INTERIOR
This elegant duplex penthouse spans two levels, offering a stylish and functional living space.

The first level features a spacious open area combining the living room and kitchen, equipped with an elegant black granite worktop. This space connects to a terrace on the right side. There is a children's room, a guest room next to it (one of them could of course also be used as a home office), and a guest bathroom. A small storage room is also located near the guest room. The left side includes a balcony accessible from all rooms on that side, while the right side has a terrace connected to the living and kitchen area. Particularly noteworthy is the northwest-facing terrace on the lower level, which offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy the evening sun to the fullest. A sleek steel staircase leads to the second level.

The upper level contains a bedroom, a bathroom with a bathtub and double sink, and a dressing room. There is also access to a private south-east facing roof terrace adjacent to the bedroom. The staircase from the lower level leads to a small hallway connecting these rooms.

The apartment features timeless wood parquet flooring and two bathrooms with large anthracite tiles, adding to its modern aesthetic. An elevator provides easy access to the penthouse, which is just steps away from Eppendorfer Weg and the vibrant Generalsviertel neighborhood. The combination of stylish interior elements, exposed wooden beams, and well-designed outdoor spaces makes this penthouse a unique and highly desirable residence.

EXTERIOR
The building showcases a sleek, modernist facade characterized by its crisp white exterior and clean geometric lines. Symmetrically arranged windows and recessed balconies establish a sense of balance and visual rhythm, adding depth to the overall structure. Originally built in the 1960s, the building was carefully expanded in 2019, seamlessly integrating modern touches into the original architectural concept. During the expansion, the penthouse was rebuilt and extended.

Atop the structure, a striking gable roof with a zinc covering integrates the modern roof extension effortlessly. The large windows of the extended section flood the interiors with natural light, enhancing the bright and airy ambiance. A small triangular roof frames the entrance, painted in a bold blue—a subtle yet eye-catching contrast against the otherwise neutral palette. Mature trees surrounding the building soften the urban setting, creating a natural and harmonious connection with the environment.

The entrance exudes understated sophistication. Black terrazzo steps lead to a spacious landing adorned with beige patterned tiles, adding warmth and texture. The smooth black terrazzo staircase is paired with a black-and-white railing, offering a refined contrast. Overhead, a classic 1960s-style chandelier casts a soft, ambient glow, completing the entrance’s timeless and elegant aesthetic.

LOCATION
Gärtnerstrasse perfectly blends urban vibrancy with charming character. The street features a diverse architectural mix, where elegant Wilhelminian-style buildings stand alongside post-war structures and modern designs, giving the neighborhood a unique and dynamic aesthetic.
