House for sale 5+1 • 207 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

The detached single-family house, built in 2006, impresses with its outstanding energy efficiency, high-quality finish details, and a functional, light-flooded layout spread out over approximately 207m² of living space. The living areas are presented in a coordinated and proportionate way throughout the building.

The property is situated on a south-facing, sunlit plot of 583m² in an absolutely quiet yet centrally located area of Leichlingen. Comfort, sustainability, and security—as well as an exceptional interior—imbue the property with a distinctive character in addition to its Mediterranean flair. The excellent overall condition is based on the meticulous care provided by the owners.

The entrance hall, designed to flow openly into the living area, welcomes you with generous space for your wardrobe. To the right, you will find the daylit guest WC and the study. Already here, the unique spatial feel of the open layout becomes apparent, with the study and kitchen both capable of being separated by glass sliding doors if desired.

To the left, you enter the ideally lit living and dining area, which has been visually divided by a custom-made, illuminated room divider accentuated by large windows.

Access to the approximately 80m² large, terracotta-colored, and sheltered terrace is available via a lifting sliding glass door element from either the living or dining area. The Mediterranean and low-maintenance outdoor area is characterized by built-in boundary planting, a small garden shed, an outdoor grill, and an irrigation system. Enjoying cozy moments outdoors is guaranteed.

The light-filled, spacious kitchen area, which connects both to the dining and entrance areas, impresses with its functional design and generous layout. It offers direct access to the utility room and further to the garage.

The utility room serves as a practical link between the kitchen area and the tiled garage (measuring 9 x 4 m) and complements the functional layout of the ground floor.

The upper living floor is reached via a solid beech staircase with a stainless-steel railing. Here, the clean-lined style continues. On this level are found a bedroom with a walk-in closet, two children’s rooms, and two bathrooms. This floor has been cleverly divided into an “adult area” and a “children’s area,” thereby keeping the hallway to an absolute minimum.

The town of Leichlingen is part of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, situated between the metropolitan areas of Cologne, Leverkusen, Düsseldorf, and the Bergisches Städtedreieck (Remscheid, Solingen, Wuppertal), and conveniently located near the A3 motorway—reachable in just a few minutes via the Leverkusen-Opladen or Langenfeld junctions. Thanks to its numerous orchards and fruit trees in bloom during the spring, Leichlingen is also known as the “City of Flowers.”

The town along the Wupper offers an idyllic natural setting, a wealth of leisure opportunities, and a rich cultural scene. With well-developed infrastructure, excellent transport connections (by car, train, bus) to nearby major cities, numerous shopping facilities, regional farm shops, comprehensive health care, and educational offerings from kindergarten to high school, Leichlingen is an ideal place to live for families and commuters seeking the perfect balance between urban life and nature. A steadily increasing population over the years further underscores the town’s attractiveness.

Perfect location with short distances!

The property impresses with its excellent location: a playground is only 180m away and can be reached in a 2-minute walk. The nearest supermarket, bakeries, and a gas station are a 2-minute drive (or a 6-minute walk) away, while restaurants are reachable within 3 minutes by car. The city center is only 2 km away—6 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot. For nature lovers, a recreational area with meadows, forests, and the Wupper is just 200m from the front door. The motorway junctions of the A3 (Langenfeld 7 minutes, Leverkusen-Opladen 11 minutes) provide fast connections to Cologne, Düsseldorf, and the surrounding areas.

The entire ground floor area is fitted with large, low-maintenance porcelain stoneware tiles that underscore the exceptional spatial atmosphere.

The kitchen is equipped with high-quality granite work surfaces featuring an extra depth of 75 cm. In addition to premium built-in appliances (Miele, Liebherr, AEG), an element of the centrally installed vacuum system stands out: a base corner sweeping nozzle (suction broom) enables fast and comfortable floor cleaning.

In the utility room, all the building’s technical systems (heat pump, ventilation system, rainwater pump, solar thermal system, garden irrigation control) as well as the washing machine, a sink, and ample storage surfaces are installed in a compact design. Rainwater collected in a 5,000-liter tank is used economically for garden irrigation, toilet flushing, and optionally for the washing machine.

To the right, in the children’s bathroom on the upper floor, you are greeted by an efficient use of space combined with a fresh maritime color scheme. A cleverly placed room divider highlights the asymmetrical designer washbasin by Villeroy & Boch upon entry, while the WC visually recedes. A barrier-free shower, iconic Hansgrohe Axor Starck shower and washbasin fixtures, and a heated towel rail guarantee a cheerful start to the day.

The first children’s or youth room is characterized by numerous unusual highlights and a functional layout that optimally accommodates the sloping roof and ceiling height. The working area, complete with a desk and bookshelf, benefits from the natural light provided by the roof window. A walk-in closet next to the workspace helps keep the room clearly structured and tidy. The opposite high wall is decorated like a Mediterranean façade with a French bistro flair—bringing relaxation and a vacation-like feel. Another special feature is a ladder that leads to a charming gallery beneath the attic. This area, with a central height of 1.56 m, is ideal as a play area, an additional sleeping space, or a retreat with a hammock.

The second children’s or youth room is currently used as a play, hobby, and guest room. A particular highlight is the 4.40m high and 3.00m wide climbing wall equipped with two EDELRID professional rope protection systems (complete with climbing harness and rope, carabiner, rope redirection, and rope brake). It promises sporty fun for both young and old. Both children’s/youth rooms offer access to a shared 7m² tiled balcony with a stainless-steel railing.

To the left is the master bedroom, which leaves nothing to be desired with its separate dressing area and en-suite bathroom. From the spacious sleeping area, one gains access through the walk-in closet to the bright master bathroom. A flush-in stair in the dressing area also provides access to the attic, which serves as additional separated storage space.

In the master bathroom, the straightforward aesthetic of the property continues, making optimal use of the space and sloping ceilings. The shower, washbasin, and bath areas are clearly structured. Warm ivory tones accented with strong reds and browns underline the timeless elegance. As in the children’s bathroom, a barrier-free shower, high-quality Hansgrohe Axor Starck shower and washbasin fixtures, and a heated towel rail complete the elegant, modern design.

The property is being sold due to a planned relocation out of the region in the summer of 2026, with the goal of a prompt sale. The specific modalities can be tailored individually. In general, two options are available:

- Sale with immediate transfer of ownership and encumbrances, combined with a tenancy until summer 2026.

- Sale with the transfer of ownership and encumbrances in the summer of 2026.

Note for potential buyers:

The total offer price of the property includes movable items such as the high-quality fitted kitchen, furniture, washing machine, garden shed, garden equipment, and much more. This movable inventory can be handled separately during the sales process and sold under a separate purchase agreement in order to reduce the real estate transfer tax.
