Servitenviertel: Renovated Period Apartment With Dual Setup—Owner Occupation And/Or Rental

Near the Serviten Quarter, where Vienna reveals its elegant side, this period property of approximately 102 m² is located just a few minutes’ walk from the University of Vienna and the 1st District. A landscaped courtyard, reminiscent of a hidden urban garden, leads into the impressive building, constructed in 1861. Situated on the third floor, conveniently accessible by lift, the apartment enjoys an absolutely quiet courtyard-facing position. The view extends over the green inner courtyard; the atmosphere is peaceful and surprisingly relaxed for such a central location. This is where a rare sense of retreat emerges in the heart of the city.

During the 2023 renovation, great care was taken to preserve the property’s period character while creating comfortable, relaxed living conditions. Refurbished windows, electrical installations, water pipes, bathrooms and kitchen units provide a clear, minimalist yet high-quality standard of living. Bright rooms, high ceilings and generous window areas create a friendly, open atmosphere. Hot water and heating are provided electrically by new, highly energy-efficient appliances.

The property is currently divided into two spatially separate residential units, each with its own entrance. This arrangement offers flexible possibilities, whether for combining living and working under one roof, a mixture of owner-occupation and letting, or long-term flexibility in lifestyle planning. If required, the two units could easily be connected, as they were historically already joined.

Both units feature a very similar open, flexible layout: a living/bedroom, a spacious entrance hall with an open-plan kitchen and dining area including a fitted kitchen, and a well-equipped bathroom with a bathtub. The layout is complemented by a storage room within each unit and another storage area in the corridor opposite.

One of the two units is rented until early 2027. The existing tenancy agreement therefore already provides a stable income stream. The property also includes a basement storage unit, as well as the option to rent a garage space in the building, subject to availability.

This property is aimed at urban buyers as well as families seeking a city/student apartment, those looking for an uncomplicated urban second home in a prime location, or anyone wishing to combine living and working. A property that accommodates a variety of lifestyles while also offering sound investment potential, situated in the Serviten Quarter—an exceptionally popular and attractive area that is lively, inspiring and pleasantly quiet at the same time.

The apartment is situated in an excellent location in the sought-after Servitenviertel in Vienna’s 9th district—one of the city’s most charming and desirable neighborhoods. The area is known for its elegant historic buildings, relaxed atmosphere, and abundance of small cafés, restaurants, and independent shops, which give the surroundings a distinctive urban character.

A particular highlight is the immediate proximity to the 1st district, which can be reached comfortably on foot within just a few minutes. Residents therefore benefit from all the advantages of Vienna’s city center—from exclusive shopping opportunities and cultural institutions to renowned restaurants, traditional coffeehouses, and historic landmarks. The central location makes it possible to enjoy Vienna’s urban lifestyle to the fullest without lengthy journeys.

The University of Vienna is also within a short distance, further enhancing the appeal of the location for students, university employees, and anyone who appreciates a vibrant academic environment.

The area also offers excellent infrastructure, with local shops, public transportation, and a diverse range of restaurants right on the doorstep. At the same time, the Servitenviertel impresses with its pleasant residential quality and successful combination of urban life, historic architecture, and an established Viennese neighborhood culture.

The combination of a central location, classic historic-building character, and walking-distance proximity to the city center makes this residential location particularly attractive to anyone wishing to enjoy authentic Viennese city life in one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods.
