INTERIOR
This charming attic apartment facing east-west is located between the roofs of the northern Bergmann neighborhood. The west terrace, closed to the sides, invites you to eat and drink outdoors in small groups. And when the rain hits the windows in the sloping roofs, there is no place more romantic.

The apartment was expanded in 2006 and completely renovated in 2017, so the approximately 55m² living space is hardly interrupted by walls. Only the bedroom and bathroom are separated, while the open living and kitchen area makes up the largest part of the apartment. The spatial progression still creates organic living areas that also allow for a certain degree of privacy. The apartment also appears spacious thanks to the ceiling, which is up to 3.40m high at the ridge.

A warm living atmosphere is created by the interaction of the off-white plastered walls with the oak floorboards laid throughout the apartment. The subtle gray open kitchen with appliances from Miele and Bosch matches this.

The square bathroom looks spacious and has a lockable space for the washing machine and dryer. The fittings from Steinberg and the ceramics from Duravit are timeless and valuable. And luxury is not too big a word for the large, threshold-free rain shower.

In the bedroom facing the quiet courtyard, restful nights are guaranteed, and if that's not enough, you can count the stars through the skylight to fall asleep.

EXTERIOR
Kreuzberg's cityscape is characterized by architecture from the turn of the 20th century - Wilhelminian style facades everywhere. The property here also contributes to the beautiful overall appearance with its perforated façade consisting of the same, high window formats, the centrally placed bay windows arranged one above the other, the stucco decoration above the windows, the base set off with a small frieze and the representative entrance portal. Together with the reserved colors, it fits perfectly into the image of the street.

The interior is also characterized by the charm of historic buildings. High hallways, a round arch that takes up the shape of the entrance door, stairs with turned balusters, delicate lattice windows, historic apartment entrance doors, etc. testify to the solid craftsmanship of previous generations. All of this was carefully prepared. An aesthetic whole has been created with the color-graded tones of black, white and gray; beautiful in its reservedness. Here, as a resident, you experience aesthetics and sophistication. Beautiful living in Kreuzberg, just as the builders intended and implemented it at the time.

LOCATION
Some call the Bergmannkiez the heart of Kreuzberg, because there are beautiful old buildings, hip cafes, a little junk and a lot of food. From Monday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, cheese and other regional delicacies in the Marheineke market hall, just a 5-minute walk from the apartment. On the adjacent Bergmannstrasse you can stroll along the many boutiques, stroll and of course shop. Afterwards you can lick a delicious ice cream with Vanille & Marille on the way to the beautiful, green Viktoriapark. And of course there are plenty of cafés, this is where the true café culture actually originated: be it the Cabana Coffee Roasters, the Barcomi's Kaffeerösterei or the Chapter One Coffee.

Those who really want to get away are ideally connected via the Gneisenaustrasse underground station, several bus lines from Blücherstrasse or one of the many car-sharing offers. Thus, you can reach the main station in about 15 minutes and BER airport in approx. 30 minutes.
