In the heart of Kreuzberg, Altbau, high ceilings, original wooden floors, original double doors, cooking with gas, balcony. Are there any more boxes to tick?
This vacant three-room apartment is on a high first floor: the ground floor below it is actually a high “Hochparterre” (raised ground floor) with a Souterrain level underneath that. Therefore, the apartment is bright and has windows on both sides. The living area faces south and receives sun across the floor. This will look even better after exposing the original wooden floorboards.
The original wooden flooring has been exposed in one of the rooms but is also still in place underneath the laminate flooring in the other two rooms.
The two front rooms still have the attractive original “Doppelkasten-Fenster” windows. The windows to the rear were replaced at the end of 2015 when the rear balcony was installed.
All rooms have attractive original doors, including two sets of double doors.
The apartment is heated via its own gas boiler (Gasetagenheizung) which is thermostat controlled. This means full year-round control over the apartment’s temperature all-year-round. It also means that the apartment has its own gas supply and therefore gas cooking is available.
The ceilings are 3,40m high. The ceiling in the largest room has been lowered by 20cm. This largest room is a very generous 23m².
The building is small with only 12 apartments; so the owners’ community is a very manageable size.
The building itself is in very good shape and has undergone renovations in recent years.
– At the end of 2015 the rear balconies were installed, the rear façade refurbished, and new rear windows fitted.
– In January 2017 the cellar was remodeled and waterproofed.
– The entrance area and staircase were recently refurbished.
– The roof is already made into apartments and these had a dormer added in October 2015.
The property has an attractive rear courtyard.
