Historic Semi Detached House In The Heart Of Overath!

A monument with history, character, and extraordinary charisma - located in the historic center of Overath, this exceptionally renovated residential house stands as a rare testament to regional architectural and urban history. The house, protected as a historical monument, consisting of two semi-detached houses, originally dates back to the 18th century and served as the mayor’s house in the 19th century - a building that has retained its special significance and representative impact to this day. The left semi-detached house now offered for sale impressively combines stone construction and half-timbering. The facade, historically developed, is clad, slated, or plastered and is characterized by a striking wooden cornice. A centrally arranged triangular gable with semicircular windows and a former loading hatch gives the house its distinctive character. Inside, the craftsmanship quality of past centuries is revealed: parts of the original structure from the 18th century are preserved to this day, including the barrel-vaulted cellar, historic wooden beam ceilings, clay-stake interior walls, a traditional rafter roof with a standing chair, and wide attic floorboards. These elements convey a tangible authenticity and special atmosphere that is rarely found in this form. During the 19th century, the building was carefully further developed and adapted to the residential and representational demands of the time. In 1997, both the roof and the expanded attic were extensively renovated and lovingly modernized and maintained to this day in 2009. The expression of the elevated standards of that time was never lost.
