The penthouse apartment on Driesener Straße combines architectural generosity with finely crafted precision. The light-filled living area, with ceilings reaching up to four metres, a domed roof and fireplace, forms the heart of the home. Expansive triple-glazed timber-aluminium windows open up views across the rooftops of Prenzlauer Berg, while warm oak parquet flooring and the room’s clear geometry create a calm, elegant atmosphere. The open kitchen, fitted with bespoke Mondo cabinetry, a central island and pale marble worktops, integrates seamlessly into the overall design; a staircase leads directly to the private roof terrace, a rare retreat with sweeping views over the city.

Three bedrooms form the private quarters, two of which have access to a sunny south-facing balcony, complemented by two bathrooms and a flexible additional room for guests or dressing. Skylights flood the bathrooms with natural light, while high-quality fittings by Grohe and ceramics by Duravit underline the elevated specification. An elevator leads to the landing between the fourth and fifth floors, reinforcing the apartment’s comfortable, contemporary character, where light, structure and tranquillity are brought together in a distinctive way.

Heating and cooling are provided by underfloor heating as well as an integrated ceiling system, both powered by an efficient heat pump and supported by a gas system for peak demand; a forward-looking solution with low energy costs. Triple-glazed windows, smart aluminium louvre blinds and a controlled ventilation system ensure a pleasant indoor climate and high energy efficiency throughout the year.

The classically inspired façade, with delicate stucco detailing and an elegant gable, blends harmoniously into the quiet streetscape of the Scandinavian Quarter. In the entrance, ornamental stucco, red glazed wall tiles and patterned flooring recall the craftsmanship of the turn of the century; the staircase, with its carved wooden balustrade and soft natural light, preserves the building’s historic character and leads upward with quiet dignity to the penthouse level.

Located in the Scandinavian Quarter, just a few steps from Mauerpark and opposite Arnimplatz, the setting balances urban energy with a sense of calm. Cafés such as Kiez Kaffee Kraft, along with small boutiques and galleries, shape the neighbourhood’s distinct character. The S-Bahn stations Schönhauser Allee and Bornholmer Straße are within easy reach, offering connections to the main station in around 15 minutes and to BER Airport in approximately 35 minutes.
