Bright 6-Room Old Building Apartment in Deutz with 2 Balconies

The apartment is located on the fourth floor of a 5-unit building in Deutz in downtown Cologne. It is bright and well laid out with high old building ceilings. The dining room, living room, and another room face the street side (north). The dining and living rooms are connected by double doors with glass facet windows. The kitchen and three other rooms face the quiet, green courtyard (south). The bathroom and guest toilet have windows to the light well. A south-facing balcony and a cellar room are available. There is also a small balcony on the street side, accessible from the dining room. There is no elevator.

The apartment was completely renovated a few years ago; all floor coverings, sanitary facilities, paints, tiles, electrical wiring, and radiators were renewed. A gas condensing boiler in the cellar supplies the entire building. According to the energy certificate, consumption is below average. After its creation, further energy-saving measures were implemented. A soakaway system for rainwater reduces additional costs as do energy-saving lamps in the stairwell and cellar as well as a low-energy circulation pump. The photo numbering follows the floor plan clockwise starting from the entrance.
The kitchen (including stove and dishwasher) of the previous tenant and possibly other furniture can be taken over free of charge (but this is not mandatory).

The right-Rhine Deutz offers a very attractive, family-friendly living environment. The Köln Messe/Deutz station (ICE, RE, S-Bahn), tram lines 1, 3, 4, and 9, and several bus lines are reachable within a few minutes on foot. Several highways are a few kilometers away. Daily shopping needs are met by the nearby shopping street Deutzer Freiheit. All types of doctors and schools as well as several kindergartens are available, along with a diverse gastronomy offer. The Rhine, Cathedral, Rheinpark, Poller Wiesen, and Lanxess Arena are within walking distance.

Please include some information about yourself as a tenant in your inquiry! The apartment is not to be rented to a student shared flat. Larger pets are viewed critically.
The cold rent is linked to the cost of living index (inflation adjustment).
An expansion of the attic storage including the necessary insulation measures is planned.
