Flat for sale 2 bedroom • 56 m² without real estateBerlin Kreuzberg Berlin 10997

Commission-free private sale of a beautiful 56 m² two-room apartment in a classic Berlin period building, covered in ivy. Located in a quiet rear wing on the ground floor, directly by the canal on Heckmannufer in the Wrangelkiez neighborhood and only a few hundred meters from the River Spree—waterside living in Berlin-Kreuzberg 36. From personal experience, the apartment is very well suited to freelancers, but it could also serve as a secure rental investment (€11–15/m² net rent excluding utilities, with little to no risk of vacancy and long-term value stability).

Thanks to its location directly on the canal, the building, constructed around 1900, offers immediate access to the highly sought-after Wrangelkiez neighborhood and the whole of Kreuzberg, with its wide range of cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as various playgrounds, daycare centers and schools, not to mention Görlitzer Park and Treptower Park. Cultural attractions such as Lido, Badeschiff, Oberbaum Bridge, the East Side Gallery, Uber Arena and The Wall Museum are all just a few minutes away on foot. The nearby public transport links—bus, subway, urban rail and tram, including Warschauer Straße and Treptower Park stations—also provide easy access to the rest of Berlin, particularly the adjacent districts of Mitte, Treptow, Friedrichshain and Neukölln. The newly opened A100 motorway further improves connectivity.

Inside, the apartment features laminate flooring, traditional double windows, paneled doors and the high ceilings typical of a period building—over 3.40 m—making it ideal for loft beds or mezzanine levels, one of which is already in place. It also offers a wonderful view of the idyllic, leafy and very quiet courtyard. As there is currently no fitted kitchen, although all necessary connections are of course available, there is considerable scope for customization. The layout could accommodate either a small, separate kitchen or a large open-plan kitchen and living area. The traditional “Berlin room” in particular could be transformed into a spacious open-plan living, dining and working area. The apartment is also part of a highly energy-conscious homeowners’ association comprising several families with children and includes its own private basement storage unit.

The heating system and hydraulic balancing were renewed in 2026, and the roof was replaced in 2020. Unfortunately, the energy performance certificate was issued before these improvements were made. The homeowners’ association has substantial maintenance reserves. The favorable purchase price, especially considering these features and the highly sought-after location, already takes into account the installation work still required.

The apartment is currently vacant and is expected to be ready for occupancy from approximately January.

Further information, photos and documents, as well as the opportunity to arrange a viewing, are available to serious prospective buyers who provide their contact details and an outline of their proposed financing.
