INTERIOR
When you enter the spacious old building apartment, you first come into the central hallway, which opens up the front area of ​​the apartment. On the one hand, there is the large bedroom, next to it the so-called balcony room, which offers access to the west-facing balcony via a door and can be used as a versatile room.

Adjacent to this is the living room, the largest room in the apartment, which offers plenty of space for cozy furnishings and is ideal as a central lounge area. To the left is a shower room, and next to it is the dining area, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen is modern and elegant with matt, dark gray fronts. A green tiled mirror in the "subway style" sets a stylish accent, while the simple stainless steel extractor hood is functionally integrated. The large window with a white frame lets in plenty of daylight and harmonizes with the light walls and the classic stucco decoration on the ceiling.

A second bedroom, tucked away beyond the kitchen, offers a sense of privacy. Adjacent to it is a luxurious bathroom complete with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and Finnish sauna for two - adding a touch of spa-like indulgence.

The apartment was completely rebuilt and renovated to a high standard in 2023. The renovation includes all important elements, including the renewal of the beams and the integration of high-quality stucco from the plasterer. The impact and sound insulation was also carried out to the highest standard, which gives the apartment both a quiet living feeling and excellent acoustic properties.

Throughout the apartment, new elegantly laid herringbone parquet flooring enhances the cohesive design, exuding warmth and sophistication. Renovated to the highest standards only one year ago in 2023, this residence seamlessly balances its historic charm with modern comforts, offering a layout that smartly separates living, sleeping, and relaxation areas while maintaining a natural flow.

OTHER
The kitchen and rear bedroom both feature newly installed wooden double-glazed windows, offering both charm and energy efficiency. The apartment is equipped with a modern Philips Hue lighting system and smart thermostats, all conveniently controlled through apps for effortless living. Additionally, the space is beautifully bright year-round but remains comfortably cool in the summer, thanks to its brand-new insulation.

EXTERIOR
This building exemplifies early 20th-century architecture with a clean, symmetrical facade in a soft cream tone. Graceful arched windows and understated ornamental details lend an air of timeless elegance, while compact wrought iron balconies add both charm and functionality. Trees frame the structure, drawing attention to its harmonious proportions and understated sophistication. The overall aesthetic feels light, inviting, and distinctly urban.

The entrance continues this classic appeal, combining thoughtful details with a refined design. A dark wooden door with frosted glass panels and a curved skylight allows soft natural light to filter in, while marble wainscoting and cream-colored walls create a polished backdrop. A patterned tiled floor introduces a subtle touch of tradition, complemented by elaborate crown moldings and a vintage chandelier, completing the space with understated luxury.

The staircase is equally striking, featuring a wooden railing with intricately turned balusters. A deep red carpet runner with a subtle pattern lends a formal elegance to the steps, while large multi-pane windows flood the space with daylight, enhancing its airy ambiance. Simple white walls with wooden accents tie the design together, underscoring the building’s architectural heritage while maintaining a sense of modern simplicity.
