About this apartment

LIVING LIKE IN A TOWNHOUSE – RIGHT IN THE HEART OF SIGMARINGEN

This apartment doesn’t feel like a classic ground-floor apartment, but like a compact townhouse: its own entrance, 3.5 rooms, an open floor plan, completely renovated and never lived in.

Approximately 85 m² accommodates a spacious living-dining area with an open kitchen and access to the balcony, a bedroom, a second bright room for a child, guests or a home office, a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathtub, and a separate guest WC. Plus two storage rooms—one in the apartment and one in the basement.

The apartment has been designed for reduced-barrier access, including a threshold-free shower. This makes it an interesting option for families as well as anyone planning for the long term.

A BUILDING WITHOUT A BACKLOG OF RENOVATIONS

The building, with six units, was completely modernized in 2023–2025, using local tradespeople and high-quality materials. New features include:

- triple-glazed windows from a leading brand, installed by a local specialist
- insulation and façade (newly plastered or clad in wood)
- roof, including insulation, and new roof windows
- electrical systems throughout the building, network cabling in all rooms
- water and wastewater pipes
- heating: central heat pump with underfloor heating
- photovoltaic system on the roof
- oak parquet flooring in all living and sleeping areas
- bathrooms with branded ceramic fixtures and porcelain stoneware tiles
- provision for EV charging stations at the parking spaces

The result is reflected in the energy performance certificate: 22 kWh/(m²·a) final energy demand, efficiency class A+. Unrenovated buildings from this construction period typically have six to eight times that figure. For you, this means low ongoing costs, no upcoming special assessments for the roof, windows or heating, and no outstanding issues under the Building Energy Act.

UP TO €45,000 IN REPAYMENT SUBSIDY THROUGH KFW

The building was renovated to the Efficiency House 55 EE standard and also meets the “Worst Performing Building” and “serial renovation” criteria. If you are the first purchaser after renovation, you can therefore use a KfW loan (Program 261) of up to €150,000 per residential unit at a reduced interest rate—with a 30% repayment subsidy. That’s up to €45,000 that you don’t have to repay: around 14% of the purchase price, in addition to the interest savings.

Two things are important here: the subsidy is calculated based on the loan amount actually drawn down, and the application must be submitted before the purchase contract is signed. Our confirmation of application submissionWe will put together the energy efficiency experts and all other required documents for you—please contact us early so that everything is in the right order.

FOR SALE

The property is being sold commission-free directly by the owner. All documents are complete: energy performance certificate, living and usable area calculations, declaration of division with allocation plan, current land register extract, budget plan, and proof of building insurance. We can send you the complete package in advance upon request—including for your bank.

We can assist with financing through our partner banks; trading in your existing property is possible. An outdoor parking space can be purchased for an additional €10,000.

FOR INVESTORS

Two apartments in this building are currently rented at €14/m². For this unit, that equates to around €1,187 in monthly net rent and thus approximately 4.5% gross yield based on the purchase price—with no maintenance backlog and an energy standard that will remain lettable even in ten years.

Another renovated condominium is currently available in the same building: a 3.5-room attic apartment of approx. 86 m² with a spacious balcony. Both units can also be purchased together. Please contact us.

Location

Location details

Zimmerackerstraße is in a quiet location, yet right in the heart of Sigmaringen. Shops, bus stops, doctors, kindergartens and schools are within walking distance, and the train station is about three minutes away. The motorway is around 60 minutes away.

The historic old town with Hohenzollern Castle is just a few minutes’ walk away, as is the Donautal recreational area with its cycling and hiking trails. A location that makes everyday life possible without a car, while still being quiet enough to live in.

Regarding development at the location: The German Armed Forces are rebuilding their Sigmaringen base. According to reports in the local press, the first soldiers of Homeland Security Battalion 112 are expected from October 2026, with recruit training to be added from July 2027. This is expected to generate additional demand in the local housing market.
