About this apartment

In apartment listings, people always like to talk about the beautiful period apartment, although unfortunately such properties have become very rare. Here is another one!

In this listed building dating from 1901, you are welcomed by an almost palatial staircase with groin vaults, terrazzo floors, opulent stucco and an elevator! The exceptionally appealing, well-maintained apartment on the first floor is distinguished by high-quality interior features such as 100-year-old, well-maintained oak parquet flooring, Villeroy & Boch tiles in the kitchen, and stucco in the living room, library and studio.

In the Rheinische Post in August 2013, it was featured as a dream apartment in a report of its own.

The approximately 4 m-high ceilings throughout the apartment, as well as the bay window in the living room, allow the bright apartment to breathe. In addition to five attractive rooms, the property includes 1 large bathroom with bathtub & shower, a separate guest WC incl. shower, and a beautiful, bright kitchen-diner. 2 storage rooms incl. washing-machine connection, as well as an additional built-in wall cupboard, complete the features. The property can be conveniently reached via an elevator. The large balcony can be accessed from both the kitchen and the bedroom, while the second balcony is accessed from the library. The condominium is heated by a central heating system serving the apartment, which was renewed in 2017. Particularly noteworthy is that there are not only two balconies, but you can also enjoy the beautiful, well-maintained garden at the property, which connects the residential building with the historic factory building of the former J.C. Granderath stucco company – now an artist’s studio. You also have access to a custom-made fitted kitchen and a 22sqm basement room with high ceilings.

Location

Location details

The apartment is located on a side street—with a speed limit—in the midst of the up-and-coming Oberbilk district, near the Regional and Local Courts built in 2010. Oberbilk borders the city center to the southeast. Its proximity to the historic Volksgarten, with its diverse recreational opportunities, and its location near the lively Kölner Straße, offering a wide variety of shopping opportunities, characterize this district, which still has significant development potential. Düsseldorf Central Station can be reached from the Ellerstraße underground station in 4 minutes, and Heinrich-Heine-Allee in 8 minutes. The Oberbilk S-Bahn station (S1, 6 and 68) is just a few minutes’ walk away. The district has visibly gained in attractiveness, especially as a result of the 1987 Federal Horticultural Show and the Südpark created for it, with its extensive meadows and water areas. Various sports facilities in Südpark and Volksgarten, as well as the Mitsubishi Electric Halle, formerly Philipshalle, hosting major concerts, complete the leisure offering for this interesting district, still largely unknown to many apartment seekers. Oberbilk has numerous kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools.
