Garden apartment with private terrace & little garden in Helmholtzkiez

INTERIOR
This garden apartment in Helmholtzkiez combines contemporary architecture with a well-structured layout and high-quality finishes. Upon entering, a generous hallway immediately stands out, offering plenty of space for wardrobes, storage, and built-in closets.

At the heart of the home lies the spacious living and dining area with its open-plan designer kitchen. A central island with stone-effect countertops and integrated AEG appliances defines the space, while oiled oak parquet and underfloor heating lend warmth to all living areas.

Floor-to-ceiling, triple-glazed windows flood the rooms with light, complemented by electric shutters that provide comfort and privacy. The living area opens onto a private terrace with an adjoining garden.

The bedroom also faces the garden and, thanks to its large windows, offers a peaceful retreat. The bathroom features both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, Villeroy & Boch fittings, and a clean, modern aesthetic.

The apartment is threshold-free and part of an energy-efficient new development built in 2013 to KfW 70 standards. Its timeless architecture integrates seamlessly into the established surroundings of the ever-popular Helmholtzkiez neighborhood.

EXTERIOR
Completed in 2013, the building presents a contemporary architectural language that sits harmoniously within its historic setting. Vertical and horizontal facade elements in warm wood tones break up the light plaster surfaces, while generous window fronts add transparency and lightness. Clean lines emphasize the modern character without disrupting the fine-grained structure of the neighborhood.

The entrance is understated yet high-quality. Warm wood paneling creates a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by minimalist lines and carefully integrated details such as flush-mounted stainless-steel mailboxes. Access is threshold-free.

LOCATION
The apartment is located in the heart of Helmholtzkiez, one of Prenzlauer Berg’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The area is defined by a lively mix of cafés, restaurants, and independent shops. Just steps away, Helmholtzplatz is a central meeting point, lined with cafés and restaurants such as ITA Bistro directly on the square. Popular spots like Zeit für Brot and Café Liebling are also within easy reach.

Transport connections are excellent: tram lines M1 and M12 stop right outside, while the U2 at Eberswalder Straße station is only a short walk away. From there, Berlin Central Station is about 15 minutes, and BER Airport around 40 minutes.
