country home outside Aachen city center - Landhaus mit großem Garten vor den Toren Aachens

Our house is situated in the gently hilly rural outskirt of the ancient university city of Aachen, with 250 000 inhabitants. All around the house, you’ll find a huge, lush garden with an elaborate composition of flowers, bushes, old and shady fruit trees, a small pond with water lilies and a wide lawn offering picturesque sitting spots and hidden deck chairs for private sun bathing. A small green house, vegetable patch, as well as herb and fruit garden are ready for seasonal harvesting.

The house has 2 floors - ground floor & first floor – and basement.
Ground floor hosts kitchen, dining, sitting with an open fireplace, winter garden and spacious terrace, guest room and bathroom with toilet and shower.
The large kitchen is well equipped for passionate cooks. It has a big round breakfast table and garden windows in two directions.
On the first floor you find a double bedroom with a king-size bed, dressing room and a big bathroom with a bathtub.

At 5 km cycling distance from our home, right at Aachen historic city center you’ll find an inviting pattern of centuries-old narrow alleys with carefully restored facades housing elegant boutique stores, cafés and restaurants. The area surrounding UNESCO world heritage cathedral and palatial medieval town hall has charming historic cobblestone pavement and is fully pedestrianized, dotted with benches under shady trees and a wide variety of artistic fountains.
