About this house

Architecture with Character – Spacious Living in Lorsch
High-quality semi-detached house with gallery & mezzanine in Lorsch on the Bergstraße -

Some houses are simply built – this one was designed. The spacious gallery with mezzanine opens the living area upwards, creates light and spaciousness, and gives the house an individual character that clearly sets it apart from a classic semi-detached house.
With around 210 m² of living space, the property combines spacious living with high-quality materials and an exceptionally well-maintained condition. Since moving in, the owners have continuously invested, renovated, and modernized the property.

Architecture that inspires
The heart of the house is the open-plan living area with gallery and mezzanine. The special ceiling height creates a generous, almost loft-like living atmosphere. A wood-burning stove in the living room provides coziness on cooler days. Directly adjacent is a comfortable library area with a view of the wood-burning stove – a special retreat for reading and relaxing.

High-quality materials define the house. The solid wood parquet flooring on the ground floor was sanded and re-oiled by a specialist company in 2022. Natural stone and other high-quality floor coverings complement the features.

The balcony on the upper floor welcomes the morning sun, while the terrace and garden offer plenty of space for relaxing hours outdoors.
Continuously maintained and modernized

The property has been continuously maintained and modernized over many years:
2013 – garden newly landscaped; living and dining area as well as another room renovated
2015 – guest WC in the basement newly connected
2018 – bedroom on the upper floor renovated
2020 – practice room in the basement renovated
2022 – new front door and new façade coating
2022 – parquet flooring professionally sanded and oiled
2024 – ground floor and upper floor extensively renovated
2026 – fiber-optic connection installed
The result is a very well-maintained and immediately usable property without any apparent need for renovation.

Flexible use – also suitable for two living areas
A special feature is the flexible use of the house, which was already taken into account during planning. The property and its connections were designed so that, in principle, it could be divided into two separate living areas. This creates interesting prospects for a multigenerational project, combining owner-occupation and renting, living with adult children or relatives, as well as other Individual living concepts. A specific layout depends on the respective building-law requirements.

The renovated practice/office space in the basement is also ideally suited as a home office, study, or for freelance work. The convertible attic offers further development potential.

Numerous high-quality finished rooms in the basement with tiled, parquet, and laminate flooring, a carport, and the fiber-optic connection installed in 2026 complete the offering.

A special property for people seeking exceptional architecture, spacious living, high-quality materials, and flexible usage options – in an attractive location in Lorsch on the Bergstraße.

Note on energy consumption: The rating in the energy consumption certificate does not depend solely on the amount of actual energy consumption. The energy source used and its assessment as part of the energy calculation also play a role. Heating oil is rated less favorably than the electricity used for an efficient heat pump due to its higher primary energy and CO₂ impact. Therefore, despite lower actual consumption, a building with an oil heating system may receive a poorer energy rating than a comparable building with a heat pump.
The actual energy consumption based on approximately 2100 l of heating oil per year is therefore considerably lower than shown in the energy certificate (which will be made available for inspection during the viewing).

Location

Location details

The house is located in a quiet, established residential area characterized by well-maintained single-family homes and a family-friendly community. And Lorsch itself is no ordinary small town: With Lorsch Abbey, the town has Hesse’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site right on its doorstep — founded in 764 and part of the UNESCO World Heritage family since 1991. The historic King’s Hall is one of the most significant surviving buildings from the Carolingian era and continues to shape the town’s cultural life to this day.
Guided tours, special exhibitions and events at the abbey are a completely natural part of everyday life here — a cultural offering of international standing that one otherwise finds only in major cities, but here can enjoy right on one’s doorstep. Frankfurt, Darmstadt and Heidelberg are also easily accessible via the nearby A5 and A67 motorways, allowing commuters and pleasure-seekers alike to feel at home.
Schools, doctors and shops for everyday needs are easily reachable on foot or by bicycle — Lorsch offers the infrastructure of a small town with the flair and history of a cultural city.
