Objektbeschreibung
This is no ordinary existing property. It is a home with soul, character, and an exceptional amount of space in one of the most sought-after residential areas of Wachtberg-Pech.
Set on a spacious plot of approx. 1,140 m², the detached house was built in 1964 and was rented out until recently. In principle, it could be used again immediately. This is important: it is not a renovation case, but a solid, habitable home with good substance, generous architecture, and considerable development potential.
At the same time, anyone purchasing a property of this size today will usually expect a more modern standard in terms of appearance and energy efficiency. The house offers an excellent basis for this. The modernization does not have to be completed all at once; it can be planned sensibly and implemented step by step, depending on requirements, budget, and intended use.
The property already offers approx. 427 m² of living and usable space. Depending on the concept, a generous living solution with up to approx. 285 m² of living space can be created. The existing structure therefore offers significantly more possibilities than many conventional single-family homes.
A special feature is the approved indoor pool extension from 1976. The pool is technically functional and can be preserved as an exceptional wellness area. Alternatively, this section could be converted into classic living space, for example as a spacious living, leisure, guest, or home office area. This flexibility is one of the key strengths of the property.
From a technical perspective, the starting point is better than in many houses from this construction period. The roof was renewed around 2010, the heating system dates from around 2014, and a large proportion of the windows were modernized between 2000 and 2010. Energy-efficiency upgrades should still be considered in the medium term, but thanks to the existing heating system, they can be planned with more flexibility than in properties with immediate technical pressure.
Visually, the house offers typical modernization potential. The bathrooms mostly date from the 1990s, and the main bathroom in particular could be updated to meet today’s expectations. On the upper floor, one of the four rooms could also be used to enlarge the bathroom and create a more spacious master bathroom.
The garden is currently grown and natural. With targeted pruning and a clearer design, the outdoor area can quickly gain in quality.
Anyone who buys this property is not simply buying a house from the 1960s. They are buying location, land, substance, character, and options. The house is usable today, while also offering the opportunity to bring it into the present through well-planned modernization steps.
In short: a solid, spacious house with soul that does not need to be reinvented, but can be developed into an exceptional family home through thoughtful modernization.
With comprehensive modernization—such as improving energy efficiency toward an “Effizienzhaus” standard, adding contemporary fittings, and creating, for example, approx. 250 m² of approved living space—the total of today’s purchase price and modernization costs could, according to current estimates, be significantly below the cost of a comparable new-build property.
Note: The stated floor area potential and possible uses are subject to final review by an architect, the building authority, and a living space calculation. Based on current information, approx. 70 m² of the space previously used for residential purposes has not yet been approved as living space by a separate building permit application. Additional living space potential currently appears feasible, but a binding assessment remains subject to final technical and regulatory review.

Lage
Wachtberg-Pech is one of the most sought-after residential areas in southern Bonn. The town combines peaceful, green living in the Drachenfelser Ländchen region with proximity to Bad Godesberg, Bonn, and the entire Cologne/Bonn region. Pech is not only known for its established, family-friendly living environment but also for its unique history: Even during the Bonn Republic, the town was home to prominent figures from politics and public life—among others, Federal Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and former Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl lived here.
For families, the neighborhood offers a clear advantage: the kindergarten and elementary school are less than 150 meters away and are within easy walking distance. The St. Raphael Catholic Daycare Center is located right next to the Pech Catholic Elementary School.
Secondary schools are also easily accessible: The Hans-Dietrich-Genscher-Schule, a distinguished comprehensive secondary school, is located in Wachtberg-Berkum; in addition, nearby Bad Godesberg offers a wide range of high schools, comprehensive schools, and private educational institutions, including the Nicolaus-Cusanus High School, the Amos-Comenius High School, the Aloisiuskolleg, and the Elisabeth-Selbert Comprehensive School.
The location thus offers a rare combination of advantages: peaceful living in a green setting, short distances to childcare and schools, and quick access to Bad Godesberg, Bonn, and Cologne. Bonn’s city center is only about 13–15 km away, Bad Godesberg about 5–7 km, Cologne/Bonn Airport about 34–38 km, and Cologne’s city center about 45–50 km.
In short: Pech offers a high-quality, family-friendly residential area with history, good infrastructure, and convenient proximity to Bonn.
