House for sale 6+1 • 153 m² without real estate, Hesse

We offer our family home for sale directly, without brokers.

The building, constructed in a solid (massive) style with an integrated apartment, is located on a hillside. As a result, the almost ground-level apartment enjoys a view of the front garden on the southeast side of the house. The apartment features one bedroom and a living room with hookups for a kitchenette. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub.

Also accessible from the hallway is a small storage room under the staircase. On the same level, separated from the entrance hall of the apartment, the rear part of the house comprises a pantry, a laundry room, and a heating room. The garage stretches alongside the entire length of the house.

In the main apartment upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. The kitchen includes a separate utility room that could be repurposed for other uses.

The living and dining room offer plenty of space to spend time together with family. From the living room you can step onto a balcony on one side, and on the opposite side you access the terrace with a garden facing the northwest. This area invites relaxation or even the cultivation of vegetables and fruit.

There is a two-flue chimney available. It may be possible to retrofit a fireplace. The roof surfaces of the building are well oriented toward the sun, meaning that after inspection, they could be very suitable for a photovoltaic system or solar thermal use.

The attic can be converted into additional living space. In the stairwell, an opening in the ceiling has already been created for this purpose.

Ernsthofen is located approximately 16 km from Darmstadt and is part of the beautiful Odenwald, adjacent to the Bergstraße. Nature and animal lovers can truly unwind here. Nevertheless, you can quickly reach the Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt by taking the RMV express bus and then use various buses and trams for onward travel. The connections to highways A5 and A67 are also reached quite rapidly via nearby Pfungstadt.

The building is constructed in load-bearing style on a gentle slope. In the ground floor/basement, hollow block stones were used. The upper floor was built with Ytong blocks. The interior walls consist of calcium silicate bricks. The concrete ceilings (including that of the attic) were constructed as imperial ceilings. The screed is a floating cement screed, and the living areas are finished with gypsum plaster.

The fittings are largely standard for the period in which the house was built. The staircase is paved with travertine limestone, and granite was used in the upstairs bathroom.

The house is in need of renovation.

The protective cover of the 9 m³ oil tank, which is buried underground, was removed and disposed of at the end of 2023. The tank was cleaned and decommissioned following a TÜV inspection. It could either be used as a cistern or reactivated as an oil tank. Although the oil heating system is still running at the moment, it is described as defective and must be replaced. The aforementioned alternative energy concepts offer an option here. The house’s fresh water connection and some water pipes were renewed in 2023.

In the 1990s, all water pipes on the upper floor up to the attic—and some on the ground floor—were replaced.

The waterproofing on the parts of the building in contact with the ground, which is typical for the period of construction, is partially damaged. The terrace at the rear is brittle and would need to be renewed.

There are subsidies (for thermal insulation, window replacement, etc.) and possibly tax deductions available for energy-related building renovations and for replacing the heating system.

Since all owners are coming from far away, we request that you provide proof of financing for an appointment to view the property. We ask for your understanding that, based on our previous experiences, we must request evidence of up to what amount a house purchase—including renovation—is possible for you.
