Is the neighboring house actually located right on the boundary line, or how does it relate to this outdoor unit on the wall and the pipes? How does the neighbor access that area?

Maybe you should specifically address all the points; I get the feeling that you are trying to defend or justify your design, which is not necessary.
I think the problem is not one corner here or there, but rather the prior necessary decision on how our life in old age can be as comfortable as possible there and what space and items we will no longer need in the new phase of life.

Yes, the neighboring house is directly on the boundary / at the sidewalk. It is already clear that the air conditioning unit has to be removed or relocated... that should not be a problem.
I don’t want to defend anything but merely present the framework conditions regarding the size and footprint of both the house and the garage, because only within these can and want I act.

I have sketched a ground floor.

I sketched a ground floor once.

Thank you, I’m working on it right now as well. However, it will probably not be feasible to move the house back by another 2m (which would certainly make sense at least in terms of light in the kitchen), as also shown in your sketch.

If it is an air conditioning unit, it could possibly be difficult. That’s why I already shared my idea that you could maybe include this currently ugly wall in your plans on a win-win basis, and in return, your friendly neighbor can leave the unit and the pipes as they are. Whether you then commission a huge graffiti or, as already mentioned, green the entire wall with a lattice structure to take away the harshness of the wall or even turn it into the highlight side. The whole thing can then feel cozy like a nice or greened courtyard.

With a distance of 3 m from the street, this also works.

Outlined your wishes, although a bit longer at the bottom

Thank you again for your comments. I have tried in the first iteration to initially put your rough sketch for the ground floor on paper.
As a result, the house has become 1m longer for the time being.

But I will also take another look at hanghaus2023’s sketch with the central entrance and the mini guest toilet.
