### No agency fees, direct from the owner — available immediately upon move-in ###

This well-maintained apartment is located on the 4th floor of a well-managed apartment building built in 1959, comprising 14 units. The apartment offers approximately 46 square meters of living space, consisting of two rooms, a separate kitchen, a bathroom with a window, a spacious hallway, and a balcony. The apartment will be handed over vacant. This means you can move in immediately, without any notice periods and without taking over an existing lease. If you prefer to rent it out, you have complete freedom in choosing tenants. The apartment is currently under a temporary lease agreement and could be made available immediately. The apartment includes a separate storage room in the basement, as well as a private parking space in the courtyard, which is included in the purchase price – a real unique selling point in Kreuzberg. The parking space does not have its own land registry entry and is currently rented out for €140 per month, and the lease can be terminated. The storage room is also rented out for €59 per month and can also be terminated. The layout is classic and functional. From the bright living room, you step directly onto the balcony and look out over the green central promenade of Baerwaldstraße, with views of the treetops. This floor offers plenty of light, minimal visibility from the outside, and a view that is rarely found in this area. The bedroom is quiet and separate, the kitchen is a separate room with a window. All living areas and the hallway feature real wood parquet flooring. The fully equipped, extremely space-saving built-in kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, and a medium-sized built-in refrigerator. Because the kitchen is separate, the living room is a true living space, without a bed or kitchenette.

### Modernized Common Areas ###
The owners' association has consistently invested in recent years and has renovated the essential building components: • 2021: Complete renewal of the cold water pipes and wastewater drainpipes, including all associated work.
• 2021: Replacement of the main electrical distribution board, including new circuit breakers and metering system.
• 2021: Redesign of the front gardens.
• 2024: Installation of a new gas central heating system with modern condensing technology (investment of approximately €34,000), and proper decommissioning of the old oil tank.
• 2026: Painting and repair work throughout the entire stairwell, including the doors and windows in the common areas.
• Ongoing: Annual maintenance contract with a qualified roofing company.

The homeowners' association will begin the initial discussion process in 2027 regarding the installation of new windows as a further improvement in energy efficiency. The costly issues of the piping system, electrical system, and heating generation are now resolved for the coming years. These are precisely the factors that determine the long-term costs for existing properties. The current energy performance certificate classifies the building in energy efficiency class D, with a final energy requirement of 117 kWh/(m²·a) – a good value for a building of this age. This year, the maintenance reserve fund was increased by an additional €10,000, without requiring any special payments from the owners. As of August 2026, the building's maintenance reserve fund totals €49,766. The management is handled by a professional property management company, and an active advisory board has been elected. All minutes and financial statements are complete and readily available. The monthly service charge includes all operating costs, including heating, as well as the maintenance reserve fund. Previously, the property was rented as an "all-inclusive" rental, which meant there was no incentive to conserve energy, and energy costs constituted the largest portion of the service charge. With normal usage, the service charge is expected to decrease significantly after just one year. My previous tenants had the highest energy consumption in the building.

1-minute walk to Carl-Hertz-Ufer, 350 meters to Prinzenstraße subway station (U1, U3, U12). Kreuzberg 61: peaceful living, right in the heart of the action.

Baerwaldstraße is one of the most pleasant addresses in the Kreuzberg postal code area 10961. A wide, tree-lined promenade runs through the street, creating a green, almost boulevard-like living environment – peaceful and residential, yet only a few steps away from the vibrant Kreuzberg lifestyle. Relaxation is right outside your door: the Landwehr Canal, with the Urbanhafen and the waterfront paths along Planufer, is within a few minutes' walk, as is the popular Böcklerpark. The Kreuzberg outdoor swimming pool, known to everyone as the "Prinzenbad," is located approximately 250 meters away. For those seeking more space, the Viktoriapark with its waterfall or the Hasenheide can be reached by bike in just a few minutes. Amenities and daily life: Supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, and doctors are all within walking distance in the neighborhood. The Bergmannkiez, with the Marheineke Market Hall, independent cafes, bookstores, and restaurants, is located to the south, about a 15-minute walk away. In the immediate vicinity, owner-operated cafes and small restaurants have also established themselves, contributing to the character of the neighborhood. Families and Education: The Bürgermeister-Herz elementary school is located just a short distance away, and other elementary schools and daycare centers are also in the immediate vicinity. Transportation: The Prinzenstraße subway station (U1/U3/U12) is reachable within about four minutes on foot, and the Hallesches Tor transportation hub (U1/U3/U6), with its numerous bus lines, is also nearby. You can reach Potsdamer Platz, Mitte, and Museum Island in approximately 15 minutes. In Kreuzberg, cycling is often the fastest way to get around – and for those who still need a car, the apartment comes with its own parking space. Kreuzberg 61 has been considered one of Berlin's most stable and sought-after residential areas for many years.
