Exclusive And Spacious Old Building Gem With Loft Character

The perfect combination of luxury and centrality: This modern and extremely impressive apartment is located in an elegant and extensively renovated Wilhelminian-style old building.

The building is one of the most representative residential and commercial buildings in Berlin and was constructed between 1895-96 by the architectural firm Kayser & v. Großheim for the wealthy merchant H. Gutschow. The five-story Wilhelminian-style building is particularly striking due to its richly decorated facade, designed as a magnificent stone facade in Neo-Renaissance style. Bay windows and balconies spanning two floors give the building vertical articulation and are responsible for the strong facade relief. Due to its remarkable facade design and excellent location, the building is of city-defining importance. From 1910, the ”Academy for Magical Art,” later the ”Magic Central” of the famous magician F. W. Conradi-Horster, who performed for Kaiser Wilhelm II, was also located here. Thus, Friedrichstrasse 17 was internationally known as the ”Mecca of Magical Arts” for many decades. The elegantly designed 4-room apartment is located on the third floor of the building and can be accessed either via the magnificent staircase or conveniently with the elevator. The center of this stately apartment is the extremely impressive living and dining area, which covers approximately 122 m² and gives the apartment its unique loft character. Generous, partially floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a bright and airy room atmosphere. The continuously laid oak parquet underlines the pleasant and comfortable coziness. A ceiling fan provides the necessary airflow on hot days. From the living and dining area, you can access a southeast-facing balcony. The also very generous master bedroom area with historical stucco elements also includes a dressing room, an elegant en-suite bathroom with an impressive freestanding washbasin, and an XL rain shower. Another bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, which can also be accessed from the living and dining area, can optionally be used as a gym, guest, or children’s room.
