Architect's bungalow with character in a central and quiet location

An extraordinary architect's house in a central yet wonderfully secluded location – nestled in a wooded plot of over 2,000 m² with mature trees and an unobstructed view of the greenery. This rare combination of tranquility, nature, and proximity to the town center makes the property a true rarity. The center, with diverse shopping and dining options as well as an elementary school, is accessible on foot in just about ten minutes via an idyllic country path – ideal for families with children. The stylish bungalow was designed in 1962 by Friedrich Mebes, a student of the renowned architect Hans Scharoun, and is considered an impressive example of the organically influenced architecture of the time. With its irregular floor plan, the building blends harmoniously into the natural slope of the expansive property. Generous windows open up views of the surrounding nature, while curved paths, stairs, and terraces on different levels create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Inside, clinker bricks, wooden ceilings, and natural materials continue the architectural concept consistently. They give the house a warm, timeless atmosphere that continues to define the special character of the property to this day. In 1971 and 1980, the bungalow was extended with additional space – always with respect for the original architecture. Today, approximately 177 m² of living space is available on one level, divided into six rooms offering a variety of uses – from living and working to retreat and guest rooms. The property is heated by an oil heating system from 1999, with heat distribution via classic radiators. In the basement, in addition to the heating and utility room, there are further areas that can be used as storage or supply rooms. The approximately 2,101 m² large property is an absolute rarity in terms of type, size, and location. The natural slope creates exciting lines of sight and allows for an appealing tiering of garden levels. The property is located in one of the most sought-after streets in Ratingen-Hösel – close to nature, quiet, and yet excellently connected. This combination of architectural quality, spacious property, and exclusive location is extremely rare to find in this form. A house for people with a sense of style, substance, and individuality – a retreat with a soul in one of the region's most exclusive residential areas.
