My wife and I have been circling around the property with Scout-ID 155185823 for several weeks.
The question is whether there is a legitimate interest in this purchase or simply the lasting impression of a special property that theoretically could be had.
Sure, you would now say it is the former because you are looking. Nevertheless, you have to take off the rose-colored glasses during a search sometimes.
Who doesn’t know that during a vacation they deal with the local prime locations and imagine having something like that (even though realistically it is absurd – for whatever reasons).
You also see one or the other special specimen on online portals or while driving through villages, and that permanently if the property is special in any way – whether size, location, substance, or purchase price – so that the sale proves to be rightly difficult unless someone with deep pockets comes along and can bring the treasure or the fairy-tale castle to life.
I keep quiet about the costs of a renovation because I am not an expert. Nevertheless, you have to balance needs and supply: a staircase, for example, is necessary to connect two floors. Certainly unnecessary is a hall with a fireplace corner where the staircase ends, which would also have to be included in the renovation plan in terms of area and height. The same applies to a party basement or party attic conversion with bar and whatnot as well as a balcony.
Some 20-30 sqm more living space than you actually need is quite nice too, but you don’t get it for free (here).
I actually find it strange that the price is being stubbornly maintained even though the house has been online for so long. Apparently, there is no big pressure to sell.
sqm of land plus sqm of old house, you certainly come to this purchase price. Probably the land alone justifies this selling price.
With an age over 60 years, everything is probably paid off. An official administration/care or heir community can also sit it out for a long time.
I find some details like the wall in the swimming pool or the foyer extremely great – but of course, they can be retrofitted more cheaply in another property.
Yeah, many things can be great. But you don’t buy a house because of great details – unless you have money in (overflowing) abundance.
Just to clarify: I have not viewed the house so far.
So basically, it’s just admiring. Like when you had a crush in 10th grade who was much, much prettier than yourself and therefore unreachable. Later you found out the crush only had a nice facade and it wasn’t worth spending so much mental energy on them. You are finding that out right here.
And it doesn’t matter who was with the crush before, in this case, who lived in this house before.
Personally, I am basically attracted to the architecture of the 60s, so also this house. But honestly? The large plot with the full tree population would deter me. If you look at the orientation, the garden faces the wooded and rather dark north, the front garden is in the south. The slope also plays a role. I would not consider it practical for everyday life or friendly.
