Architectural jewel by Wilhelm Riphahn with panoramic views over Cologne

This unique property on a plot of 704 m² was built in 1963 by Wilhelm Riphahn, one of Cologne's most significant architects and recipient of the Grand Art Prize NRW. It was his last completed work and was designed as his own residence. The house sits atop the "Gipfelberg" in Cologne-Müngersdorf, on the western edge of the green belt initiated by Konrad Adenauer. The listed façade gives the flat-roof building in Bauhaus style its distinctive appeal. At the same time, the house—particularly in terms of equipment, layout, and technical infrastructure—requires careful modernization to meet today's standards and personal preferences. The living area of approximately 332 m² is bright and atmospheric. The basement provides extensive usable space of an additional approximately 183 m², including a sauna room and wine cellar. A garage (18 m²) and three parking spaces in front complete the offering. The house has two entrance doors accessible via the private access path. The two areas harmoniously blend into one another and can be flexibly separated if needed. The property is ideally designed for diverse uses, e.g., for living and working, multi-generational living, or simply as a single-family home with generous space. On the ground floor, there are a total of seven rooms. The centerpiece is the spacious living room with a fireplace, panoramic view, and access to the south-facing terrace, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city's landmarks from Cologne Cathedral to the Colonius. The terrace is framed by the south-facing garden, which offers space for activities and cozy retreats. From the living room, you ascend five steps to the study. The marble staircase behind it leads to the upper living level with four rooms, two bathrooms, and a roof terrace.
