In the heart of Burgsteinfurt lies this historic building, which was once a bakery and then the Gasthaus zur Sonne and now, with its long history, is one of the town's most important high streets.With roots dating back to the 16th century, it is located in the old town and was a popular and important meeting place for the townspeople for many years. Over the years, the half-timbered house, which is an example of traditional Westphalian architecture, has been renovated and modernized several times to meet the demands of the times.Today, the impressive listed residential and commercial building contributes to the charming atmosphere of the old town and extends over three construction phases. The various parts of the building are around 200, 300 and 400 years old and still retain their fascinating history. Even though the façade, originally built as a half-timbered house, is now plastered, the characteristic architecture has been preserved, especially inside the building.In 1992 and 1993, the entire building was extensively renovated, with great emphasis placed on preserving its historical character without sacrificing modern comforts.The first floor of the building houses a versatile commercial unit, which extends over several levels and covers an area of approx. 148 m². A total of five rooms of different sizes are available here, which can be used individually. A WC, which is ideal for customers, was newly installed in 2022 and another WC is located in the stairwell. This is practical as it provides a separate staff toilet.Most recently, this space was used as a salesroom and workshop, but a change of use would also allow it to be used for catering purposes.The house is completed by the residential unit on the upper floor and attic.The unit offers a generous living space of around 177 m² and therefore plenty of room to develop. On the upper floor, a spacious cooking and dining area invites you to linger. Adjacent to this is a practical storage room and a room that can be used as a TV room or study, for example. A bedroom and the spacious main bathroom with shower and whirlpool bath, which is perfect for relaxing and has direct access to the bedroom, complete this floor.An impressive room, which offers plenty of space and radiates cozy warmth thanks to an electric sandstone stove, is located on the top floor. There is also an adjoining office and a WC. A small staircase leads to the rear, second part of the house, where there is another bathroom with a shower and a cozy room. An additional room has been created in the next section, which can also be reached via a staircase.In addition to the heating, which is a hybrid central heating system powered by gas and an air heat pump, there is enough space in the basement for a washing machine, a dryer and extra storage space.Outside, a further room allows for a variety of uses, be it as a workshop, storage or hobby room. There is also a gated carport for one or two cars in the rear courtyard.This unique building with a lot of history offers the opportunity to move into or invest in a historic ambience that has retained its special charm over the centuries and still offers a lot of potential. Take advantage of this opportunity to make the most of it. Bring in your individual ideas and continue the story.
