Introduction
The stunning Art Nouveau villa is a historical landmark and registered cultural monument. Its location in the quiet and popular Stettbacher Tal valley, at the entrance to the Odenwald forest, is a delight. The lavishly renovated and very high-quality furnished apartment building invites residents and guests into spacious rooms with ceilings up to 3.2 m high. It offers many flexible usage options for large families as well as (partial) commercial use or rental.
The large plot of land and the natural garden, furnished with attention to detail, invite you to linger in many corners, with several terraces on different levels, connected by gravel and forest paths, accompanied by the small stream (Stettbach) that runs along the property.
Cultural Monument
Outstanding features of the cultural monument are the octagonal tower with pointed pyramid helmet, an elaborate house stone gable, historicist half-timbered figurations and rich carvings on the pillar-like posts as well as numerous sandstone figures and pillars. The building is characterized by many special architectural features. The large wooden windows with elaborate glazing bars provide plenty of daylight in the interior. Elaborately restored historic solid wood floorboards and parquet flooring made of beautiful Canadian pitch pine hardwood enliven hallways and rooms with their color tones and patterns and always ensure a very pleasant living climate. All walls have been newly plastered, with fine plaster in the hallway.
Listed cultural monuments are exempt from many (energy) regulations and offer owners interesting tax benefits. Owner-occupiers can deduct 90% (§10f) and landlords 100% (§7i) of all refurbishment costs from their income tax. In addition, the villa has already received several special awards and financial support from the lower monument protection authority. The authority’s requirements relate to the façade. The owners are free to design the interior.
