House for sale 5+1 • 148 m² without real estate, Brandenburg

Directly from the owner’s family, a fully basemented house in solid construction is being offered here – previously occupied by one family. The plot area is 737 m². The living area on both floors measures 148 m². The equally solid basement area—with a finished ceiling height of 2.40 m—covers a total of 78.17 m², so that overall, excluding the outdoor area, the house offers 225 m² of living and usable space.

The house is entered via three steps (the owners temporarily waived the potential installation of a wheelchair ramp, as the house and plot can be entered barrier-free via the terrace).

On the ground floor there is:

• The entrance hall (8.88 m²), which also provides internal access to the basement level.

• The spacious living room with a fireplace (26.01 m²).

• The large living/kitchen area with a dining nook in the bay window (20.76 m²).

• A recently modernized, barrier-free shower room.

• A room (12.80 m²) that can be used either as an office or a bedroom.

• The boiler room (1.87 m²), equipped with a gas heating system featuring condensing technology (cf. § 72 Building Energy Act) with a hot water storage.

From the entrance hall, a solid wood staircase leads to the upper floor. There, at the top of the stairs, in the hallway, a hatch with a folding ladder leads to the attic.

On the upper floor there are:

• A bathroom with bathtub and shower (14.53 m²).

• A multi-purpose room (living, sleeping, children’s, office – 22.68 m²) with access to the balcony (with pre-installed connections for a potential kitchen extension).

• Another multi-purpose room (living, sleeping, children’s, office – 18.86 m²) with access to the balcony.

• A further room (sleeping, children’s, office, guest – 12.53 m²).

The attic above the upper floor has sufficient headroom for comfortable use and has served as storage for suitcases, Christmas or Easter decorations, etc. It also houses the distribution for the satellite system for TV and radio signals. Additionally, the upper floor has been further insulated from this level.

The basement/cellar areas can also be accessed directly via an external entrance in addition to the interior staircase. Some of the basement rooms have at times been used as a granny flat.

In the basement (all areas with a height of 2.40 m) you will find:

• A corridor (13.47 m²) with a small skylight window; underneath the internal stairs is a small wine cellar.

• A large room (35.80 m²), which is naturally lit, equipped with heating, a fireplace, and a kitchen area, and was temporarily used together with the small shower room as an in-law apartment.

• The heated house service room (6.13 m²), in which a small, retractable shower section—including a separate WC and washbasin—has been installed.

• The workshop (13.77 m²), which so far is unheated; here you will also find a pumping station and the distribution for one of the two rainwater cisterns (each 5 cubic meters) located in the outdoor area.

• A utility/storage room (9 m²), mainly used for the freezer, food storage, dishes, juice, and even winter fruit storage.

By installing a partition wall and a door in the ground floor hallway, the upper and lower areas can be divided into two separate residential units. The in-law flat exists, and there are additional living and usable spaces in the cellar.

Heating: The living floors have underfloor heating. The currently installed condensing gas boiler has been regularly serviced, with actuators replaced. In the future, converting the fireplace insert (whether in the living room or basement) to a water-based fireplace – in combination with the existing gas heating system – is a possibility (especially given the wooded surroundings). A heat pump could also be installed directly on the outer wall of the current boiler room. There is no need or obligation to replace the heating system during maintenance or repair! (Condensing boiler from 1995)

A particular highlight is the Milasee, a lake reachable only on foot or by bicycle and used almost exclusively by local residents. It is a true gem in the Brandenburg nature reserve, where the grandchildren learned to swim in the gently sloping waters.

Storkow is located southeast of Berlin. It is known for its proximity to the Tesla factory in Grünheide (a 35-minute drive without traffic jams) and, traditionally, for the Bad Saarow lake area and the golf resort. The house is situated in the Kehrigk district, in a new settlement developed in the mid-1990s, right next to the old village center.

In the village there is a small convenience store, a guesthouse, and a restaurant. There is also a volunteer fire brigade and a village club. Though the neighborhood has grown and is somewhat mixed, people know and appreciate each other and are willing to help. Within a minute, one is already in the forest, at Milasee, mushroom hunting, or out walking the dog.

For daily shopping, one drives over to Storkow. There are several retailers (Aldi, Norma, Lidl, Rossmann, Getränke Hoffmann, and others), as well as pharmacies, electronics and medical supply shops, drugstores, florists, bakeries, and butcher shops. Local children are transported by school bus directly from the village to the nearby schools, including secondary schools.

Massive new construction was completed in 1995 using reinforced concrete, with additional perimeter insulation—even beneath the cellar. Both the intermediate ceiling and the ceiling over the upper floor are solid and additionally insulated.

In the house service room, utilities such as gas, water, electricity, telephone, cable (and possibly DSL) are connected. Wastewater is discharged into the sewer system. Internet is distributed throughout the house via Wi‑Fi, and a satellite outlet is available in all living rooms and the kitchen.

The owners had the house built by a company and, with the help of various professionals, implemented many owner contributions—and continue to do so. The property was exclusively owner-occupied by a non-pet household.

All areas on the ground and upper floors feature underfloor heating. The floors have been fitted with renewed laminate in the living areas, and the bathrooms, kitchen, and cellar are tiled. In the cellar, the large room and the in-law apartment’s bathroom are equipped with radiators, although the fireplace has generally been sufficient for heating.

The house and water are heated by a reliable gas boiler (model Viessmann).

In front of the kitchen and living room is a large terrace, where provisions were made for the possible construction of a conservatory, which eventually became unnecessary in practical use. In front of the terrace, there is a small pond inhabited by goldfish.

The well-maintained garden contains various fruit shrubs and fruit trees, as well as cultivated flower beds which in recent years have partly transformed into lawns due to age. In the rear of the property, a 5-cubic-meter rainwater cistern is buried, which, via the cellar’s pumping station, supplies water to the back garden. The rainwater from the front half of the house is collected in a second 5-cubic-meter cistern with a separate pump; this one is also not visibly buried. Additional external water taps are available.

In recent years, ongoing repair and renewal work has been carried out. The entire property is fenced. At the front, there is a locally forged metal fence with an electric gate for cars, which can be stored in the double carport that includes a small shed for storing tools, lawnmowers, etc.

Kehrigk is located by the forest, providing an excellent solution for obtaining firewood for the fireplace. The energy certificate reflects that the house was used year-round by a retired couple, with partial additional use of the in-law apartment.

Even during the family’s internal architectural planning before construction, the possibility of dividing the house into two residential units was taken into account. As you can see from the floor plans, by installing an additional partition wall in the entrance hall with a door coupled with the existing connections for an extra kitchen installation, this can easily and quickly be implemented on the upper floor. In practice, however, the sellers did not pursue this idea because the basement/cellar already fulfills that usage.

Furthermore, thanks to the separate cellar entrance with its own bathroom, there are extensive possibilities in the basement for commercial use or for establishing larger home office spaces—combining living and work while still keeping them distinct.
