A City Villa Awaiting Its Next Generation

Hanover-Kleefeld | Philosophenviertel | Built in 1914 | Approx. 297 m² living space | Approx. 117 m² usable space | 420 m² lot

Since 1914, this impressive city villa has been part of the distinguished Philosophenviertel in Hanover-Kleefeld. Just steps from the Eilenriede forest and directly adjoining the Klostergarten, it combines historic architecture with an exceptional residential setting.

The facade reflects the understated elegance of Reform architecture. Inside, numerous original features have been preserved, including a spacious entrance hall with open fireplace, a light-filled staircase with skylights, historic paneled doors, an original sliding door with glass panels, herringbone parquet flooring and impressive ceiling heights.

Renovation in accordance with historic preservation requirements has already begun. The facade and parts of the windows have been renovated, the heating system was replaced in 2022 and the energy source changed from oil to gas. A permit for roof renovation and insulation has been granted, and the work has already been commissioned. The new owners can therefore focus on designing the interior according to their own vision.
