Versatile paradise for children with an enchanting garden on the southern edge of Berlin

“Life itself is never anything, it is just the opportunity for something”, said the German poet and dramatist Friedrich Hebbel 160 years ago. This opportunity to buy a generously-proportioned house, fitted out in so much loving detail and situated on the outskirts of Berlin, shows that this quote remains as true as ever: Only those who seize extraordinary opportunities when they arise get the chance to live the good life. On a plot totalling a solid 900 m², the total floor space of around 330 m² awaits a diversity of uses. Whether you are an extended family of several generations looking for a new home, a working couple with children who need additional space for an au pair, or if you seek to realise your dream of the perfect blend of living and working: This is where you can make it happen!

The building has two separate entrances and extends over a total of four floors. All floors, from the bright semi-basement to the attic, are first-class, fully fitted out and, thanks to the latest technology, entirely up-to-date in terms of energy efficiency. Entering the house, you step into the impressive, generously proportioned and well-equipped ground-level living area. This includes a beautiful, modern kitchen with an island unit and a generous dining table, a spacious coat room, a toilet, storage rooms, and the multifunctional, spacious living room, which opens out directly onto the patio and then the garden. A basement occupies the entire area below the ground floor and has two bathrooms including a sauna, as well as a hobby and fitness room and two additional rooms, all with their own sources of daylight. Upstairs and in the attic, there are four rooms ranging in size from small to large and a bathroom as well as a toilet. The rooms can be used as living rooms, bedrooms, guest rooms, children’s rooms or study rooms according to the individual needs of those who live there.

The beautiful and versatile garden can be accessed from the patio. Orientated towards the sunny west, it has several lawn areas, varied plantings of trees, flowers and shrubs, and a romantic stream that flows into a pond, which the children can also use as a swimming pool. As in the case of the house, the garden has been thoughtfully and lovingly laid out with a variety of different elements and areas. All in all, the impression conveyed is one of a place which has grown naturally, where one can truly feel at home.

The icing on the cake is the location of this family home in the garden city of Großziethen, a mere 500 m or so from the southern bounds of the city of Berlin. The local bus stop, which forms part of Berlin’s BVG public transport network, is just a short distance away. Advantages of this location include the schools and shops, which are easily reached by foot or by bicycle, and the short distance to the Berliner Ring (motorway) via Bundesstraße 96. A drive of less than 30 minutes will take you to City West, and in even less time than that you will be in the green and water-filled forests and parks surrounding the River Dahme and the River Spree.
