About this house

We are selling our semi-detached house in the Villigst district of Schwerte, privately. The houses are staggered and brick-clad, and the property is located at the turning circle of a traffic-calmed street.
The house was built in 1989 in a split-level design on a freehold plot and has a manageable garden and a garage with additional storage space in the roof peak. In addition to a kitchen, bathroom, living room and guest toilet, there are 4.5 rooms and 3.5 basement rooms finished for residential use, as well as a spacious loft floor, none of which count toward the nearly 150 m² of living space.
When we moved in in 2015, extensive renovations were carried out to the flooring and electrical system, and a wood-burning stove was installed. More recently, a fiber-optic connection and complete roof insulation were added. The house is heated by a water-based underfloor heating system; radiators were retrofitted in the basement rooms, and the gas heating system itself, as well as the pumps, were also replaced recently. Domestic hot water is supported by a solar thermal unit on the roof. According to the energy performance certificate, final energy consumption is 100.9 kWh/(m²a), which is very low compared with properties built in the same year.

Fittings and features, as described

When you enter the house at ground level, you are on a half-level with a hallway and space for a coat rack, a guest toilet and a spacious eat-in kitchen. Half a level below is the living room, with direct access to the garden via the terrace. The two basement half-levels have a storage room, a boiler room with an additional shower and washbasin, a laundry room, and a large basement room similar to the living room. All these rooms have windows providing natural light. Above, a half-level contains two rooms, both with direct access to the south-facing balcony. One floor above is the master bedroom with a walk-in closet, as well as the bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The top floor has one room and an adjoining room providing access to it. From there, an extendable ladder leads to the attic, which has extensive storage space and its own window. The area in front of the house is paved for easy maintenance; the garden has a lawn in addition to the terrace, before the slope descends towards the road. The residential building area measures 268m². The slope reinforcement here was recently renewed, and a fence was also installed, incorporating a children's playhouse. A staircase also leads down to the road.
