Design meets coastal calm: Spacious maisonette with garden, sauna and timeless thatched-roof charm

INTERIOR
Set just behind the summer dike of St. Peter-Ording, this maisonette apartment of around 90 square meters combines contemporary design with the timeless charm of a traditional thatched roof. A renovation in 2015 and an extensive update in 2024 including new finishes, a redesigned kitchen, upgraded plumbing, and roof work have given the home a fresh, modern character while preserving its sense of calm.

The ground floor features an open-plan layout that seamlessly connects the dining and living areas with a stylish sage green kitchen. A continuous wooden countertop, Siemens oven with induction cooktop, Grohe fittings, and a Villeroy & Boch sink create elegant accents. Large windows open onto a private southeast-facing terrace of about 22 square meters, overlooking the communal garden. The living area is defined by wooden floorboards, a Morso stove, and a graceful spiral staircase. Also on this level are a separate bedroom and a bathroom with a walk-in shower, Duravit shower tray, Grohe fixtures, radiator, Geberit toilet, and Duravit sink.

Upstairs, beneath the thatched roof, is a bright and tranquil bedroom with bespoke built-in wardrobes. The adjoining wellness area includes a Finnish sauna crafted from solid wood and a separate shower with Duravit tray and Grohe fittings. An ensuite bathroom with Duravit fixtures, Grohe tapware, and an integrated lighting concept completes this private retreat.

Additional features include a private parking space directly in front of the house, a separate utility room with washer and dryer, and access to communal storage. Entertainment is provided by a Triax satellite TV system. The private terrace is furnished with high-quality Barlow Tyrie pieces, including a bench, tables, sun loungers, and lounge chairs.

Situated between the spa and village districts, the apartment offers a quiet, restorative atmosphere with close proximity to the beach, nature, and everyday amenities.

EXTERIOR
The house presents a crisp white façade that stands out against the lush greenery of its garden setting. The traditional thatched roof defines the building’s character, its soft organic line enhanced by harmoniously proportioned dormer windows. Large casement windows and French doors flood the interiors with light while opening directly onto the garden.

A southeast-facing terrace extends from the house, providing a sheltered outdoor space that connects conveniently to the nearby parking area. The combination of thatch, white-painted brickwork, and finely detailed window frames embodies the timeless character of coastal architecture, stable, inviting, and enduring.

LOCATION
Nestled between the spa and village quarters, Westmarken offers a peaceful, green environment with all the vibrancy of St. Peter-Ording close at hand. The wide sandy beach with its iconic stilt houses is just minutes away, as are the village shops and restaurants that enrich daily life. The nearby Naturkost Eiderstedt organic store and EDEKA Johst provide everyday essentials, while Hedwig’s Restaurant and the charming Café Kleines Friesen-Törtchen offer local dining variety. For evening drinks, many head to the pier where GOSCH pairs a view of the sea with laid-back North Frisian flair.

The location is also well connected. Ording train station is just a fifteen-minute walk, and Hamburg can be reached by car in about an hour and 45 minutes. Westmarken thus combines the feel of a nature retreat with easy access to urban centers, a balance that makes St. Peter-Ording so distinctive.
