About this apartment

Historic residential building from 1900 in a central location in Karlsruhe city center

Built around 1900, this residential building combines the unmistakable charm of a historic property with the convenience of a lively, urban environment. At first glance, the façade reveals the typical elements of the turn of the century: tall windows, clean lines and solid construction, giving the house its timeless appeal. Inside, the generous ceiling heights create an open, pleasant living atmosphere and emphasize the special character of this historic building.
The building has been carefully maintained over the years and retains its historic soul, while also offering room for individual design. Particularly noteworthy is the comprehensive roof renovation carried out in 2024: As part of a conversion project, the roof was modernized in accordance with the latest energy standards. Insulation, reroofing and the conversion of the attic were optimally implemented with consideration for building-physics interrelationships and energy efficiency – a valuable advantage for future residents.
The classically arranged floor plans offer a wide range of uses and convey the structure of traditional historic apartments without imitating the openness of modern new-builds. They therefore provide an ideal basis for people who value character, authenticity and individual design.
The location on Viktoriastraße is one of Karlsruhe’s sought-after central areas. Short distances to shopping facilities, cultural attractions and public transport characterize everyday life, while the building’s solid construction creates a pleasant sense of quiet inside – a rare combination of urban proximity and private retreat.
This property is ideal for buyers who appreciate the charm of a historic building while also wishing to benefit from an energy-optimized roof renovation. A house with history, ready for new chapters.

Fittings and features, as described

The apartment impresses with a well-considered layout and a stylish living ambiance. Two generously sized bedrooms, as well as a presentable living room and a separate dining room, offer a harmonious combination of comfort and classic elegance. The kitchen, bathroom and guest WC are functionally arranged, creating a clear and pleasant spatial structure.

The continuously laid parquet flooring underscores the apartment’s high-quality character and gives the rooms a warm, inviting atmosphere. The bathroom, fully tiled in marble, provides an exclusive accent and has a timelessly elegant appearance. The kitchen, with two counter areas, opens onto the dining room via a semi-open transition—ideal for social moments and a modern living experience.

A balcony overlooking the rear courtyard and an associated cellar room expand the living space and provide additional comfort and practical storage.

Particularly noteworthy is the energy modernization of the south side: All four large windows and their associated roller shutters were replaced in 2018 and fitted with high-quality triple glazing. The combination of effective noise protection and optimized thermal insulation against heat and cold ensures a noticeably pleasant indoor climate while also reducing energy consumption.
