About this apartment

The six-room apartment with a living area of approx. 140 m² is situated in a sought-after location in Leverkusen.
It is a multi-family house with three parties (all owners), one of which has its own separate entrance.
The apartment occupies the entire ground floor of the house. Due to the hillside location, the entrance door and the rooms on the west side are on the ground floor, while on the east side they are on the 2nd upper floor.
From the east side, there is a magnificent view of the small Silbersee lake amid greenery.
The apartment is accessible via the shared staircase and impresses with its unusual layout.
The entrance door opens into the large, very bright dining room, which contains a large built-in wardrobe. Due to its depth, it makes exceptionally good use of the space.
Directly adjacent is the bright, inviting kitchen.
The highlight is the approx. 31 m², light-flooded living room with access to the 12 m² balcony. It has a glass roof and side windows. The entire front is fitted with insect screens.
From here, there is a wonderful view of the small Silbersee lake, a splendid natural paradise in the middle of the city.
The balcony offers a sheltered outdoor space, whether for breakfast in the sun, convivial evenings or relaxation.
The magnificent view of nature can also be enjoyed from the bright bedroom.
The apartment also has a very large, versatile room with an adjoining smaller multifunctional room.
The apartment is equipped with both a modern shower room and a bathroom with a bathtub.
The Smart Home equipment (Home Assistant and Homematic / Homematic IP), the smart underfloor-heating thermostats with hydraulic balancing and the Nuki Pro Smart Lock on the apartment door are particularly practical. The residential ventilation units are also controlled and can, for example, be set to a desired humidity level.
For electricity generation, a small balcony PV system was installed on the outside of the balcony, approx. 1.6kWp with Hoymiles inverters.
A spacious basement room and a wooden shed belonging to the apartment provide plenty of storage space. The wooden shed was approved as a bicycle and motorcycle carport and originally housed a motorcycle.
There is also a shared drying room and storage space in the attic.
The two belonging to the apartment are particularly attractiveThe associated parking spaces directly in front of the house.

A major special feature of this property is its versatility.
On the one hand, walls can be moved, removed or newly installed in order to redistribute the rooms if necessary. There are no limits to your imagination here.
A major advantage, however, is the possibility of dividing the apartment back into two independent units. Legally, these are two apartments that were merely structurally connected to form one large apartment. As a result, there are two bathrooms and two apartment entrance doors. In addition to the existing kitchen, there is also another room with all the connections required to install a kitchen here as well.
To divide the apartment, only one opening would need to be closed. This currently connects the two apartments of approx. 92 m² and approx. 46 m².
The use of the two resulting apartments offers a wide range of possibilities.
They can be used, for example, as multigenerational housing, as a practice with an adjoining apartment, or one residential unit can be rented out.
The possibility of dividing the property provides plenty of scope for your own ideas.

Overall, you receive an apartment offering a wide range of possible uses while, despite its central location, remaining closely connected to nature.
