Overview

Welcome to the former mayor's house, once the center of a charmingly situated Solingen estate with a magnificent view of our Bergisches Land. The two-storey house from the early 17th century offers a unique combination of historical charm and modern adaptations on approx. 260 m² of living space and 385 m² of land. First mentioned in 1642, the building still features many original elements such as the striking wooden shingle façade, the massive vaulted cellar and the stately hallway. It is a listed building, the exact year of construction is unknown. Authentic details such as wooden lattice windows, wooden shutters, wooden floorboards and slate flooring in the hallway add to the character. Clay framework and clay plaster ensure a pleasant indoor climate. The building has been largely preserved in its original condition, but has already been modernized. In 2020, the roof and wooden shingle façade were renewed and the pipes on the first floor were replaced. Renovation work on the upper floor was completed in 2023, including the preparation of a spacious bathroom. The apartment on the first floor was renovated at the end of 2024 and connected to the central heating system. The property comprises 12 rooms in several residential units. Previously used by up to four tenants, only one apartment on the first floor is currently let. There are therefore numerous potential uses, for example as a multi-generational home, for a large family or for renting out. The attic offers additional storage space or the possibility of further living space. The basement offers space for storage rooms and technical equipment. This historic building is ideal for buyers who are looking for a property with character and are committed to developing it further. The renovations that have already been carried out provide a solid foundation. The location and size open up numerous opportunities for owner-occupiers and investors.
