A Two-Story Home with Stunning Views in Kruununhaka, in the Heart of Helsinki

A stylish and characterful apartment occupying the top two floors of a building in the best location in Kruununhaka is now seeking new residents. With breathtaking panoramic views over Helsinki, this elegant yet cozy home will enchant you from day to night.

In the winter, it’s a pleasure to welcome guests by the fireplace in the reception hall. In the warm summer evenings, enjoy dinner with the balcony doors of the dining room open, revealing the beautiful southern view over the rooftops. Entertaining continues in the spacious living room, which boasts sweeping westward views. Upstairs, with its generous lounge area, bedrooms, elegant bathroom, and a glazed terrace facing south, offers a more private and homely atmosphere.

The architect who designed the building originally chose this apartment for himself — and it’s easy to see why. The home was perfectly suited for hosting and representation in its time and continues to serve that purpose beautifully today. Yet, it can also be easily adapted into a four-bedroom family home. The building was completed in 1927, and the upper floor was converted into living space and integrated with the apartment in 1999.

The apartment features striking and beautiful details, such as hand-painted Italian wallpaper in the current dining room, original ceiling and wall paintings in the entrance hall, a stunning wrought iron staircase and railing upstairs, and original large sliding glass doors that separate the downstairs living and dining rooms into distinct spaces. Not to be overlooked are the arched windows upstairs, the large skylight that lets you hear the patter of rain, and the old support beams sourced from the Mustiala manor.

Functionality has also been carefully considered: the apartment includes numerous well-designed storage solutions — closets and cabinets throughout, as well as spacious basement storage.

Life in this housing company will be carefree in the future, with no major renovations on the horizon. Thanks to relatively good rental income, maintenance fees have remained low over the years. The location — just a few minutes’ walk from Senate Square, the restaurants and cafés of Aleksanterinkatu and Esplanadi, the best shopping in Helsinki, the maritime charm of Pohjoisranta, the Botanic Garden, and the green surroundings of Töölönlahti — simply couldn’t be better. You’re at the heart of the city, yet just far enough away from it.

If this home speaks to you, don’t hesitate to get in touch for more information or to schedule a viewing. See you soon!
