Property description
Condominium (W4) in a multi-family house with student flats in Essen's Ostviertel, immediately south of the city centre. The building was constructed 1952-1954 as post-war reconstruction after wartime destruction, partially converted in 1962 and extended in 2016.
The small flat of about 51 m² is located on the ground floor of the rear building and comprises a living/kitchen area, bedroom and internal bathroom. The flat is not let; immediate transfer of possession after the award is possible. The building is heated via district heating.
The flat could not be fully inspected, so the fit-out condition and quality of fittings are unknown. Damp damage to the party wall and soiling of the floor covering were noted in the entrance area. The remaining economic useful life is about 25 years.
