A Luxury Art Nouveau Residence In The Heart Of Puolalanpuisto

Puolalanpuisto is a prestigious park district located behind the Turku Art Museum, where distinguished properties form one of the most sought-after residential ensembles in the city of Turku. The Market Square, cultural attractions, restaurants, the railway station, schools, and kindergartens are all within walking distance, yet the surroundings remain peaceful and sheltered—like a refined private oasis in the very heart of the city.

Completed in 1907, the property was designed by Adrian Thomander and commissioned by Frans Aatto Wuorela. It is one of Turku’s earliest two-storey wooden houses and represents the finest traditions of Art Nouveau craftsmanship. Its historical prestige has been carefully preserved, and now offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of this remarkable heritage.

The residence underwent a complete renovation and extension in 2023, overseen by a professional interior designer who curated the entire concept, including the new addition. The apartment was stripped back to its structural frame and rebuilt to an exceptionally high standard. Every material, proportion, and sightline has been meticulously considered. The result is a cohesive, luxurious, and flawlessly finished home that meets even the highest expectations.

Ceiling heights exceeding three metres on the ground floor and over four metres on the upper floor create an impressive sense of space. Large windows, skylights, and open-plan layouts ensure the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. The dining room and living area form a harmonious whole, while the generously sized kitchen combines striking design with perfect functionality. The primary bedroom with its en-suite bathroom offers true hotel-level comfort.

Dark, wide staircases designed by a master carpenter and railings crafted in a local forge lead elegantly between the floors. Upstairs, an airy landing, a magnificent sauna suite, and bedrooms finished with exposed log beams create warmth and atmosphere. A versatile lounge can serve as a family living room, home office, or additional bedroom depending on your needs.

Thick, white-lacquered solid pine plank floors, painted walls with decorative mouldings, and tall floor and ceiling cornices with plaster rosettes highlight the building’s historical character. Modern living comfort is enhanced by air-source heat pumps for cooling on both floors and a KNX smart home system.

A garage parking space with an electric vehicle charging station is available for purchase. The garage space is a separate share, with a debt-free purchase price of €35,000.

This home is truly one of a kind—a rare fusion of history, substantial architectural renewal, and luxury living in the most prestigious setting of Puolalanpuisto.
