€859,000 | 113 m² living space | 3.5 rooms | Attic apartment | 13.50 m² south-facing terrace | No commission fees

Located above the rooftops of the Samariterkiez, this spacious and exceptionally quiet attic apartment is situated in the garden house of a classic Berlin building from 1903 – a listed building on the beautiful Bänschstraße. The building was completely renovated in 1999, and the roof of the side wing and garden house were converted into a bright and airy attic apartment. With approximately 113 m² of living space and an even larger actual floor area, the apartment offers 3.5 rooms with plenty of space for individual living ideas. The entrance hall welcomes you with historical tiles, a characterful wooden door, and a chandelier. Once you reach the upper floor, the hallway is exclusively for this apartment. The heart of the home: living, dining, and cooking.

The centerpiece is the approximately 45 m² living, dining, and cooking area, which is flooded with light and has a ceiling height of 2.50 m. Wooden pillars and parquet flooring give the living area a loft-like character. A true highlight is the floor-to-ceiling, custom-made bookcase. The open-plan Nolte kitchen blends harmoniously into the spacious living area. It is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances from Siemens and Bosch, a kitchen island with an extractor fan and a breakfast bar, extra-wide drawers, and under-cabinet lighting. The tiled kitchen floor has underfloor heating. The terrace: A prime location with a view.
A floor-to-ceiling, glazed French door connects the living area to the 13.50 m² south-facing terrace, which is partially covered. It is a special retreat with a view of the Samaritan Church and, thanks to the covering, is also well usable in changeable weather. Space for individual living ideas.
The L-shaped layout offers, in addition to the generous living area, three further rooms of different sizes. Centrally located is a square room of approximately 20 m², next to a small room for a home office or utility room. At the rear of the apartment is a quiet room with special details such as an exposed brick wall, exposed wooden beams, and high-quality carpeting. The roof windows in the larger rooms, in addition to the standard external sun blinds, also have Velux blackout blinds. The spacious bathroom features a bathtub, a separate shower, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating. Additionally, there is a guest toilet, a storage room, and a walk-in closet in the hallway. The apartment offers a pleasant living environment and modern amenities.

Due to its design, the apartment is less susceptible to summer heat. Windows and doors on three sides of the building allow for excellent cross-ventilation. Two large deciduous trees in the courtyard create a pleasant microclimate on the north side. On the south side, the recessed terrace door protects against direct summer sunlight, while the lower angle of the sun during the rest of the year allows plenty of light into the apartment. The main entrance to the apartment, located in the garden house, and another entrance in the side wing are equipped with enhanced security features. The main entrance features a video intercom system. The apartment is heated by a district heating system that was newly installed in 2025. A FTTH fiber optic connection to the apartment is already in place.

The Atmosphere in the Neighborhood
Bänschstraße, a residential street with limited traffic located in a protected area, is one of the most beautiful streets in Friedrichshain, thanks to its green median strip and mature trees. In the heart of the popular Samariterkiez district, carefully renovated historic buildings, independent shops, small cafes, and restaurants create a charming streetscape. Shops for everyday needs, doctors' offices, several playgrounds, schools, and daycare centers are easily accessible. The nearby Frankfurter Allee and Alexanderplatz, only 4 km away, offer further shopping options, as well as large shopping centers.
