Extraordinary Apartment With Garden Oasis

Living quietly, feeling character, enjoying freedom
A special home, with a garden and plenty of atmosphere.
Here outside, the day begins with openness and a sense of calm that one immediately takes with them. The surroundings are rural, family-friendly, and pleasantly unhurried, characterized by little through traffic and a tranquility that is beneficial to everyday life. At the same time, one remains close to nature while being well-connected, a balance that makes this hamlet so special. Into this environment fits a maisonette apartment that pleasantly stands out from the ordinary. It is located in a historic barn from 1816, which is under monument protection. With great care, an independent residential building was integrated into the existing structure in 1997. This created living space with clear structure and contemporary comfort, embedded in a shell that radiates history and craftsmanship to this day.
The apartment extends over two floors and offers 4½ rooms with 124 m² of living space. On the entrance floor, the living area unfolds as a quiet centerpiece. Terracotta underfoot, wood, and finely integrated steel elements above, along with an open spatial effect that relaxes everyday life while creating space for encounters. Living and dining merge into a harmonious whole that can be furnished easily depending on the life phase, from cozy sofa evenings to long tables with guests.
The kitchen is located in the back part of the apartment and is functionally integrated into the floor plan. It offers short paths, sufficient work surface, and everything needed in everyday life without pushing itself into the foreground. Thus, the living space remains free for what this apartment is fundamentally about: tranquility, spaciousness, and a harmonious living feeling. A special extra is the pizza oven, which is available to all residents of the house on the large, covered forecourt. And not only pizza turns out excellently in it; bread or a fragrant Sunday braid become a small ritual here.
The sliding doors in the living area are more than just a detail; they noticeably change how this apartment feels. With a few simple movements, they can be fully opened, creating a flowing transition to the outside. Thus, the two loggias do not simply become outdoor spaces but a natural extension of living, like an additional room that can be used differently depending on the season and mood. In the morning for the first coffee, in the afternoon as a quiet place to read, in the evening as an atmospheric stage for guests when the living space opens up to the outside and everything feels airier.
Especially on days when wind or rain approaches, this element shows its strength. One sits protected, stays dry, and still feels close to the weather. One senses the movement of the surroundings, hears the wind, perceives the mood outside, without compromising comfort. This interplay between inside and outside is rare and constitutes a large part of the special living feeling of this maisonette.
The staircase leads to the attic, where three rooms and the bathroom form a pleasantly private level. The wooden floor gives the rooms warmth and naturalness, while skylights and window areas create a friendly, bright atmosphere. The rooms are equally suitable as bedrooms, children’s rooms, or focused workspaces, ideal for couples or families with home office needs.
The bathroom is generously sized and was renovated in 2025. The bathtub with integrated shower combines function and comfort into a calm, uncomplicated solution that convinces just as much in everyday life as on weekends when time can slow down again.
Outside, the outdoor area awaits as a real added value. Two seating areas and around 120 m² of garden space create room for long afternoons, outdoor dining, and small gardening ideas. One area functions like a terrace, while the second has a classic gardening feel, along with an adjacent garden that can be used in various ways. Those who enjoy gardening can use additional planting space by arrangement with the neighbors.
The framework conditions are also suitable. The condominium comprises four units, creating a pleasant, personal structure. Communal areas such as washing and drying, as well as a bicycle storage, are available in the house and complement the apartment sensibly. The unit also includes cellar spaces and practical storage options that one quickly learns to appreciate in everyday life.
In terms of building technology, efficiency and reliability are paramount. The heating is provided by a wood chip heating system that sustainably heats the building. In 2025, a comprehensive heating renovation was also implemented, modernizing control and heat distribution. Wooden windows support the cozy living climate and fit the material honesty of this special property.
