This exceptional property combines historic charm with modern living comfort in an impressive way. Originally built in 1936 and comprehensively renovated and largely rebuilt from the ground up over the past 10 years, the property now presents itself in near-new-build condition. It is set on a spacious plot of approximately 1,722 m² in a quiet location in Hürth, just outside Cologne. The main house offers approximately 448 m² of living space, providing generous accommodation and a wide range of possible uses for both families and discerning individuals. The property is complemented by a high-quality, fully converted garden house with approximately 64 m² of living space, which is ideally suited as a guest house, home office, or separate private retreat. From the moment you enter the house, the high quality of the construction and finishes becomes apparent. Solid construction with reinforced-concrete ceilings, a high-quality brick façade, a modern roof structure, and large areas of triple-glazed windows provide a robust foundation. The same high standards continue throughout the interior: large-format tiles, premium sanitary fittings from renowned manufacturers, and a combination of underfloor heating and modern radiators ensure a comfortable living environment across all floors. The floor plan impresses with its generous proportions and flexibility. All air-conditioned bedrooms, including the master bedroom, feature, in part, en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas, offering both sophisticated living and a high degree of privacy. An open-plan, light-filled living and dining area with ceiling heights of more than 6 metres creates an inviting atmosphere while providing the ideal setting for entertaining and social gatherings. The separate garden house is equally impressive in terms of quality. High-quality materials and solid construction have also been used here. A private kitchen, modern bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed building services make it a fully self-contained residential unit. The grounds themselves further enhance the property's unique character. Generous terrace areas and the surrounding greenery provide a high degree of privacy and numerous opportunities for relaxation and retreat. At the same time, the expansive plot offers a wide range of possibilities for landscaping and outdoor use — from elegant, representative gardens to family-friendly recreational areas. The location combines tranquillity with excellent accessibility. Both the A1 and A4 motorways, as well as Cologne city centre, can be reached within just a few minutes. At the same time, residents benefit from an established, family-friendly neighbourhood with excellent infrastructure, schools, shopping facilities, and nearby recreational areas in Hürth. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality, comprehensively renovated and largely rebuilt property with an additional guest house and a generous plot in the immediate vicinity of Cologne. It is ideally suited to discerning owner-occupiers who value space, quality, privacy, and exceptional living comfort.

Some properties impress by their scale. Others by the stories they tell. Rarely does one unite both with such timeless distinction. Nestled in the historic heart of Aachen, this exceptional city palace stands as one of the most significant Baroque townhouses in the former Imperial City. Set on a generous 1,369 m² plot, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire an architectural landmark of exceptional distinction and guide it into a new era. Offering approximately 550 m² of usable and living space across several levels, the property boasts an impressive layout featuring grand proportions, magnificent reception rooms, historic staircases, and a wealth of original architectural details that continue to define its unique character. High ceilings, elaborate stucco work, historic doors, and finely crafted period features evoke the elegance of centuries past, allowing the exceptional quality of this residence to be experienced at every turn. This is a house with a remarkable story to tell. It served for generations as the residence and representative home of prominent citizens of Aachen. This townhouse remains one of the city's most distinguished architectural landmarks. Its impressive Baroque design, together with later alterations by the renowned master architects Johann Joseph Couven and Jakob Couven, endows the building with an outstanding cultural and historical significance —which is recognised far beyond the borders of Aachen. As the new owner, you will have the rare opportunity to sensitively restore and adapt this historic ensemble to the demands of contemporary living or prestigious commercial use while respecting its remarkable heritage. The property is currently in need of comprehensive modernisation, offering the chance to combine its invaluable historic fabric with the highest standards of modern comfort. A complete restoration would preserve the building's unique character while creating an exceptional residence or bespoke concept tailored to individual requirements. Whether envisioned as an exclusive private residence, impressive corporate headquarters, seat of a foundation, or another distinguished purpose, the generous accommodation, historic grandeur, and exceptional location offer an abundance of possibilities. The expansive grounds represent an almost unparalleled feature within Aachen's city centre, creating a private sanctuary of remarkable tranquillity. Properties of this calibre rarely come to market. They are far more than an investment—they are a tangible piece of European architectural and cultural heritage. This exceptional estate offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a significant historic landmark, reinterpret it for the future, and ensure its legacy for generations to come.
