About this apartment

In the quiet rear building of Pappelallee 5a, you will find a unit with real character and rare potential. The rooms on the raised ground floor of the transverse building offer generous space that – subject to the appropriate approval – can be transformed into an individual home.

A real special feature is the private garden area belonging to this unit. It can be reached via the stairwell – and anyone who arrives there immediately senses what makes this garden plot so special: The surrounding buildings are pleasantly low, allowing the view to open up far into the sky. No cramped “back courtyard feeling”, but plenty of sky, plenty of light, plenty of air – a surprisingly airy, open retreat in the middle of the city. The garden also faces southeast, with a slight tendency towards the east – ideal for a sunny start to the day and pleasantly bright afternoon hours.

The basement area also belongs to the unit and can be put to good use: From there, a staircase (wooden stairs) leads directly into the garden area – a practical, immediate transition between the indoor and outdoor areas that opens up additional possibilities for the future design.

The space is currently still used commercially and divided into three rooms as well as separate men’s and women’s toilet facilities – a classic layout from bygone office days. The ground floor provides approximately 113.57 m², supplemented by the associated basement area of approx. 28.60 m² – a total of around 140 m² of space awaiting a new, individual layout. Anyone moving in here should be ready for a complete new beginning: Complete gutting and a new bathroom are prerequisites, as is fresh floor-plan planning to make the space suitable for residential use again. This unit is aimed at people with a clear vision who want to develop their own home from a solid basic structure.
