Living on the first floor with high ceilings, stucco ornaments, casement windows, original herringbone parquet - everything that the Wilhelminian style architecture prepared is lovingly preserved here and combined with up-to-date living comfort.
INTERIOR
Located on the Beletage, the rooms of this approx. 132 m² apartment are oriented on the one hand to the busy life of the city to the east and on the other hand to the quiet courtyards to the west. A wonderful incidence of light beginning with the early morning hours in the living and dining room, as well as a quiet atmosphere in the bedroom with the adjacent balcony can be experienced. All the elements that characterize the construction of the Wilhelminian period have been preserved and staged in a contemporary way. The high ceilings, stucco ornaments, the partially original herringbone parquet flooring, the double-leaf windows. Combined with the high-quality new bathrooms, the comfortable kitchen and the spotlights in the suspended ceiling in each case - an attractive arc of tension from old to new.
The imposing double-leaf transom door welcomes you in. Characterized by light and brightness, it grants access to this representative old building apartment.
The floor plan is designed in such a way that from the hallway on the left you enter a partially separated wing, consisting of two opposite rooms, as well as the centrally placed hallway area. Due to the similar size of the two rooms and the proximity to one of the two bathrooms, this part of the apartment is ideal as a children's, guest or work area.
To the right all further rooms of this charming and generously cut apartment are opened. The original herringbone parquet flooring in the entrance area exudes exactly the charm that is so typical of this Wilhelminian architecture. It makes you curious about what is yet to come.
The living and dining rooms are located directly next to each other in an eastern orientation and grant each other access. Looking from one room into the other is like looking at a work of art - the original preserved historical floor framed by the white painted profiled door frame. The stucco ornaments and molding, both in white, do the rest, visually standing out against the walls in a warm sandy hue. A calming and equally invigorating effect.
The sheer floor-to-ceiling casement windows provide a wonderful influx of light from the early hours of the morning, while at the same time allowing for ease of use with their fixed skylights. Both rooms are located opposite the kitchen and are therefore ideal for use as a living or dining room.
The bedroom of about 21 m² has a very special living comfort with its orientation to the inner courtyard. Ensuite bathroom, small separate dressing room, as well as its own access to the approx. 15 m² balcony. Even with the ceiling suspended for the spotlights, the room height is still a stately 2.90 m. The special incidence of light through the doors to the balcony and bathroom makes the real wood plank floor shine warmly and provides a pleasant and comfortable room climate.
The adjacent bathroom combines old and new in an exciting way and thus exudes a very unique and special charm. In 2013, the bathrooms were last updated to the latest standards. The master bathroom with walk-in shower and feel-good rain shower, white ceramic fixtures for a clean look, the tiles on the walls and floor in warm light sand tones and as a special eye-catcher the back wall of the shower in natural stone look. The room gets daylight through the double-leaf window overlooking the courtyard.
Also in the kitchen, the special design was ideally raised to today's standards. The in 2013 custom-made fitted kitchen offers in addition to the brand electrical appliances including steamer, as well as the integrated wine refrigerator and an extraordinary storage space, everything in terms of comfort what a contemporary cooking demands. The granite countertop, with its rounded overhang, doubles as a counter for a quick breakfast in the morning or espresso in the afternoon. A structural alcove is perfectly used as storage space for washer and dryer.
The direct access to the approx. 15 m² balcony makes it easy to enjoy the lovingly prepared food outdoors. Or to prepare the BBQ right there. Thanks to the orientation to the inner courtyards and the elevated position on the 1st floor, it is possible to sit, eat and enjoy here in peace. A view into the treetops of the courtyards typical for the Wilhelminian architecture included. Quiet, shady and idyllic, the decor of the Eisengländer underlines this place of well-being.
The guest bathroom comfortably rounds off the space on offer on the Beletage. Designed in the same style as the master bathroom, it offers the same level of comfort with a rain shower, glass shower door and natural light.
The color concept runs like a thread through all the rooms of this fantastically beautiful apartment. Warm, discreet and harmoniously placed with light accents.
EXTERIOR
A typical turn-of-the-century townhouse with a lavishly decorated facade and richly detailed design elements. This work of art already picks up its viewer at the gate and tells of events of bygone days, marked by upswing and urbanization.
The pedestal area made of red natural sandstone reaches a height of up to 4,50 m on the facade in the direction of the street. The window jambs in elaborate natural sandstone elements, the historic balcony railings mounted on sandstone brackets, and the historic sandstone ornaments on the eaves all contribute to the special overall appearance of this property. The building with six residential units and a store on the lower floor is a listed building.
Also in the staircase, the access impresses its visitors, as already promised from the outside. The historic iron railing lined by the warm real wood handrail leads over the terrazzo floor up to the 1st floor. Representative and rich in detail, steeped in history and simply beautiful.
To the apartment belongs a lockable cellar compartment in the house. The lease for a car parking space in the courtyard can be taken over on request.
