Rough diamond in Linden-South: ground-floor apartment in a listed Wilhelminian-era building

Some apartments tell a story—this one has had over 100 years to perfect it. The listed multi-family building from 1911 combines the unmistakable charm of the Wilhelminian era with the potential for a fully customized home. Anyone buying here is not purchasing a finished apartment, but the opportunity to create one that truly matches their own ideas. The ground-floor apartment offers 61 square meters and three rooms—an excellent basis for a complete renovation to your specifications. The three-meter ceiling height sets the tone from the outset: spacious, light-filled, and with a sense of space that simply cannot be replicated in modern new builds. The windows are double-glazed and should ideally be replaced as part of the renovation. A special treasure lies right underfoot: the original wooden plank flooring runs throughout the entire apartment and is waiting to be sanded and brought back to life. With some hands-on work, it reveals that warm, timeless character that perfectly suits the building’s history—and is rarely found today. The kitchen has its own access to a balcony, creating a direct link between indoor and outdoor space. A retreat for morning coffee, a quiet evening after work, or fresh herbs right outside the door. The connection between inside and outside makes this private retreat especially valuable—whether for that first coffee, a calm evening, or potted herbs. The bathroom with shower-bath provides solid basic fittings, and anyone who values storage will appreciate the additional basement storage room as well as the shared laundry room in the building. The existing gas heating provides reliable warmth. The street-facing façade was recently repainted; the building presents itself as well maintained and representative. With ten units, it offers a manageable, established community of owners/occupants. The monthly service charge, including maintenance reserves, is €301. For investors, experienced renovators, or anyone specifically looking for an apartment with substance and real scope for design, this property is a rare opportunity.
