INTERIOR
Situated on a beautifully landscaped 679 m² plot, this single-family house stands out. Spread over 2 levels, adapted to the gently sloping terrain with a basement (2.23 m high) and a raised ground floor. The living space measures 131 m². Plus, including utility space, the total area amounts to 173 m².

The upper level can be accessed either through the entrance with a small staircase or via the partially covered terrace supported by 2 brick pillars. Upon entering, you step into the living/dining area with an enclosed kitchen equipped with built-in appliances. A small hallway leads from the living area to the upper bedroom and the bathroom with a bathtub. The staircase to the basement is also accessed from here. In the basement, there is 1 bedroom, 1 dressing room, and a bathroom. The cellar room beneath the terrace serves as storage. Additional rooms for heating, storage, etc., are also abundantly available here.

The redesign concept for both levels aims to demonstrate how the spaces could be enlarged and redesigned in a more contemporary manner. There is also significant potential for change and improvement in the basement. The appeal of the building lies in its integration with nature. This could be further enhanced and experienced through generous window openings.

Due to the setback location of the plot, one can enjoy a nearly undisturbed environment here. The small pool, awaiting reactivation, adds an intriguing touch. Nostalgia arises from many materials and functional elements reminiscent of old GDR holiday homes, most of which have been converted into full-fledged residences. Brick, mosaic tiles, wood paneling are artifacts of that era, exuding their own unique charm. Especially the entrance with its functional canopy still exudes that authentic spirit of the time, as does the terrace and the pool.

This property is ideal for enthusiasts of this forgotten era or for someone keen on creating something new and different here - offering ample potential for innovative architecture, interior design, and landscaping.

EXTERIOR
The building, with its gently sloping gabled roof, evokes old settlement houses. The driveway allows parking on the property. Built in 1988, the house has been carefully maintained over the years. A new gas heating system was installed in 2020. In 2012, the house received a new roof with Otterberg tiles in brick red.

Regular renovations have also been carried out inside, preserving the charm of the past. Small loving details, such as the pantry with checkered shelves, add to the ambiance. Some built-in cupboards also reflect this era. A glass mosaic in the staircase demonstrates a sense of aesthetics even in small details, similar to the pool with its ceramic border.

This property is perfect for nostalgic individuals or those looking to make a fresh start outdoors in the greenery. It presents a highly rewarding situation and task for both. A small garden shed (approx. 17 m²) provides the perfect space for a workshop.

LOCATION
Biesdorf is located in the eastern part of Berlin and became part of the Berlin city area in 1920 during the formation of Greater Berlin. The Biesdorf Castle, built in 1868 by Hans Hermann Freiherr von Rüxleben, remains prominent to this day, offering art, culture, recreation, and dining. Biesdorf is also known for its Flower Festival, which takes place annually at the end of May/beginning of June. The Fuchsberg Elementary School is just a few minutes' walk away, and the Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium can be reached by bicycle in about 6 minutes. The Biesdorf center with all imaginable shopping facilities is a 12-minute walk or 3-minute drive away. From here, you can easily take the subway to Alexanderplatz (22 minutes from Elsterwerdaer Platz). The surrounding area offers plenty of greenery with cycling and hiking trails along the Wuhle River, as well as the landscape conservation areas around the Kaulsdorfer Lakes.
