Villa Brehme is a distinguished historic landmark dating from 1897 with major extensions completed between 1910 and 1915. Located on an elevated hillside at the edge of the city forest, the villa offers exceptional views across the city of Gera while providing direct access to nature and recreational areas.
The apartment for sale is situated on the third floor and offers approximately 171 square meters of living space (about 187 square meters including terraces and balconies, calculated at 50%). Since 2012, and again in preparation for 2026, the apartment has been carefully renovated with great respect for the original building fabric. Historic features such as stucco ceilings, oak parquet flooring, original doors, and high ceilings have been preserved and complemented by modern amenities including triple-glazed windows and an updated heating system.
The apartment comprises four main rooms, a spacious eat-in kitchen, two bathrooms, a walk-in closet or guest room, one terrace, and two balconies. Notable features include a wood-burning stove in the living room and an original, hand-painted ceiling in the main bathroom.
The purchase price includes approximately €41,000 allocated for renovation works scheduled for 2026. These include refinishing the parquet floors, upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms, electrical work, selected window refurbishment, interior painting, and the renovation of the historic stairwell.
The property is heated via a gas-fired central heating system. One parking space is included, and a garage can be purchased separately. Monthly homeowners’ association fees are approximately €220, with an additional €98 allocated to the maintenance reserve. An energy certificate is not required due to the building’s listed status.
Villa Brehme is located in the sought-after Debschwitz district, surrounded by other notable historic villas and close to the garden city of Heinrichsgrün. The city center, hospital, train station, schools, daycare centers, and shopping facilities are all within walking distance. Regional rail connections provide easy access to Jena, Erfurt, and Leipzig, while the nearby A4 and A9 highways offer convenient regional and national connections.
The small homeowners’ association is cooperative and well organized.
