Below is the translated text:

Above the rooftops of Berlin-Friedrichshain, a unique top-floor apartment awaits you in a tastefully renovated historic building. The front building comprises only eight units – a number that ensures a pleasantly quiet and personal community. During the renovation, the entire top floor was added as new construction on top of the existing old building, thereby merging the historic structure with contemporary architecture.

The apartment presents itself with an open, almost atelier-like character spread over two levels. Generous ceiling heights of up to approximately 5.00 meters lend the rooms an expansive feel and a distinctive architectural appeal. A mezzanine creates additional open space – ideal as a sleeping area, home office, or retreat – while simultaneously providing a natural division between the living and private areas.

The layout intentionally emphasizes openness and is especially suited for singles or couples who appreciate a modern living style with plenty of air and light, without the constraints of a traditional room division. The usable living area amounts to around 85.25 m²; however, because the balcony and mezzanine are only partially counted, the apartment appears significantly more spacious. The expansive balcony with an unobstructed view is a true highlight, harmoniously extending the living area outdoors.

There is possibly an option to install a fireplace. The owners’ association has already approved such a measure; however, the actual implementation is to be carried out by the purchaser in consultation with the responsible chimney sweep.

The apartment is currently unoccupied and available for immediate move-in. The property is offered commission-free directly by the owner.

Location

The apartment is situated on a quiet side street, which has recently been traffic-calmed, in the popular Berlin district of Friedrichshain. Just a few minutes' walk away, the vibrant Boxhagener Platz—with its weekly market, charming cafés, restaurants, and small shops—invites you to stroll and linger. Buses, trams, and the U-Bahn station Samariterstraße (Line U5) are conveniently accessible on foot, providing swift connections to the city center, Berlin Central Station, and Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The neighborhood combines typical Berlin district life with opportunities for retreat: green spaces, quiet inner courtyards, and small alleyways offer places to relax, while numerous shops, dining options, and cultural venues lie just around the corner.

Building

The property is a front building in an old structure that was comprehensively modernized by 2017. During this renovation, the roof, façade (including stucco details), windows, main entrance, and the complete building systems were renewed. The top floor was entirely added as new construction on top of the existing old building. The amenities include a central gas condensing heating system, renewed riser lines, and a modern electrical installation. New doorbell and mailbox systems, along with a newly designed inner courtyard featuring bicycle parking, complete the offering.

Apartment

The top-floor apartment, constructed in 2017, features a high-quality insulated roof and insulated interior walls (Isofloc), together with new windows and a renewed floor. The choice of materials and the intelligently designed layout create an exceptionally pleasant living environment. The daylight bathroom is equipped with both a bathtub and a shower. The high-quality fitted kitchen is included in the purchase price, and the apartment is further enhanced by a burglar-resistant door. A large balcony with panoramic views and a separate basement storage compartment further expand the living space. In consultation with the responsible chimney sweep, there is a possibility of installing a fireplace – a measure already approved by the owners’ association. The apartment is handed over unfurnished.

The apartment is offered commission-free directly from the owner and is available immediately. Viewings can be arranged by appointment, and if you are interested, we are happy to provide additional documentation.

A fireplace can potentially be retrofitted – the owners’ association has already approved such a measure, but the specific implementation must be examined by the purchaser in consultation with the responsible chimney sweep.
