Smart home near the lakeshore: generously-proportioned family home with sunny garden – ideal for multi-generational living

Sometimes, a few numbers can speak volumes. In this case, the 1,200 m² plot, 10 rooms, 3 bathrooms, approximately 253 m² of living area and 3 parking spaces make it clear that this is a property which has much to offer a large family in terms of opportunities for personal freedom and growth. A brief glance at this property reveals a number of striking features, such as the sauna, the smart home system, and the solar water heating system.

The property consists of two houses: an older building dating back to 1933, which was renovated in 2018, and substantially expanded through the construction of an additional building in 2015. The two buildings are connected by a conservatory. The 1930’s property extends across two floors. On the ground floor is a bedroom with a guest toilet. Upstairs is a sitting room with a fireplace, and a children’s room or study. The semi-basement houses a farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with modern appliances. The attic has been fully converted and has enough space for 1–2 rooms. In 2018, a gas heating system was installed, the house was renovated inside and out, and new wiring was installed.

The large patio which is attached to the newer building faces towards the south. A solid half of the patio area (around 24 m²) has a roof of wooden beams and glass, as well as a large set of blinds for protection from the sun. The eat-in kitchen is tiled and fitted out with high-quality appliances (Bora induction cooker, steam cooker, dishwasher). The room itself has high ceilings and is light and airy, with an open riser staircase in the living area. Here you will find an office, the cork-floored bedroom, the TV and music room (library), a walk-in wardrobe, and a small bathroom with a toilet and a walk-in shower. The bright ground-level bathroom has a glass sliding door through which one can step straight outside. The well-tended garden benefits from the presence of a number of trees, of which some are mature specimens. There is also a barrel sauna and a garden shower with year-round functionality, providing yet more opportunities for relaxation on this wonderful property. A pump provides for the fully automated watering of the garden, and a desalination plant caters to the needs of both buildings. The entirety of the new building is fitted out with underfloor heating, which is extremely comfortable and economical to run.

Both the houses and the garden are equipped with a KNX smart home system. As required, this allows those who live here to operate heating, lighting, blinds, ventilation and security systems in accordance with their individual preferences by means of a control centre. The car port, which has space for two cars, also has a power wall for recharging electric vehicles. There is space for another car outside the carport.

A mere stone’s throw away from Brandenburg’s most beautiful little river valley, the Schlaubetal, this family home is in a very quiet location, surrounded by lakes and nature. Within walking distance, there are restaurants, two bakeries, a café, doctors’ surgeries and a supermarket, as well as a primary school, a secondary school, and two nursery schools. There are bus connections in all directions. The A12 is less than quarter of an hour’s drive away (around 11 km), and commuters will be delighted to find that the RE1 railway station of Jacobsdorf (Mark) is just as easily reached. Müllrose is not far from Frankfurt (Oder), whilst Berlin’s Alexanderplatz is just 75 minutes away by car. Grünheide is only a 40-minute drive away.
