Exceptional location right next to the forest: a two-family home currently rented out on a quiet cul-de-sac

Straight from your own backyard into the woods: This two-family home offers an exceptional living location in Gladbeck. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this semi-detached home, built in 1996, comprises two residential units on a lot of approximately 622 m², featuring a mature garden and a partially covered terrace. The property is fenced off at the rear boundary with the forest by a tall wire mesh fence. An integrated gate provides direct access to the forest. The lower apartment spans the ground floor and the basement. On the ground floor, you’re greeted by the entryway. A separate kitchen and a guest restroom complement the living and dining area, which, with its access to the terrace and garden, forms the heart of the apartment. The basement contains additional living and bedroom spaces as well as a bathroom; thus, part of the living space is located on this level. The space behind the bathroom in the basement—designated as a “storage room” on the floor plan—already has a high-voltage electrical connection. A sauna could be installed there. On the ground floor, there is also the option to install a wood-burning stove. Utility and storage rooms round out the living space. The upper apartment features a loggia and an additional studio/loft area under the roof. The house also offers interesting possibilities for adapting to changing space requirements in the future: The kitchen on the ground floor can be integrated into the living and dining area. This creates an open-concept kitchen-living area, while the former kitchen space can be used, for example, as a separate home office or guest room. A passageway to the upper apartment can also be created via the existing false door on the ground floor. Both units can thus be combined into a spacious single-family home. Currently, both apartments have been rented to the same original tenants since the building was constructed. In the event of termination for personal use, the statutory special termination rights would need to be taken into account. The monthly net rent (excluding utilities) is €1,440 for the lower apartment and €1,080 for the upper apartment. This results in total monthly rent income of €2,520, or €30,240 annually, excluding utilities. The technical features include a gas condensing boiler installed in 2020 and underfloor heating. The rest of the fixtures and fittings date primarily from the year of construction and offer scope for a personalized, contemporary design. There was moisture damage in the basement, which was repaired by a specialized contractor. A double garage and a utility room accessible from the outside round out the property. Out of respect for the tenants’ privacy, we have refrained from taking interior photos.
