Light filled family apartment with natural pond

In one of the most pleasant residential locations in Gerasdorf, in Oberlisse, nestled in an absolutely quiet residential street without through traffic, this bungalow built in 2014 in country-house style appears pleasantly understated from the outside. Almost a little mysterious, almost a little understated. Only when the entrance gate opens and you slowly roll over the paved driveway into the carport do you begin to sense that nothing here came about by chance.

A small greenhouse, entwined with blooming roses. The first view of the garden. Everything appears natural, almost as if it had grown entirely by itself over many years. Nothing pushes itself into the foreground.

It is only a few steps to the front door. Enough, however, to recognize that many things here are a little different.

Upon entering the house, this feeling continues seamlessly. Light, soft colors, natural materials and plenty of light create an atmosphere from the very first moment in which you immediately feel welcome. A room on the right, today used as a home office, tomorrow perhaps for guests, as an extended cloakroom or simply as a room that grows with the needs of its new residents.

The anticipation builds. Almost unnoticed, your gaze lingers for a moment on the cozy stove nook – a place that already makes you look forward to long winter evenings. Only then does the heart of the house suddenly open up.

Here, you inevitably stop for a moment. Not because you have to. But because this room plans exactly that for you.

At first glance, the room appears much larger than expected. And in fact, approximately 104 m² of living space on the ground floor alone are distributed so naturally that you hardly notice them. The centerpiece is the impressive Living Area of approximately 52 m². The gable, around 4.20 meters high, the generous glass surfaces and the openness give this very special living room an impressive sense of space without taking away any of its coziness.

You immediately sense that this room was not designed for a quick impression. It does not want to impress – and that is precisely why it does. Whether it is a cozy evening in front of the fire, a long Sunday with friends or simply a quiet moment with a good book: this living room does not adapt to the occasion. It makes every occasion special.

The openness creates spaciousness, the natural materials provide warmth and the log-burning stove forms the tranquil center of the room. Everything appears natural, nothing staged. That is exactly what makes this living room so extraordinary.

Light streams in from all sides and suddenly the boundaries between indoors and outdoors blur. Only gradually does your gaze begin to wander outside. To the treetops gently moving in the wind, to the spacious wooden terrace and finally to the natural swimming pond, which fits harmoniously into the garden almost like a small lake.

Despite its impressive height, this room feels remarkably homely. Not cool or oversized, but warm, inviting and just right.

Nothing here seems artificial. Not the kitchen either. It fits naturally into everyday life. High-quality fittings, granite worktops at different heights and direct access to the outdoors. The path to the herb bed takes less than ten seconds. It probably only gets fresher if the chives jump into the cooking pot by themselves.

From the living area, the path continues into the private part of the house.

Almost unnoticed, a completely separate area of the house begins here. The bedroom, dressing room and bathroom form a harmonious unit – a retreat that radiates tranquility and pleasantly slows down everyday life.

The bedroom, too, draws its character from this special closeness to nature. The large windows bring the garden right up to the bed. In the morning, the first view is of the greenery, and when you open the terrace door, indoors and outdoors almost completely merge. It almost feels as though you were waking up in the middle of the garden.

The bathroom consistently continues the harmonious signature of the house. Warm natural tones, plenty of wood, natural stone, a double washbasin, a generous shower, bathtub and daylight create an atmosphere more reminiscent of a small boutique hotel than a classic bathroom. Here, too, nothing feels excessively luxurious. Rather, you can sense that every detail was consciously selected and that everything works harmoniously together.

By now at the latest, it becomes clear that this house does not really end at the glass façade; it simply continues. The wooden terrace naturally becomes the next living space. Breakfast in the morning sun, a good conversation late into the evening, or sometimes simply a place to pause the day for a few minutes.

And the garden does not give the impression that it was planned. It appears as though it had grown over many years. With patience, a great deal of love and the notorious green thumb.

Roses accompany the path, the small greenhouse is already waiting for the next gardening season, with mature trees and flowering shrubs in between, and again and again places where you will be happy to sit down.

And you will love it too, this divine natural swimming pond, almost like a small lake. Perfectly coordinated in every detail, it is the perfect place to be on hot summer days. Visually a spectacular attraction, technically pure nature without much effort and entirely without chemicals. So harmoniously integrated into the garden that you could almost believe it had always been there.

And anyone who now thinks they have seen everything will be surprised once again.

The basement is anything but a classic cellar. With around 60 m² of additional living space as well as a further approximately 47 m² of usable space, it opens up possibilities rarely found in a single-family house. Bright, spacious and versatile, this area is perfect as a home office, fitness room, guest area, studio or hobby room. Here, too, the well-considered planning continues consistently.

The entire property comprises approximately 709 m² and can be accessed from two sides; if required, a second house could even be built here – exciting possibilities can arise here as well.

Curious? I am already looking forward to personally showing you this Special Secret and look forward to your call.
