Stylish City Living – A 5-Bedroom Single-Family Home in a Renovated Historic Building

The property

This exceptional middle townhouse in Velbert combines the charm of a historic building with modern living comfort and a unique living experience. Originally built as a three-family home, the building was extensively renovated and modernized between 2002 and 2005 as part of a change of use, and transformed into a charming single-family home with great attention to detail.

With approximately 135 m² of living space spread over two levels, you’ll find a total of five rooms offering versatile usage options. Whether for families, couples, multigenerational living, or working from home, the house offers ample space for individual living concepts and different life stages.

Already on the ground floor, you’ll find a practical entryway with additional storage space for a coat rack and a laundry room, as well as a timelessly designed shower room with a toilet and natural light.

The heart of the property is located on the upper floor: Spacious, light-filled rooms and the open wood-frame structure with exposed beams give the living area a special loft-like ambiance with a warm, natural feel. The large window front facing the rooftop terrace provides an exceptionally beautiful influx of natural light and creates an open, inviting living atmosphere. The floors on this level are finished with high-quality solid wood parquet, further enhancing the stylish living atmosphere.

The modern, naturally lit bathroom features stylish tiles, a bathtub, a spacious floor-level walk-in shower, and a toilet. This level is complemented by a separate dining room, which can also be used as a home office if needed. The kitchen opens onto both the dining room and the living room, blending harmoniously into the open-concept living space.

Halfway up the staircase to the attic, you’ll find another, smaller rooftop terrace—an additional outdoor retreat.

The attic offers three additional rooms that are ideal as a private retreat for the family’s bedrooms or, alternatively, offer a variety of uses and can be customized to your needs—whether as a bedroom, children’s room, or a flexible workspace, guest room, or hobby room.

This attractive property is rounded out by a small basement, additional storage rooms, and an outdoor parking space directly next to the house.

The property was built in 1884 and listed as a historic landmark in 1999. As part of the extensive renovation work carried out between 2002 and 2005, the historically protected elements were professionally modernized in accordance with historic preservation guidelines. The historic preservation status applies exclusively to the stylistically defining exterior elements, such as the facade, the original wooden windows, and the classic gabled roof.

A unique property for anyone who wants to combine the character of historic architecture with modern, light-filled living.
