This amazing roof apartment with loft atmosphere is on two levels and has a large 40sqm south-west facing terrace which has privacy and receives sun well into the evening.

The whole apartment benefits from incredible natural light from all sides and so at all times of day.

The floor plan and usage options are very flexible. The property is therefore perfect for a large and growing family: the apartment can be re-modelled over time to suit your family’s changing needs.

The levels are joined by an internal staircase but this can also be sealed in order to use the two levels as separate apartments if desired.

The living area is extremely spacious. The high ceilings and very numerous (wooden, double glazed) windows bring in lots of light.

On the roof level there is a very large open living/cooking/dining area, a separate sizable cosy living room with real fire, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Here is also the large south-west terrace. Both main rooms have floor to ceiling windows to the terrace. The terrace hosts an additional toilet and also a mini-bedroom/”tree-house”. The mini-bedroom was formerly a sauna, which could be re-installed.

On the level below there are three rooms, including an open kitchen installed in one of them, plus a further modern bathroom with shower.

The flooring throughout the property is attractive: partly original wooden floorboards (fourth floor), partly extremely stable and expensive cross-grained timber parquet (roof level), which further enhances the loft-character.

Some of the flexible usage options are potentially as follows, although the list is by no means exhaustive. The only limitation is your creativity:

– Use the whole of the two levels (connected by existing internal staircase) as a large family apartment with up to five bedrooms.
– Have an office on the 4th floor (incl. kitchen plus bathroom with shower), with two rooms or three rooms. For own-use or for renting out.
– Use the 4th floor as a holiday or short-term rental with three rooms, kitchen and bathroom. Holiday rental income in excess of 2.000 EUR/month should be achievable.
– Use a small part of the upper level as a holiday rental, with its own entrance from the staircase. One room or two rooms, plus bathroom with shower. Holiday rental income in excess of 1.500 EUR/month should be achievable.
– Guest apartment on the lower level.
– Child/granny apartment on the lower level.
