With around 1,113 square meters of living space, this home offers an exceptionally spacious living environment. Twenty-one stylishly designed rooms and seven elegant bathrooms form the architectural foundation of a house that combines representation and retreat in perfect harmony. Classic floor plans and flowing transitions create openness and light - each floor tells its own story, each room follows a design concept that combines spaciousness with fine details.
The elevated ground floor, covering around 234 sqm, is approved for freelance or professional use and combines five generous rooms - connected by grand double doors - with a kitchen, bathroom, and guest WC. It’s an ensemble that seamlessly blends living and working in an elegant setting.
On the first floor, the spacious layout continues in a separate apartment: five light-filled rooms, high double doors, two stylish bathrooms, a kitchen, and a guest WC - all visually connected through sightlines that draw the eye toward the River Main and the Frankfurt skyline.
Starting on the second floor, a 580-square-meter residential unit extends over three levels: The second floor offers four rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom - quietly located and versatile in use. From here, a double staircase leads internally to the third floor above. Here there are another four rooms, complemented by a bathroom and a separate toilet. The attic has been converted into an airy studio measuring around 96 square meters, which opens to the south onto a 34-square-meter roof terrace with an outdoor shower. Complemented by another bathroom and two practical storage rooms, this creates a refuge above the rooftops of the city - light, spacious, and private.
The basement level, which is at ground level facing the courtyard, offers a separate two-room unit with a kitchen and bathroom that can be used in a variety of ways - whether for domestic staff, an au pair, or a caretaker. This level is complemented by six functional ancillary rooms, including laundry, heating, and storage rooms.
The staircase, a true masterpiece with its delicate wrought-iron balustrades, runs through the building with understated elegance. A discreetly integrated elevator - serving all levels from the lower ground to the top floor, except the attic - provides direct, seamless access throughout, combining functionality with refined design.
In the courtyard, a double garage and at least three additional parking spaces offer discreet luxury, completing the functional sophistication of this city palace in style.
EXTERIOR
Timeless yet entirely present. Built around 1890, the city palace on Schaumainkai stands as a steadfast landmark amidst Frankfurt’s ever-changing urban landscape. Its neoclassical facade is a study in proportion, restraint, and permanence. Rusticated base, cornice bands, delicate reliefs, and balustrades lend the structure a quiet rigor and rhythmic clarity. A distinct accent is set by the corner tower - never imposing, but watchful. With understated sovereignty, it overlooks the Museum Embankment, crowned by a slender weather vane that barely stirs in the breeze. French balconies, wrought-iron railings, and windows with original wooden shutters - each element reflects care and an appreciation for substance and continuity. Nothing seeks attention; everything belongs. Its grandeur lies in the details. The entrance, shielded by a solid gate, opens to a well-tended front garden that creates a gracious distance from the street.
LOCATION
Sometimes a place is more than just a dot on the map - it’s a feeling. Schaumainkai is one of those rare places. Nestled right on the riverbank, facing the shimmering skyline, it’s where light dances across the water and the city seems to pause for breath. Here, Frankfurt’s cultural heart meets the quiet elegance of another era. Museums line the promenade like thoughtful footnotes: the Städel, the Liebieghaus, the Museum of Applied Arts - all just steps away. But what defines this place isn’t its proximity to the city’s buzz - it’s the space in between: the slow stroll, the quiet pause on a bench, the soft sense of arrival. The Brückenviertel, with its ateliers, cafés, and antique shops, lies just around the corner - as do the New Old Town, the banking district, and the opera. And still, a sense of gentle restraint lingers - a near-monastic calm that’s become rare in the tempo of this ever-moving metropolis.
