INTERIOR
This beautifully renovated 3rd-floor apartment harmonizes historical charm with modern sophistication, featuring 4.5 separate rooms and refined period details. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a vibrant orange hallway ceiling adorned with Murano glass pendant lights, creating an immediate sense of warmth and style.

On the southwest-facing street side, three rooms enjoy abundant natural light. The first room, designed as a dining area with an open kitchen, boasts a sleek white Musterring kitchen with a Corian countertop and high-end Miele and Neff appliances. An Agapecasa oval dining table beneath a Bocci ceiling light adds a modern touch, positioned before a large, latticed window that amplifies the room’s airy elegance. Double doors lead into a nearly square living room, which opens onto a balcony bathed in midday and afternoon sunlight. An electrically operated awning provides shade, making it a comfortable retreat even on hot summer days.

The third room features a ceiling-high, rose-colored wardrobe, making it an ideal children’s room, guest room, or home office, with all three street-side rooms offering pleasant views of the tree-lined street.

The serene bedroom, decorated in a rich dark green and featuring an exquisite Bocci ceiling light installation, faces the tranquil inner courtyard. Its ensuite bathroom is naturally lit and luxuriously appointed, with Duravit fixtures throughout, matching the guest bathroom’s high-quality fittings and natural lighting.

A dressing room with a floor-to-ceiling built-in closet and a separate storage room with shelving further optimize the layout.

Particularly worth mentioning are the parquet flooring laid in an elegant herringbone pattern in all rooms without thresholds and throughout and the harmonious color concept by Farrow & Ball.

The apartment is heated by central gas, and a basement storage room is also available.

EXTERIOR
The building’s façade exudes elegance with a symmetrical, five-storey design that captures the timeless appeal of classic European architecture. Its light, neutral exterior highlights the clean lines and balance created by large, multi-light windows, some of which feature graceful arches. The arched main entrance on the ground floor adds character and charm, while the mature trees flanking the building lend a warm, welcoming feel. At street level, the R-23 restaurant enhances the lively, urban atmosphere, giving the building a dynamic presence.

Upon entering, residents and guests are greeted by a grand staircase with a red carpet runner over polished white marble steps, flanked by walls accented with beige marble and classic wooden handrails. Overhead, a vintage-style chandelier with multiple white globes illuminates the entrance, while intricate stucco details on the ceiling elevate the space’s refined, historic ambiance.

LOCATION
Rankestrasse in Berlin is a charming, historic street in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, just off the famous Kurfürstendamm boulevard. Known for its elegant late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture, the street survived World War II and showcases Berlin's layered history. Close to the iconic Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Rankestrasse sits in a vibrant neighborhood filled with cozy cafés, such as The Visit, boutique shops, and restaurants (Mine and Diekmann), offering a refined alternative to the bustling Kurfürstendamm.

Public transport is easily accessible, with the Kurfürstendamm U-Bahn station just a 2-minute walk away and the Berlin Zoo train station only an 8-minute stroll, connecting you seamlessly to the rest of Berlin.
