Charming one-room apartment with a spacious rooftop terrace.

Behind the original wooden front door, painted in a distinctive Berlin blue, on the 4th floor, a spacious hallway leads into the apartment. From the hallway, you first enter the combined living and kitchen area, and then the separate bathroom. At the other end, the hallway opens into the living/working/bedroom. The bathroom is located in what was formerly a pantry, accessible from the kitchen. It is tiled with dark gray slate and features a walk-in shower. The bathroom and toilet are in a straight line and connected by an opening, allowing both rooms to benefit from natural light. It would also be possible to create an opening from the bathroom into the kitchen or living area. The entire apartment boasts a generous ceiling height and rounded wall transitions in an Art Deco style. With the exception of the area around the stove in the kitchen, which is tiled with terracotta, and the tiled bathroom, the flooring throughout the apartment consists of sanded and oiled wooden floorboards. The spacious living room has a roughly square shape and a pleasing layout. In the rear northwest corner, there is the possibility of installing a fireplace. The chimney flue was professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep and extended with a stainless steel chimney to the rooftop terrace. This makes the installation of a cozy fireplace possible – which, based on experience, significantly enhances well-being during long Berlin winters (and provides a degree of security regarding heating during times of crisis). The apartment offers numerous design possibilities; for example, an internal staircase could be installed to the rooftop terrace on the 5th floor, which is located directly above the apartment. The terrace has the charm of a natural oasis in the open space above the city rooftops. It has its own access via the staircase. Unlike the other rooftop terraces in the building, it is not exposed on all sides; instead, it is surrounded on three sides – north, east, and west – by the building's walls. It opens to the south, bordered by a wrought-iron railing, towards the building's courtyard. This means it is not overly exposed to the weather and can be used year-round. Within the building's structure, it includes a small hallway and a tastefully renovated bathroom with a shower-tub combination, sink, and toilet. The hallway opens onto a spacious terrace and outdoor area via a sliding door, with approximately half of it being covered. This makes the terrace ideal for relaxing in the open air, as well as providing a shaded and sheltered area for use in all weather conditions. The covered area is designed as a storage space for garden furniture and can be used in various ways. The south-facing roof of the covered area has space for several solar panels. This means that the installation of a small or larger balcony power system is entirely feasible – with sufficient battery storage, it would be quite possible to supply the entire apartment with electricity independently. The terrace is connected to the apartment for electricity and water. It has its own circuit and its own electricity and water meters. The apartment was completely renovated approximately 12 years ago and is ready to move into, but it would be a good opportunity to renovate it further:

In my opinion, the wooden floors should be sanded and re-oiled (the underlying material is in very good condition). The heating system would benefit from new thermostats, and the bathroom could be completely redesigned (for example, with a ground-level shower). The kitchen could benefit from a new stove and a new sink (with a wall-mounted faucet). The hallway and bathroom on the terrace were newly installed just last year and are up-to-date.
