High-quality architect-designed house in the city center – rented commercial unit included –

The striking and impressive residential and commercial building was comprehensively renovated or newly constructed in 2003 as an architect-designed property with great attention to detail. It is located in the heart of Barth’s historic town centre. The total area of approximately 391 m² comprises a rented commercial unit on the ground floor and a spacious loft-style apartment extending over three floors on the first and second upper floors, including a converted attic.

The commercial space, including storage rooms and the utility connection room with heating system, measures approximately 118 m² and has been successfully let for several years to the popular “Norddeutsche Lebensart” store. The bright and exceptional apartment has an open-plan layout and offers approximately 273 m² of living space with a high level of comfort and every everyday convenience.

The lower residential level on the first upper floor includes a living area, dining area, fully equipped fitted kitchen with Siemens and AEG appliances, storage room, utility room, guest WC, and entrance and hallway area with skylight. The second upper floor contains two bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, as well as a full bathroom and a shower room. The converted attic offers an equally spacious, open-plan area with numerous design possibilities and ample storage in the walk-in eaves spaces. Thanks to the large west-facing window front, it also provides an impressive view over the town’s rooftops as far as St. Mary’s Church.

Highlights of this property include solid ash floorboards; solid larch timber framing with thermal insulation; solid larch intermediate ceilings with impact-sound insulation; partially exposed old oak beams in the commercial unit; a water-softening system; wooden windows with insulating glazing; a cosy fireplace; various custom-built carpentry features; a conservatory with underfloor heating and a green roof; a sandstone head known as “The Four-Faced One”; two façade heads by the renowned sculptor Tobias Bork; a dog ramp leading to the first upper floor; an idyllic landscaped outdoor area with an ecological fish pond in the courtyard; and, above all, considerable charm and cosiness.

Access to and the driveway serving the approximately 317 m² plot, which is held in freehold ownership, are secured by a registered right of way for pedestrians and vehicles. The entire property has been continuously maintained. Most recently, in 2024, a modern Viessmann natural-gas heating system was newly installed.

The residential unit has so far been used as the owner’s primary residence; alternatively, use as a second home is also possible. This exceptional property is looking for a new owner—come and be surprised and take advantage of this rare opportunity!
