Property description

Semi-detached house in the historical Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style from 1890 in a central inner-city location in the Philippinenhof-Warteberg district of Kassel, only about 2 km from the city centre and very well connected to public transport. The five-storey building with basement and elaborate gable roof construction offers a total usable area of 436 m² spread across a basement with offices, ground floor with commercial use, upper floor with two living rooms, converted attic storey and unfinished ridge loft (Spitzboden).

The property underwent a fundamental modernisation in 2014, in which the roof covering, bathrooms, windows, electrics, doors, heating and façade with external thermal insulation composite system were renewed. The office space in the basement allows for partial commercial use, while the remaining storeys can be used as residential space. An internal inspection of the property did not take place.

The building is a listed monument and shows a fundamentally sound shell construction. Despite comprehensive refurbishment, the energy standard does not meet today's high requirements of the Energy Saving Ordinance (Energieeinsparverordnung) due to the renewed external thermal insulation composite system being under 10 cm.
