Built in 1914, this substantial period property occupies a central position in Albstadt-Ebingen. Designed in the Art Nouveau style, it is distinguished by its symmetrical south-facing corner pavilions, detailed natural stone facade and columned portico. Original decorative plaster ceilings and a vaulted entrance hall with marble panelling have been preserved. The property underwent extensive renovation between 2008 and 2016.
The main entrance is beneath the portico at the front of the house, while a second entrance leads in from the rear garden. This arrangement allows the ground floor to be used independently from the living accommodation above. With 313.7 sq m of living space and a further 169.9 sq m of ancillary space, the property offers scope for both residential and professional use. The ground floor is currently arranged as a separate office suite, while the upper floors provide the main living accommodation.

Architectural heritage
The house was designed by Heinrich Maas of Obertürkheim in 1913–14 for the client Walter Daiber. A profiled stone plaque on the facade commemorates the building's construction. Its oval centre bears the client's gilded initials, framed by sculpted oak leaves and accompanied by the year of construction.
