Historic Half-timbered House in Blankenburg's Old Town

Historic half-timbered house with development potential - refurbishment property with residential and commercial use This traditional half-timbered house with unmistakable old building charm and great development potential is located in the heart of the historic old town of Blankenburg (Harz). The property at Tränkestraße 18 is part of a closed half-timbered ensemble and is just a few minutes' walk from the castle, the baroque domain and the medieval town fortifications. The property is a residential and commercial building in serious need of refurbishment, which gives the buyer a great deal of freedom both structurally and conceptually. The substance is weakened in parts and requires extensive repair work - from the building envelope to the roof and windows to the building services. The building offers the rare opportunity to preserve a piece of the city's history and to design it individually according to your own ideas. It could conceivably be used as a detached house, vacation home, studio, small residential units - or even for partial commercial use, for example as a store, office or practice on the first floor (subject to official approval). The central location in a mature old town structure makes the property particularly attractive for this purpose. Tränkestraße is one of the specially protected areas of the town of Blankenburg. Most of the surrounding buildings are listed, and it is very likely that No. 18 is also part of this architectural heritage. This opens up opportunities to take advantage of subsidies and tax benefits for refurbishment measures - especially in the case of restoration in line with listed buildings. This building is ideal for lovers of historic buildings, heritage enthusiasts or project developers who are prepared to invest time and capital in a piece of genuine old town tradition - with the opportunity to combine living and working under one roof. Particularly interesting: the directly adjacent neighboring building, Tränkestraße 19, is also for sale and can be purchased together with No. 18. This opens up the possibility of developing a larger urban ensemble and realizing individual usage concepts across both buildings. We look forward to showing you this special property in person - and are happy to arrange an individual viewing appointment.
