Living in an expressively designed single-family home consisting of old and new buildings with architectural excellence. Behind the gateway, a lovingly landscaped plot of 939 m² opens up with a courtyard like in Provence. A spacious place for absolute tranquillity with style and taste. An individual in the region.

INTERIEUR

What awaits you behind the wooden entrance gate cannot be guessed from the street. 240 m² of living space in a combination of old and sophisticated new architecture on a 939 m² plot in Altlussheim, a quiet residential area very close to Speyer. Very good connections to the major business centres of Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg.

The wooden deck at the imposing entrance to the house with its large window element is ideal as a reception area. Seating in the courtyard with a view of the delicate Japanese leather tree, the lavender bushes in the gravel and the numerous hydrangeas invites you to arrive. A place of both sun and shade.

The new building, constructed in 2015, offers 110 m² of living space spread over two floors, while the old building offers 130 m². In terms of design, the house benefits from innovative architecture combined with the highest quality fittings and the charm of the original features of the old building, which dates back to 1926.

Upon entering the house, the new building branches off to the left of the hallway, while the path to the right leads to the older existing building, visually separated by a 2.50 m ceiling-high swing door. A guest WC, a storage room and a pantry complete the entrance area. The modern living area is located in the architectural masterpiece built in 2015, with unrestricted access to the private garden.

In the bright, elegantly designed kitchen, the cooking island with its customised stainless steel worktop catches the eye. A seamlessly integrated gas hob from Gaggenau, high-quality Siemens appliances including a warming drawer, a flush-mounted Blanco stainless steel sink and a spacious kitchen wall unit measuring 3.60 m in height up to the ceiling add a touch of luxury to the cooking experience. The 26 m² kitchen-dining area offers enough space for a dining table for the whole family. When the 5.30 m wide sliding window element is open, the courtyard connects with the kitchen to form a single unit. The high, folded ceiling, combined with the floor-to-ceiling, impressively large window elements and the view of the quiet courtyard, makes this room feel light and airy at the same time. A blue-grey linoleum floor, which runs through large parts of the house, creates a sensual warmth and softness. The clear design language flows smoothly into the other rooms. The 34 m² living room is a bright space with floor-to-ceiling windows. The chimney for a wood-burning stove is ready for connection. This living accessory could therefore be easily retrofitted.

The upper floor of the new building is accessed via a wooden staircase. There is a beautiful transition from the soothing, warm floor surfaces of natural, ecological linoleum to wood. The wooden floorboards continue into the master bedroom area, which has a dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Underfloor heating throughout the new building adds to the feeling of well-being. The bathroom features high ceilings and an innovatively designed walk-in shower with Raindance, made of light mosaic tiles and concealed fittings. An absolute highlight – stylish and unique.

The stylish furnishings are naturally reflected in the elegant recessed spotlights from Flos and the flush-mounted carpenter-made doors with block frames and FSB handles.

The perfect design of the bathrooms in the new building extends into the old building wing. The bathroom and guest WC in the existing house were also renovated in the same style in 2015. Bright and tastefully designed.

The old building offers 130 m² of living space spread over two floors with a total of four rooms, a bathroom, a guest WC and a sheltered balcony overlooking the private courtyard. The old wooden floorboards and staircase lend this area a very special charm. The original wooden staircase from the year of construction, partly painted white and partly left natural, provides a dignified setting for an artistic picture gallery. The old building exudes charm, warmth and a feeling of security. It provides a balancing contrast to the modernity of the new building.

A basement measuring almost 50 m² with three rooms for technical equipment, laundry and storage, and an attic with potential for conversion complete the offering in this part of the house.

EXTERIEUR

A 939 m² sunny plot with a lovingly tended garden and Provençal accents. The courtyard is laid out with lavender plants in decorative gravel, and a Japanese leatherleaf tree, its leaves whispering peacefully in the wind, is placed in the entrance area and decorated with numerous hydrangeas in terracotta pots. A wonderful sight as you enter the property. The entire estate is versatile, with space for an outdoor kitchen, a lawn, fruit trees and a 50-year-old Douglas fir, with places to sunbathe or enjoy a book in peace, and its own vegetable garden. Virtually secluded, it is a private place for the whole family.

The outdoor space is rounded off by the approx. 34 m² barn. A historical stylistic element harmoniously embedded in the modern style of the architect's residence. Behind the rustic wooden entrance gate is a very special place to be, with plenty of light, sun and absolute tranquillity. An idyllic home in Altlussheim.
