Flat for sale 5+1 • 156 m² without real estateNeue Bahnhofstr. 2 Berlin Friedrichshain Berlin 10245

This exceptional penthouse maisonette combines vibrant urban living with a light-filled retreat in the heart of Berlin-Friedrichshain, just a few steps from Ostkreuz station.

The apartment spans two full floors of a former historic building that was completely gutted and redesigned around 2007. During this transformation, two smaller units and the entire attic level were merged into one spacious, continuous residence. The result is an open and highly versatile living concept with distinctive character.

A particular highlight is a double-height entrance area that spans both floors, lending the apartment an impressive sense of spaciousness and architectural depth. This central feature creates a strong first impression and elegantly connects the two levels.

The slightly set-back staircase at the entrance and the top-floor location of the apartment immediately evoke a feeling of escape from the urban bustle—a peaceful retreat above the city’s rooftops.

On the lower level you will find three similarly sized rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The layout offers interesting possibilities for personalization, such as creating an open-plan living kitchen or enlarging the bathroom to suit individual tastes.

The upper level is characterized by exposed original roof beams and offers a range of potential uses. Its open structure provides space for creative design and personalized living concepts.

Currently, the apartment is rented out as a shared flat, generating an annual net cold rent of €31,200. Owner-occupancy is generally possible in coordination with the current tenants.

The apartment is located in one of Berlin’s most dynamic and sought-after areas in the heart of Friedrichshain, around Ostkreuz—one of the city’s most important transport hubs. The neighborhood surrounding Sonntagstraße is among Berlin’s liveliest and most popular residential areas. Within easy walking distance, you will find numerous cafés, restaurants, bars, and independent boutiques that shape the urban lifestyle and provide a high quality of daily living. The streets are lined with classic Berlin Altbau (old building) architecture, supplemented by select modern developments. Nearby recreational areas include the Rummelsburger Bucht waterfront, the River Spree, and Treptower Park.

Public transport connections are excellent: Ostkreuz station, serving both S-Bahn and regional trains, is only about two minutes away on foot. From there, the Ringbahn and Stadtbahn provide fast connections throughout Berlin and into the surrounding region, while Berlin Brandenburg Airport is easily accessible.

The apartment underwent extensive refurbishment in 2020 and is in a well-maintained, contemporary condition. As part of the renovation, high-quality continuous oak parquet flooring with impact sound insulation was installed throughout, lending the interior a warm, refined, and cohesive feel. Additionally, the staircase, interior doors, and railings were renewed, elevating the overall aesthetic of the apartment.

A fitted kitchen completes the apartment’s amenities.

The common areas of the property are in good, well-maintained condition, with ongoing regular upkeep. The building’s heating system was replaced in 2015.

Overall, the apartment offers a solid yet high-quality specification, making it an attractive opportunity for both long-term rental investment and future owner-occupancy.
