About this house
This two-family home in central Butzbach combines three qualities that rarely come together: rental income already in place, plenty of space for different lifestyles, and a clear outlook for future use.
The 1930-built house stands on a 353 m² plot and offers 190.24 m² of living space, divided into two self-contained units with a total of eight rooms – sold with no buyer’s commission.
The living areas are divided into 58.71 m² on the ground floor (Apartment 1) and 131.53 m² on the upper floor and in the attic (Apartment 2, including the balcony share).
The ground-floor apartment is rented on a long-term basis; the current rent including utilities is €540 (€420 base rent, €120 advance payment for ancillary costs).
The unit on the upper floor and in the attic is currently occupied by the owner and will be vacant as of 01.01.2027.
From 2027, the buyer will therefore have several options: owner-occupation, re-letting, potentially multi-generational living, or a combination of living and renting.
This flexible arrangement makes the property attractive both to owner-occupiers and to investors. Anyone wishing to move in can do so as early as the beginning of 2027 while also benefiting from the existing rental income.
Features include a large balcony on the upper floor, a wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen, two newly created parking spaces in front of the house, as well as cellar and storage areas.
The basement offers an additional utility area with a WC, mini-kitchen (hob, sink, dishwasher) and covered outdoor access – ideal for garden parties or as a functional extension. The pool installed in the garden is also included in the sale.
A further improvement has been made to the outdoor area: the required fire-service access to the rear building has now been completed. This brings a measure that was previously still outstanding to completion.
The property is being sold directly by the owner, without the involvement of an estate agent. Extensive sales documents, including building drawings, measured plans and a living-area calculation prepared by an architect, are available.
Fittings and features, as described
The house has been modernized in several stages over the past decades. Highlights include the wood-burning stove installed in 2006, the predominantly renewed uPVC windows with double glazing (two windows are wooden) installed in 1993, the renovated exterior façade in 2002, and the balcony added on the upper floor in 2010. Interior insulation using gypsum plasterboard and polystyrene was also installed.
The building is heated by a central oil heating system with central hot water supply; the heat generator dates from 1991. The property includes four oil tanks, each with a capacity of 1,000 liters.
The house has a gabled roof with clay tile roofing and a wooden staircase. The floor coverings consist of vinyl, tiles, and cork. The exterior wall thickness is 40 cm on the ground and upper floors and 27 cm in the attic.
On the upper floor, the spacious balcony, wood-burning stove, and fitted kitchen accentuate the welcoming character. With three rooms, a bathroom, and a hallway, the attic offers additional fully usable living space.
The property is rounded out by spacious cellar and storage rooms, as well as an additional utility area in the basement with a WC and kitchenette (cooktop, sink, dishwasher). This area is directly accessible from the garden via a covered exterior staircase—ideal for entertaining or as a practical addition to everyday life.
The pool set up in the garden, with a diameter of approximately 3 m and a height of approx. 0.90 m, is included in the sale.
Two car parking spaces have since been newly created in front of the house. In addition, the required fire service access road to the rear house has been constructed. A total of two car parking spaces are therefore available.
Energy performance certificate: demand-based certificate pursuant to GEG, final energy demand 235.3 kWh/(m²·a), energy efficiency class G, primary energy source oil, year of construction of heat generator 1991, issued on 21.04.2026, valid until 20.04.2036 (Reg.-Nr. HE-2026-006349605).
Other
Purchase price: €449,000 – no buyer’s commission.
Rental income and occupancy: The ground-floor apartment is rented long-term; current rent including utilities is €540 (€420 net rent, €120 utility payment). The net rent was recently increased and, according to the owner, is below the local comparative rent. Any further rent adjustments must be reviewed in light of the statutory and contractual requirements.
The upper-floor and attic apartment is still occupied by the owner and will be available from 01.01.2027. The property therefore offers the opportunity to occupy the larger unit yourself in the near future while continuing to receive rental income from the ground floor.
Legal notices / Land Register: The Land Register grants rights of way, vehicle access and utility lines in favour of the rear building. In addition, rights of first refusal are recorded in Section II. The beneficiaries have agreed to sign a waiver promptly upon presentation of a specific purchase offer. The necessary declarations and their legal validity must be ensured as part of the purchase process. Further details are set out in the Land Register and the complete sales documentation.
The required fire service access to the rear building has now been established.
Plot: District 2, parcel 297/1; plot size 353 m². Standard land value €220/m².
Documentation: Building drawings, measured floor plans, living area calculation (graduate engineer and architect) and energy performance certificate are available and will be provided to qualified prospective buyers upon request.

Location details
Butzbach – central, practical for everyday life, well connected.
The property is located in the heart of Butzbach, in an area that combines short distances with easy accessibility. Shops, schools, kindergartens, doctors, the train station and other everyday amenities can be reached on foot or within a few minutes, depending on the destination. This combination of proximity to the town centre and practicality for everyday life is a decisive location advantage for many buyers and tenants.
Butzbach also benefits from its location between the Rhine-Main region and Central Hesse. The nearby A5 provides good connections towards Frankfurt, Gießen and the surrounding region. The train station also improves connections for commuters and public transport users.
As a medium-sized town on the edge of the conurbation, Butzbach offers an attractive combination of established infrastructure, a historic town centre, a wide range of shopping options and easy access to the surrounding business centres.
For buyers who want to live in the property themselves while also renting it out, the location offers a double advantage: short distances in everyday life and an attractive environment for letting. The combination of a central location, two self-contained residential units and good transport links also offers interesting prospects for investors.
