ARE YOU LOOKING TO LIVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY WHILE ENJOYING AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF NATURE? We are proud to offer this characteristic and exceptionally spacious, fully furnished 5-room ground-floor residence, located on the leafy Essenburgsingel. With a park directly across the street and a generous private garden at the rear, this home offers a unique blend of urban allure and tranquility.
LAYOUT
GROUND FLOOR: You enter through a private front door into a hallway featuring beautiful original granito flooring. The hallway provides access to a separate cloakroom, a guest toilet, the spacious living room (30M²), and the open-plan kitchen-diner (22M²).
Because the living room is slightly elevated, you can enjoy views of the Essenburgpark from your sofa while maintaining complete privacy from passersby. The kitchen-diner offers ample space for a large dining table and features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light. The modern open kitchen is fully equipped, including a kitchen island with a new induction hob and high-end built-in appliances such as a Siemens combi-microwave and a recently installed (2025) refrigerator with a freezer compartment.
Note: The hallway, living room, and kitchen were upgraded in 2024 with in-floor heating and new flooring.
SOUTERRAIN (LOWER LEVEL): The hallway leads down to the souterrain, which houses three bedrooms, a large modern bathroom, a private indoor storage room (6M²), and a double built-in wardrobe (4M²). The expansive 66M² GARDEN is accessible via both the master bedroom and the balcony adjoining the kitchen.
