This late-1950s bungalow is more than just an existing property – it’s a stage for ideas. Nestled in a quiet premium location in Kronberg, framed by mature trees and lush greenery, it offers the opportunity to continue an architectural story on a plot that already holds an approved building permit for a modern villa of approx. 300 m² of living space.

The existing structure – a classic mid-century bungalow with a split-level layout and striking window fronts – embodies the clear, functional design language of its era. Flooded with light, with a thoughtful floor plan and an architectural concept that seeks dialogue with nature, the property will appeal to lovers of mid-century design and to those looking to reinterpret the existing structure in a contemporary way.

The current approx. 185 m² of living space are distributed across seven rooms, including a spacious living and dining area with garden views, three bedrooms, a office, and a guest area with two bathrooms, a guest WC, and a kitchen. Many original features have been preserved – from the large-scale windows and authentic tile details to the built-in cabinetry. While the bungalow is in need of renovation, it offers an excellent foundation for a modern redesign.

EXTERIOR
The approx. 1,360 m² plot is slightly elevated and located in one of Kronberg’s finest residential areas. Surrounded by impressive trees, ferns, and dense greenery, it creates a natural setting that ensures privacy and tranquillity.

The horizontal lines, white facades, and expansive glass fronts blend the structure seamlessly with its surroundings – architecture and landscape form a harmonious dialogue. Designed by architect Klaus Dieter Böckel, this property is a prime example of its time.

From the terrace and living area, the view opens to the idyllic, park-like garden, emphasizing the transition between indoors and outdoors. The approved new-build concept makes perfect use of the existing topography: it combines modern architecture with the surrounding natural landscape to create a home that unites openness, light, and privacy.

LOCATION
Kronberg im Taunus is among the most desirable residential areas in the Rhine-Main region – a town that uniquely balances nature, culture, and urban proximity.

The bungalow Auf dem Hügel is surrounded by architecturally sophisticated villas and spacious, park-like gardens.

Its elevated position provides both openness and privacy. Walking trails through the nearby forest begin right outside the front door, while the historic town center – with its cafés, boutiques, and weekly market – is only minutes away.

International schools, the local golf and tennis clubs, and a wide range of leisure options are all in close proximity. Frankfurt city center and Frankfurt Airport can both be reached in around 20 minutes by car or S-Bahn.
