Award-winning house in Bremerhaven is for sale

A very special property is currently looking for a new owner in Bremerhaven. The house is part of “Germany’s most beautiful row of terraced houses”.

“Simply timelessly beautiful”: With these words the exposé of one of the most famous terraced houses in Bremerhaven ends. The property in the Geeste district achieved national fame – and is now for sale. What makes the house so special and how much it should cost.

Built in 1984, the building is strongly reminiscent of the canal houses that are particularly common in Amsterdam, which are mostly located on the city’s canals and are characterized by their very narrow construction. And the property in Bremerhaven also has its creative roots in the Netherlands: architect Peter Weber designed the house.

In addition to the building that is for sale, Weber designed several canal houses in Bremerhaven. And: The buildings have received awards – critics from the Association of German Architects (BDA) describe the ensemble as “Germany’s most beautiful rows of terraced houses”.

Future owners can look forward to 121 square meters of living space and an additional 85 square meters of land area. The four rooms are spread over three floors, and a roof terrace is also part of the building, according to the exposé from the responsible real estate agent Tränkner.

According to the website, the canal house was originally supposed to cost 575,000 euros, but the price has now been reduced to 439,000 euros. With all additional costs, such as brokerage fees, property transfer tax, notary costs and land register entry, the total is around 485,000 euros.

Following the example from the Netherlands, the house is also directly in sight of the water – namely opposite the listed Wencke Dock. The city of Bremerhaven describes this as “a technological monument of the first order”. The structural beginnings date back to 1845.
