This unique residence on Lai Street transcends mere square meters—it offers a dialogue with time, history, framed by the understated elegance of Tallinn’s UNESCO-protected Old Town. Here, every limestone wall, shaft of light, and layer of silence speaks to a relationship with history. A space where medieval heritage and modern sensibility coexist, rooted in architectural depth.

A sanctuary where history breathes
Imagine mornings bathed in light from full-height windows greet morning sunlight, illuminating vaulted ceilings and walls adorned with fragments of centuries-old frescoes of Love, Hope, and Justice. Preserved stone pillars stand as silent witnesses, bridging medieval craftsmanship with contemporary spatial harmony. The soaring ceilings and original stone elements are not decorative flourishes, but structural poetry: quiet, unassuming, yet inherently commanding.

This is a home for those who value understatement—a space that invites presence, whispers without pretence, and celebrates heritage without shouting for attention.

Designed for intentional living
The layout reflects a rhythm of life that flows, rather than races. A sunlit open-plan living and kitchen area (60 m²), anchored by views of the inner courtyard and Old Town’s iconic red rooftops, transitions seamlessly to three private bedrooms (16.2 m², 14.3 m², 14.1 m²) and a functional bathroom (10 m²). Proportions are deliberate, balanced—crafted for those who see a home not as shelter, but as an extension of purpose. A space where solitude and connection, creativity and routine, find equilibrium. The apartment is ideally suited also for a lifestyles, that seamlessly blends work and life, integrating working and daily living together.

Basement: A canvas for vision - ready realisation
The property includes a separate basement level, accessible via a restorable historic stone staircase. With permits secured and utilities pre-connected, it awaits transformation into a studio, wellness retreat, or bespoke workspace, promising both personal enjoyment and value enhancement. Not an afterthought, but a conceptual opportunity to elevate both lifestyle and property value.

Sensitive restoration, modern comfort, timeless materials
Renovated in 2021 with logic, not trends, in mind: underfloor heating, a gas boiler, lime plaster walls, and natural wood finishes. Baroque motifs and Gothic inscriptions harmonize with clean modernity, mirroring Old Town itself—where historical layers support, rather than obscure, one another.

Tranquility at the urban core
Step outside to cobblestone streets alive with cafés and culture,  Nunne Street’s greenery, yet return to a residence insulated from noise—a rarity in the heart of the city. Here, location does not impose, but persists: alive, yet unhurried.

For those who recognise and feel it
This home requires no explanation. Its value reveals itself to those attuned to light, proportion, and materiality—not as potential, but as readiness. A space for those who perceive quality in silence, contrast, and the interplay of eras.


Viewings by appointment
We welcome serious inquiries from individuals seeking alignment of time, space, and character—not compromise. The price adjustment reflects a motivated seller committed to finding a custodian who values context and craft as deeply as location. We consider well-reasoned proposals.
