The Building

The ornamental building at Christianstraße 25, which was built around 1900, does not have to hide at all from its old building neighbors. Quite the opposite - with its ornate brackets, decorative heads and pilasters, it stands out pleasantly. Particularly eye-catching are the richly decorated wrought-iron balconies on the street-side facade, which are a rarity even in the Waldstrasse district, which is spoiled by old buildings. The staircase is similarly impressive. Historic tiles, stucco decorations, wall paintings and doors also bear witness here to the high architectural art of the Gründerzeit. The fact that old building charm and modern living comfort can very well go hand in hand is proven by an elevator and the careful renovation of the apartments for sale, which are equipped with modern air conditioning units and are distributed over three standard floors, the ground floor and the attic. There is also a commercial unit on the first floor. For practical everyday concerns there is a garbage room, cellar rooms and four car parking spaces.

The Apartment

This 4-room apartment shows true greatness. Around 151 square meters thereby offer more than enough space for couples or families who want to build a new home between the freshly renovated old building walls. The courtyard-facing rooms were fitted with new parquet floors as part of the renovation, while the original parquet floors of the street-facing, stuccoed rooms were expertly refurbished. Three of the four living rooms are connected with two stately double doors. Another separate room provides privacy. The day-lit shower/tub bathroom is complemented by a practical anteroom and a guest WC. Both bathrooms impress with modern design, the quality products of renowned manufacturers as well as wall and floor tiles in subtle natural tones. The cozy kitchen is also adjoined by a winter garden, from which the tranquility of the courtyard can be enjoyed year-round. A wrought-iron balcony faces the old-style Christianstraße and is the icing on the cake of the extremely livable overall package.

The Location

Not far from Leipzig's main train station, yet one of the greenest districts of the Saxon metropolis: small parks, the wide meadows of the Elster basin and the densely overgrown floodplain forest make up around two-thirds of the center-northwest area. The latter is also home to the Leipzig Zoo with its aquarium and world-famous Gondwanaland, which attracts animal lovers of all ages to its lovingly designed terrariums and enclosures every day. The Waldstraßenviertel, located in the northwestern part of the city center, is similarly attractive. Europe's largest comprehensively preserved Wilhelminian quarter was largely spared in the bombing raids of the Second World War and was expertly and faithfully restored in the course of a later major renovation. The result is impressive, as one cannot and will not get enough of the numerous richly decorated facades. Meanwhile, the many surrounding restaurants, cafés and boutiques prove that the Waldstraßenviertel has arrived in the here and now. It's no wonder that the neighborhood around Christianstraße is one of Leipzig's most popular - the perfect mix of friendly residents, aesthetic old building surroundings, green urban oases and culinary diversity is what makes it so charming.
