Garden apartment with a loft feel - 78 sqm, 4 rooms - Located in the Blankenese staircase district, with a view of the Elbe River.

Located within the intricate network of paths in the Blankeneser stairwell district, this 4-room apartment is situated on the garden level of an Art Nouveau apartment building dating back to around 1910. Despite its quiet location, it naturally blends into the vibrant fabric of the neighborhood. The building comprises only five apartments, preserving a pleasantly private, almost house-like character. The apartment will be renovated in 2025/26 and is currently in the raw construction phase or undergoing renovation. The planned design will be inspired by the already completed 2-room apartment in the building (see photos), which is also located on the garden level, in terms of design, materials, and architectural style. At the same time, this early stage of construction offers the opportunity to incorporate the individual preferences of future owners, particularly regarding finishes, tile formats, sanitary fixtures, kitchen design, and details. The floor plan is clear and functional: four well-proportioned rooms allow for flexible use as a family home, spacious living with a home office, or as a combination of living and working spaces. The living and dining area forms the central hub of the apartment and, similar to the 2-room apartment, can be connected to the kitchen in an open-plan design. Generous sightlines are incorporated into the design from the outset to create a bright and flowing sense of space. The design also emphasizes a clear aesthetic: the plan calls for calm, high-quality materials, such as oak parquet flooring, underfloor heating, and a subtle, timeless color palette. Lighting, doors, and built-in features can be interpreted in a modern style, drawing inspiration from the existing apartment, without obscuring the character of the historic building. The goal is to create a cohesive design that conveys quality without being overly ostentatious. The bathroom will be designed in a modern and functional style, with a spacious shower, clean lines, and natural light where the layout allows. Here too, there is the option to choose materials and finishes individually and tailor them to personal needs. The entire building is in good condition; the roof, pipes, and structural elements have been or will be renewed. This creates an apartment that combines the charm of a historic building with the comfort of a modern new construction – a space that is peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and developed with a great deal of architectural sensitivity.

This exceptional property is located in the historic Blankeneser Treppenviertel, one of Hamburg's most sought-after and well-known districts. The picturesque quarter is known far beyond the city limits for its winding alleyways, romantic captain's cottages and beautiful Elbe slopes. Stylish villas and maritime architecture are lined up along the slopes, giving this district its special charm.

The fantastic views of the moody Elbe, whose changing colors and play of light make every hour seem different, create an incomparable living atmosphere. Magnificent parks, direct access to the water and the beach as well as an exclusive neighborhood also characterize this location.

The center of Blankenese with its traditional weekly market, diverse shopping opportunities, charming boutiques and a wide range of restaurants is just a few minutes' walk away. Cafés on the Elbe and restaurants with a view of the water make the district a popular meeting place for Blankenese society. The proximity to the ferry and the S-Bahn also ensures convenient connections to Hamburg city center.
