INTERIOR
This villa in Dahlem has a base floor, raised ground floor, 1st floor and an attic that has not yet been developed, which has large room heights due to the hipped roof shape so that it can be used as additional living space. This leads to a total living area of ​​420 m² (including the basement and the developed roof). The property has 880 m² and is secluded due to its elevated position compared to street level (2 m difference).

The 11 rooms are spread over the different levels. On the mezzanine floor there is a living room with a lush bay window, a master bedroom, an open kitchen and dining area with a door to the terrace and garden, a former kitchen with a pantry (now a washing machine and dryer area) and a guest toilet.

The mezzanine floor and the 1st floor are connected by a very large, high staircase. The design of the building was based on representation. Visitors and residents experienced an expanse and spaciousness that is still fascinating today.

A second staircase in the building (from the mezzanine floor to the basement floor) was reserved for the staff and the suppliers. This separation has also been preserved to this day.

On the 1st floor there are master bedrooms, 2 children's rooms, dressing room, 2 large bathrooms, each with a bathtub, shower and double washbasin and balcony or terrace. This space alone exudes pure luxury.

The basement, which can almost be described as the ground floor, contains the guest apartment, work room, meeting room, storage room, boiler room, etc. - that is, there is enough space / space.

The authenticity of the villa can of course be found inside and outside. This includes the room sizes with their room heights (approx. 3.2 m) and the merging through two-leaf, high door elements with glass cassettes. Pure spatial experience, combined with views between the rooms and the garden. Stucco, windows of various formats structured by bars, oak parquet laid in the shape of ears, wooden radiator cladding, historical door frames with matching door leaves, etc. reflect the full splendor of this era. Panels, especially those in the staircase, are also included here.

The dominance of the preservation of the old can also be felt on the first floor. Details such as the old brass window handles or the wooden railing to the stairwell can be mentioned here. From up here you can also experience the spaciousness of the staircase, through the view from the gallery back to the entrance. A small highlight here is the oval window to the former kitchen.

In addition to the history, renovations play an essential role in the function and overall appearance of this villa. Ambitiously designed bathrooms with elements from Duravit and various other technical innovations guarantee comfort that meets the expectations of 2020. Of course, the kitchen is also a highlight - a large kitchen block by Bulthaup with stainless steel worktop, Gaggenau gas hob (5-burner), Gutmann exhaust system (in the block), retractable socket strip, double door stainless steel refrigerator with ICE maker, separate oven tower with Gaggenau steamer and oven, Siemens dishwasher - and all at working height.

The outside area is of course also designed to be sophisticated. The landscaped garden with partly old trees and an irrigation system also offers a paved barbecue area, a garden shed, a sandpit, a recessed trampoline and an illuminated facade for the evening moments.

Other highlights include: video intercom, alarm system with video surveillance, paved driveway with large metal gates, flanked by large white pillars and a separate pedestrian gate.

A feel-good atmosphere is a very appropriate term that describes this property. A cultivated environment is also part of it, and that in the elegant Dahlem district.

EXTERIOR
The building dates from 1911 and is one of the classic, historicist country houses. Striking elements here are the mighty hipped roof, the cube-shaped structure with restrained loosening by bay windows and entrance stairs with roofing, the basement level framed by sandstone shaped as a rustic facade and the small sprouting of the large standing rectangular and oval window formats.

The entire appearance of the villa is characterized by a wealth of variety and diversity that result in a skilful whole. This building exudes splendor, dignity, grandeur. History in one of the most beautiful forms that can be experienced directly. This is striking in that such gems are rarely available without well-intentioned interventions, which, however, affect the great overall impression rather than enhance it. Here you get authentic architectural history with all its qualities, which of course also includes the environment. Tree-lined avenues on both sides, including the paving of the street and sidewalk, magnificent gardens with large, tall trees and preserved fences, bricked with the associated wooden or iron railings, are among them.

One lives here in the tradition of upper-class living without having to forego the comforts of the present. This of course includes the car, for which a garage is available on the property. Historic architecture paired with mature green create this unique ambience that you can experience here. Something special for connoisseurs and people who appreciate it.
