lines 703, 709 and 713 run along Grafenberger Allee at frequent intervals, providing direct connections to Düsseldorf city center, the main railway station, and other districts. The Düsseldorf-Zoo S-Bahn station is also within walking distance and offers links to the regional rail network. Despite the urban connectivity, the residential setting itself is pleasantly quiet and characterized by an established neighborhood with stylish historic buildings, small cafés, and owner-operated shops. The popular Zoopark, one of Düsseldorf’s greenest and most family-friendly parks, is only a few minutes’ walk away and invites walks, sports activities, or simply relaxing amid greenery. Numerous everyday amenities are also close by, including supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, and weekly markets. Daycare centers, schools, and medical facilities are likewise quickly accessible, making the location especially attractive for families and working professionals. Overall, Rethelstraße 1 offers an exceptionally well-connected, urban residential location with a high quality of life—ideal for anyone who wants to live close to the city while still enjoying an established, green environment.
