This detached single-family home in the sought-after Essen-Kettwig area combines exceptional spaciousness, high residential comfort and unobstructed views of the surrounding greenery. Generous living and sleeping areas, a beautiful terrace, a private wellness and fitness area, and modern energy-efficient features create a special living environment with ample privacy.

The ground floor forms the communicative heart of the house. A spacious living area flows harmoniously into the separate dining area, providing plenty of room for family and guests. The living level is complemented by a private billiards room. The generously sized kitchen is already included in the purchase price and also features a separate, spacious pantry. The living area opens directly onto the large southeast-facing terrace, offering wonderful, unobstructed views of the greenery. The combination of an indoor and outdoor fireplace creates a special atmosphere—ideal for relaxing hours at any time of year. Two separate guest toilets complete the accommodation on this level.

The upper floor comprises a total of four bedrooms, one bathroom and a guest toilet. The spacious master bedroom additionally features air conditioning and offers a comfortable private retreat. The other bedrooms can be used flexibly as children’s rooms, guest rooms or offices, making this floor particularly attractive for families.

A special feature of the property is located in the lower-ground floor: future residents will find an extensive wellness and fitness area here. A whirlpool, two saunas and a fully equipped fitness area, with the equipment already included in the purchase price, provide opportunities for wellness and exercise in the comfort of your own home. The lower-ground floor also includes two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate entrance. This level therefore offers a wide range of possible uses—for example, for guests, older children, a home office, or a spatially separate living and working area.

The southeast-facing terrace and unobstructed views of the green surroundings give the house exceptional recreational and relaxation value. The property has also been upgraded in terms of energy efficiency: a heat pump was installed in 2025 and is supported by a solar energy system. A double garage with a wallbox also enables convenient charging of an electric vehicle directly at the house.
