Perfect for the whole family: A stylish architect-designed house with a charming view.

This detached single-family home, with a separate apartment, combines living in harmony with nature and proximity to the city, and is situated on a well-maintained hillside – offering impressive views over Birkenau and the gentle hills of the Odenwald region. The unique timber-frame architecture gives the house an open, light-filled atmosphere. Spacious rooms, spread over three levels, exposed wooden beams, and the uninterrupted view all the way to the roof create a feeling of spaciousness and warmth. The open gallery with two rooms adds a special architectural touch. A true highlight is the large living and dining area: three floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring the surrounding landscape into the house, a sunken seating area by the open fireplace provides a cozy atmosphere, and the expansive wooden terrace invites relaxation and enjoyment. The variety of terraces and balconies offers moments of sunshine at any time of day:
- North-East wooden terrace with access from the living room and master bedroom – ideal for morning and afternoon sun.
- South-East stone terrace – perfect for sun worshippers.
- West-facing balcony – to enjoy the evening sun. Inside, you'll find high-quality Mediterranean-style flooring, electric shutters, an awning, and three stylish daylight bathrooms designed by Colani. In addition, utility and hobby rooms offer plenty of extra space for individual needs. The ground-floor apartment features a living room (21.5 m²), a shower room, and a separate fitted kitchen. It is accessible both through an external door and from inside, and has its own terrace with access to the garden – ideal for renting, as an office, or for family members. The garden, with its play area, is beautifully landscaped with individual stone elements; a patio invites you to relax and enjoy barbecues and cozy summer evenings. The house also scores highly in terms of energy efficiency, with advanced insulation for its year of construction (1980). A hybrid and modern oil-fired condensing boiler (installed in 2015) also allows for the connection of a heat pump. This would immediately improve the energy efficiency rating to C. Triple-glazed windows are installed on the ground and upper floors, and underfloor heating is available on the ground floor. The south-facing roof area with a 25° pitch is ideally suited for photovoltaic panels. For investors: a monthly cold rent of at least 2,700 euros is realistic for this property.

Birkenau is located in the Bergstraße-Odenwald Geo-Nature Park. The house is idyllically situated on a hillside and absolutely noise-free at the end of a traffic-calmed turning circle. At the same time, the house is very well connected to the Rhine-Neckar district/Bergstrasse metropolitan region with its attractive towns of Weinheim, Heidelberg and Mannheim. The train station, kindergartens, elementary school, secondary school and the town center with restaurants, café and doctor are all within walking distance. By car you can easily reach the well-known local suppliers such as Aldi, Netto and Edeka etc. in 3 minutes. The large district town of Weinheim an der Bergstraße, with its medieval old town, is 4 km away. Weinheim can be reached in 10 minutes on the Odenwald regional train, as can the town's three grammar schools.
The supra-regional transport connections are also very good. A 5-minute drive on the B38 through the Saukopf Tunnel takes you to the A5 and A659 highways to Mannheim (approx. 25 km), Heidelberg (approx. 30 km) and Frankfurt (approx. 50 min) with its international airport. These direct transport links make Birkenau particularly interesting for couples or families who work in the surrounding towns and want to live in a quiet, green environment with a mild, sunny climate that is less hot in summer than the Rhine plain. The Bergstrasse region and the Odenwald forest offer countless wonderful opportunities for recreation and excursions.
