Flat for sale 1 bedroom • 41 m² without real estateHauptstraße 20 Berlin Wilhelmsruh Berlin 13158

High-quality, newly developed studio apartment on the top floor in a prestigious historic stucco building, located in the green Wilhelmsruh district of Pankow, with a living area of approximately 41 m², including a bathroom, kitchenette, and balcony.

Elegant board-laid parquet flooring has been installed in the room and hallway, appropriately complemented by high old-Berlin skirting boards. The apartment is bright and welcoming. The interior shower room is lit by a skylight that brings in daytime light.

The apartment is very quiet in the side wing of the building, far removed from the noise of the main road. A generous, newly constructed 7 m² balcony overlooks the park-like area of the adjacent rear properties. The residential unit is classified as 40/1000.

Wilhelmsruh is part of the popular Pankow residential district and is well and quickly connected to the city center by public transport. At the end of the 19th century, Wilhelmsruh was one of Berlin’s villa suburbs, like Dahlem or Grunewald. Parts of this old-world charm have been preserved in the district, which in some areas still retains a small-town atmosphere. Thanks to the good public transport connections, one can still reach the busy hubs of the city center very quickly.

For instance, the building is only about a 7-minute walk from the Wilhelmsruh S-Bahn station, where the S1 to Wannsee and the S26 to Teltow operate. It is only 17 minutes to the Friedrichstraße S+U station and about 20 minutes to the Potsdamer Platz S+U station. In addition to the S-Bahn, there are nearby bus stops (for the S-Pankow, or U-Kurt-Schuhmacher-Platz, etc.). The creative art and culture center, the "Wilhelm Hallen," is only about a 10-minute walk away.

Features include:

• Wood parquet in board-laid installation.

• Heating pipes mostly embedded in the plaster.

• Interior bathroom with skylight.

• Generous 7 m² balcony.

The building, constructed in 1910 in the Berlin district of Wilhelmsruh and in family ownership for over 100 years, forms an open architectural ensemble of the Art Nouveau period together with the building at Hauptstraße 18. At the corners of both buildings, caryatid figures face each other, flanking the entrance to the oval green courtyard.

The friendly, bright Art Nouveau façade, with its understated yet richly detailed ornamentation, is complemented by the lavishly designed wrought-iron entrance door from its construction period and the original wrought-iron balcony railings. Even the historic plaster design on the rear façade was preserved and restored during the renovation. The entrance area still features the original turn-of-the-century tiles and the colorfully designed wall and ceiling stucco. The historic staircase has been largely preserved and carefully restored in accordance with monument conservation principles.

The flat roof over the unit was renovated last year. The building remained in family ownership for over 100 years. In 2020, the owner decided to gradually sell parts of the residential units. The first two apartments on the second floor of the front building were sold in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, a top floor apartment in the front building found new owners, and this year an apartment in the side wing was sold, so the owners’ association now has 5 members.
