Description

This unique property is located in the highly sought-after district of Ratingen-Ost, within the immediate catchment area of Düsseldorf. Even before entering this semi-detached house, you will be fascinated by the striking historic brick facade. In combination with the two adjacent workers' cottages from the turn of the century, you can continue the story and bring the values of the past to life. A row of houses with remarkable charisma impresses everyone who drives down this street. Two front doors immediately reveal the design possibilities that this property offers you. A turn-of-the-century house invites you to natural living with original materials. Decide for yourself whether you want to keep two separate units or convert it into a single-family home. Each unit offers approximately 82 m² of living space. Generous ceiling heights give the rooms a good sense of space. The original basement with a slight vaulted ceiling has a charming allure. Due to the lower ceiling height, the usable area totals about 30 m². The fiber-optic connections are already in place here, ready to be distributed further throughout the house. Naturally, this house unit requires careful redesign from the ground up. Everything you invest - in the house and garden - will reward you with a unique living experience. Three elements of this semi-detached house are under monument protection. The facade, of course, is one, along with the two staircases and the split coach house in the garden. Design possibilities for the coach house as a sauna or grill hut could be ideas for future use. Due to the monument protection, there is no requirement to provide an energy certificate. Those who love and seek something special in a desirable location will find personal fulfillment in this property. This beautiful brick house is for doers who appreciate individuality, have visions, and want to redesign their home. We are happy to arrange a viewing. Call us - we will gladly schedule an appointment on site.

Ratingen-Ost is very centrally located, yet quiet, just a few minutes' walk from the city center and the S-Bahn. Ratingen, with its special charm, is one of the most popular residential areas in the Mettmann district. The combination of historic buildings, interesting boutiques, restaurants, and pubs offers a lot of variety and quality of life. From the cultural-historical marketplace with the market fountain created in 1976, the four main streets of the city branch off: Oberstraße, Bechemer Straße, Lintorfer, and Düsseldorfer Straße. The city of Ratingen has everything one could wish for in life: jobs, recreational areas, a beautiful city center, and diverse neighborhoods. Large international companies like SAP and Vodafone have settled here. The connection to the surrounding cities is optimal: via the A3, A44, and A52, you can quickly reach Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf Airport, and the surrounding Ruhr metropolises. You can also easily and quickly reach the cities of Düsseldorf, Essen, and Cologne by bus and train (S6). Ratingen, with its ten districts, is the most populous city in the Mettmann district, offering cultural and sports activities: city museum, city theater, cinema, horseback riding, archery, and golf provide a variety of leisure opportunities. Furthermore, the "Angerbad" invites not only for swimming but also for wellness and sauna alongside courses like aqua cycling, aqua jogging, and water fit. The surrounding recreational parks are particularly popular, especially Poensgenpark, the "Green Lung of Ratingen," the newly redesigned Cromfordpark in front of Cromford Manor, and the Volkardey recreation park with its Green Lake. Here you have the opportunity for extended walks and nature observation.
