Popular residential area in Neukölln
The Building
The existing, period building was constructed around 1900, in the typical Berlin Altbau style, with beautiful high ceilings, wooden floors and stucco decoration, centred on a front building and side-wing. This building was modernised and partially refurbished, including the restoration of the simple, bright façade. As if this weren’t enough, an entirely new, 6-storey residential building will be raised as an annex in the courtyard, contrasting wonderfully with the existing building to form a harmonious whole.
The Apartment
This 2nd-floor, 55sqm apartment is practically divided into a kitchen with enough room for a dining table, a bedroom which looks onto the peaceful inner courtyard, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a spacious living room. The balcony opens out from here, facing south onto the quiet Jahnstrasse. With the high ceilings and large windows typical of these buildings, the apartment feels even more spacious. Sold already rented, this is a superb investment opportunity.
The Location
Though directly next to the hugely popular, busy and hip Neukölln, Britz has more of a neighbourhood feel to it. With numerous local shops, restaurants and cafes, Britz is its own, self-contained community, with plenty of green spaces and nature to explore. Yet it is also very well-connected to the rest of the city, if indeed you have any reason to leave...
