Description
Mediterranean flair in the Blankenese staircase district The captain's house, built in 1720, is located in the middle of the unique staircase district, just a few minutes' walk from the Blankenese Elbe beach. The majority of the houses can only be reached on foot via the approximately 5,000 steps. It is all the better that the building offered here can also be reached by car via Blankenese's only small main street. Despite the small properties, many Hamburg residents dream of living on the stairs. Once you arrive, you are immediately reminded of a Mediterranean holiday in Europe. Blankenese is a village in the metropolis of Hamburg. All types of schools can be reached on foot or by bike, as can countless sports clubs, including sailing clubs, hockey, handball, football and swimming clubs. Particularly worthy of mention is the unique Falkenstein golf course. The Blankenese cinema as well as the ideal shopping opportunities and all the necessary medical practices tempt some people not to leave the district at all, even though you can reach the urban Jungfernstieg in downtown Hamburg in all its splendor in just 23 minutes by S-Bahn. This detached single-family house, built in 1730 using a timber frame construction, is located on an approximately 269 sqm plot with a south-west orientation. The house has a partial basement and has a living space of approx. 120 square meters including usable space. The current owners carried out a comprehensive renovation and modernization of the property in 1986. All windows and door lintels were replaced. The house's original support beams were exposed again as a stylish element. Ceilings, floors and the basement floor were completely renewed. The chimney was repositioned and the roof was insulated. The entire electrical system, water pipes, sewer pipes, the gas boiler, the fireplace and much more were replaced. The Swedish triple-glazed windows are made of pine. In 2005, a double-glazed aluminum conservatory with underfloor heating was added to the ground floor. In 2017, the upper floor was replanned and expanded, creating 2 bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. On the lovingly landscaped hillside property you will find enough space and peace to relax and eat in large groups on 2 terraces, which are located on different levels of the slope. Please see the attached floor plan for the layout of the house. Viewings are possible at any time by prior arrangement - even on weekends.
