Description
For sale is a listed 15th-century townhouse in the city of Krems, comprising two units. The house is a real eye-catcher: its stepped gable and the chimney of the "Black Kitchen" immediately draw attention. This location also has a rich history, having housed the "Spitelhof" (hospital) since 1210. Elderly citizens spent their retirement here, poor travelers found shelter – and since all these people would eventually fall ill and require care, the institution of the hospital, as we know it today, developed from places like this. The name "Sängerhof" (Singers' Court) stems from the fact that, from the Counter-Reformation onward, the tenor of the church choir lived here. The house features a 1000-year-old cellar (approx. 25 m²), a ground floor (approx. 36 m²), an upper floor (approx. 83 m²) plus a 4 m² balcony, and a converted attic (approx. 42.5 m²) plus a 16 m² terrace. Layout: The ground floor consists of two rooms, a bathroom with toilet, heating, parquet flooring, and requires renovation. It can be accessed from the street or the main entrance. The attic can be used as an apartment, commercial space, therapy room, or office. The beautiful cross vaults are a notable feature. The upper floor is ready for occupancy and comprises a living room, a bedroom, a charmingly furnished kitchen plus a seating area in the small farmhouse parlor, a bathroom with toilet, a large anteroom, and a small balcony. The living room still features the original, well-preserved wooden wall paneling and ceilings, as well as the beautiful, ancient medieval flooring. The anteroom has a vaulted ceiling and access to a balcony. The farmhouse parlor, located within the footprint of the large fireplace, is particularly unique. Heating: Infrared radiators, underfloor heating in the bathroom and anteroom. Attic: Two adjoining bedrooms and a 16m² sunny roof terrace with magnificent views. Wooden floor, electric radiators. Basement: A true eye-catcher is the 1000-year-old wine cellar with its vaulted ceiling, where time seems to have stood still. Access is via a trapdoor. Perfect temperature for storing fine wines.
