INTERIOR
This extremely bright, newly renovated apartment in an old building is located in Wilmersdorf, right on the border with Schöneberg. Located on the 3rd floor, it has the classic features that lovers of old buildings appreciate.

As soon as you enter the apartment, you can feel the need for recognition of the former residents who settled in such apartments in the spacious entrance with its opening axes of vision. There are three rooms on the street side, the first of which is closed and equipped with floorboards and is very well suited as a bedroom, study or guest room. The other two rooms are connected by a large opening, and a sliding door leads from the living room to the "Berliner Zimmer" on the courtyard side. These three rooms form the heart of the apartment, their floors are covered with classic herringbone parquet. From here you can go further into the private wing, in which there are 2.5 bedrooms and the daylight bathroom. A guest toilet is available next door.

The double casement windows with their decorative latticework are mostly original, as are the coffered door panels and wall openings with the old door frames.

All of the walls were newly plastered and smoothed and given various beige nuances such as "Lime White", "Matchstick" or "Stirabout" from the English premium brand Farrow & Ball. The ceilings remained white. Soft colors and color nuances, finely tuned, especially to the wooden floor, characterize the overall appearance and create a unique harmony.

The daylight bathroom is equipped with a bathtub and rain shower, the fittings are from Grohe. The white French tiles correspond with the chessboard-like floor tiles and thus underline the old building flair of the apartment.

Restrained design with a keen sense for found forms and materials, which have been staged in a new way with beautiful color combinations. In addition, a few special design objects that stand for exceptional taste: an example of more beautiful living with a focus on the essentials.

EXTERIOR
The building from 1911 is typical Wilhelminian architecture with a front building and garden house with a well-kept, green inner courtyard. The style of the architecture is typically neoclassical - linear, geometric, clear. Window formats with the rung structure and arrangement, bay windows and the triangular gable as the roof end correspond to this design language. Symmetry and order are also clearly recognizable. There is only decorative stucco on the bay window to optically enhance the zone between the windows. The entrance portal is also visually emphasized by its own roof.

Perfectly renovated, the building blends harmoniously into the surrounding old buildings, enhanced by the avenue trees on both sides of the street. The small strip in the front garden is also part of the well-groomed appearance, which can of course also be found in the entrance: a vaulted ceiling, historical ball lights, pedestal with square wooden banister rods and classic floor ceramics were used here. The gray walls provide brightness. Cleanliness and sophistication can thus be experienced.

LOCATION
The Bavarian Quarter (called the Bayerische Viertel in German) is one of the most desirable residential areas on the border between Wilmersdorf and Schöneberg. It was built and laid out between 1900 and 1914 with elegant apartment buildings in the southern German Renaissance style, neat front gardens, small decorative squares and even its own subway station. The bourgeoisie was impressed and artists, lawyers and intellectuals quickly settled in the perfectly developed and green district.

It still exudes this charm today and offers perfect quality of life in a big city. Added to this are cafés such as 60 Grad (delicious Egg Benedicts!), small shops such as Ariston with lots of delicious Greek products or the Bieberbau for culinary highlights. Shopping for daily needs can be conveniently done in Edeka Stepaniak or in Nahkauf Oelmann.

You are ideally connected via the underground lines U4 and U7 from Bayerischer Platz, which is a 4-minute walk away. Innsbrucker Platz can be reached in around 15 minutes and from here you can take the S-Bahn, U-Bahn and various bus lines. The long-distance train station Südkreuz is only about 7 minutes away by car and the BER can be reached in about 25 minutes by car.
