Flat for sale 4+1 • 108 m² without real estateEschenstraße, 2 Berlin Friedenau Berlin 12161

This apartment is located in a representative Gründerzeit building from 1905 and impresses with the classic old-building charm of that era. High ceilings, spacious room proportions, and the historic building fabric give the apartment a special atmosphere that only buildings from this period can offer.

The apartment is intentionally sold unrenovated and is aimed at buyers who appreciate the appeal of personal development. Here you have the opportunity to design the apartment entirely according to your own ideas – architecturally, creatively, and economically.

Advantages of the unrenovated handover:

- Lower ancillary purchase costs, since these apply only to the actual purchase price

- Tax advantages for listed building renovations: a large part (up to 90%) of the officially recognized renovation costs can be claimed as tax deductions in the case of owner-occupancy

- Maximum freedom of design with regard to layout, equipment, and finish

- Attractive also for investors: after a comprehensive renovation, the apartment can likely be rented out beyond the rental cap for the first time

- No broker commission

The building is in a well-maintained condition; essential communal aspects (roof, staircase) have already been addressed, and a solid maintenance reserve is available.

Whether as a high-quality owner-occupied home or a long-term capital investment, this apartment offers the rare opportunity to combine old-building quality, economic advantages, and individual design.

This extraordinary old apartment in a Gründerzeit building from 1905, which is under monument protection, merges classic Berlin old-building flair with modern living comfort. The four-story rental building, designed and built for his own use by architect Josef Becker, impresses with its asymmetrical, picturesque street façade featuring Art Nouveau elements.

The listed building not only stands out for its architecture but also for its central yet quiet location in Friedenau. The attic, including the energy-efficient roofing renovation with a new slate covering, was renovated in 2017, and the staircase was last renovated in 2024. The front garden is enclosed by a stylish Art Nouveau fence, which further emphasizes the building’s historic charm.

The picturesque residential street is part of an architecturally significant ensemble. Here you live in a quiet, green environment while enjoying excellent access to Berlin’s vibrant districts.

The micro-location is characterized by the walkable accessibility of the popular Rüdesheimer Platz with its diverse shopping opportunities, weekly market, and the renowned wine festival.

Neighborhood culture is highly valued in Friedenau, marked by numerous cafés, galleries, restaurants, and specialty boutiques that offer unique items.

A playground just around the corner, a short walk to the popular Volkspark Wilmersdorf or a bike ride to Domäne Dahlem, along with many daycares and schools in the immediate vicinity, make Friedenau a highly sought-after residential area for intellectually inclined young families.

In the broader area, Berlin’s southwest (Zehlendorf, Wannsee) and City-West (Kurfürstendamm, KaDeWe) are quickly accessible – whether by car, bicycle, or public transportation. The S- and U-Bahn station Bundesplatz (serving the Ringbahn and U9), U-Bahn station Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz (U9), and the U-Bahn station Rüdesheimer Platz (U3) are within walking distance.
