PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

This light-flooded loft maisonette offers a unique combination of historic charm and modern comfort on approx. 126 m². The property is located on the 1st floor of a representative, listed period building from 1888, which was comprehensively modernized in 1996. A special highlight are the extra-high ceilings as well as the distinctive glass dormers and generous roof windows, which create a unique sense of space and exceptional brightness. The characteristic cross-sash windows with their deep window sills also testify to the building’s history and lend the rooms a cozy flair. The property has its own entrance via a separate staircase, including a storage room/coat closet (special right of use). This guarantees you absolute privacy and the exclusive feeling of a “house within a house”.

Layout of the units: The space is divided into two internally connected units, ideal for use as a combination of office and retreat area:

● Main unit (maisonette, approx. 85 m²):

– Lower level (1st floor left): Spacious, bright connecting room as the heart of the unit. This level is complemented by a hallway, a separate office, a functional small fitted kitchen, and a guest WC.
– Upper level (attic floor): Accessible via an internal staircase, here there is another room that offers optimal light at any time of day thanks to its dual orientation (south-east and north-west).

● Secondary unit (approx. 41 m²):

– Lower level (1st floor right): This comprises a large, bright room, a separate small fitted kitchen (including washing machine and dryer), as well as a well-kept shower room and a practical storage nook.

BUILDING SERVICES & LEGAL USE

● Hot water supply: Hot water is supplied decentrally and efficiently via a modern instant water heater in the shower bathroom as well as under-sink storage heaters in the kitchen and WC.

● Legal status: The units are currently held as partial ownership (office/commercial). They are described in the declaration of division as No. 7 (approx. 85 m²) and No. 8 (approx. 41 m²). The well-maintained ensemble comprises only eight units. Five of them are registered in the rear building as condominium units; the sixth unit is located on the ground floor of the front building.

● Change of use: An official conversion for residential purposes may have to be applied for at the building authority; a certificate of separate ownership is already available. For the larger unit (No. 7), the written consent of the co-owners to residential use has already been granted. According to § 62 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 BauO Bln, the change of use from office to residential space is likely exempt from procedure here. Note: Please note that a conversion from commercial to residential space can generally hardly be reversed legally. All information on the potential change of use serves as initial guidance. The permissibility of approval must be clarified by the buyer themselves.
