Description
Gormannstraße, Mitte: Spectacular Townhouse on four floors with elevator, terrace and zen-patio "It was my vision to imagine the Town-house foremost as a family home, but also perfectly suitable for an art collection display: Art House with an edge" Owner of this townhouse In the heart of Berlin-Mitte, lies an exclusive Town House designed by award winning Berlin architects, HS-Architekten and customised by British interior designer Peter Harvey. The Town House is situated in the so-called ‘Scheunenviertel’ the barnyard district, at the interface between history and modernity with a total living/usable area of approx. 199 m². The townhouse was built in 2008 using solid construction. This unique and exceptional Town House, with the lustre of its notable cutting edge facade reflecting the sky, stands in a village like atmosphere, yet situated on the fashionable Mulackstraße and a stone throw away from fashion designer boutiques of Alte Schönhauserstraße, and the art galleries and restaurants of Auguststraße. The Town House is accessible from two street entrances: via a lift to each floor from the main entrance situated on Gormanstraße, or, by the dedicated entrance on Mulackstraße with stairs leading to each of the four floors. Flooding light from all directions draws you to a succession of spaces playing on the almost intangible boundaries between interior and exterior, with a succession of high ceilings, glazed walls, patio, balconies, terrace with full hight sliding doors. The Town House is offering luxurious modern family living on 4 floors: The 1st floor is composed of a generous modular space (one or two rooms) with en-suite bathroom and utility room. The 2nd floor master bedroom has an open en-suite luxurious bath room and generous walk-in shower clad in Bisazza glass mosaics reflecting the light of a secluded Zen patio, with planting and water feature. The 3rd floor space is dedicated to a large open plan kitchen and dining area with a feature wall between the kitchen and toilet, with a built-in aquarium, and a balcony of which overlooks the patio. The 4th floor: As you climb the last flight of stairs, the stair light-well opens to reveal the sky at the apex of the house, a living room with wood burning fire opens widely onto an impressive terrace, overlooking the rooftops of the city and onto an intimate balcony and patio below. In-house shared double lift parking is included! The paintings in the apartment are by the artist Teresa Mazuela Sequeira

Location
Gormannstraße is located in the heart of the so-called Scheunenviertel - one of Berlin's most sought-after residential areas. Between Rosenthaler Platz, Hackescher Markt and Torstraße, a lively mix of design, gastronomy, culture and historic cityscape unfolds here. Just a few steps away: Mulackstraße with its iconic boutiques, Auguststraße with its galleries, and Alte Schönhauser Straße with its cafés, concept stores and creative scene. Those who love urban life will find an environment full of style and diversity here - and surprisingly quiet retreats at the same time. The townhouse itself is located in a side street with a small-town character - quiet, but well connected. Three subway stations (Rosenthaler Platz, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Weinmeisterstraße) and the Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station are just a few minutes' walk away. Alexanderplatz, Museum Island and Monbijoupark are also just a short walk away. International schools, kindergartens, weekly markets and all local amenities are within easy reach. The infrastructure is excellent - and yet the residential feeling remains exceptionally private. Living here means you are in the middle of the city - and yet completely at home.
