Living in a monument-protected “Am Urban” ensemble: 3 rooms, impressiv ceiling heights, west-balcony, fireplace and fitted kitchen in Gräfekiez

The monument protected ensemble of the Urban Hospital was designed and built in 1890 by H. Blankenstein and K.Frobenius. The 19 buildings are surrounded by a beautiful green area between Dieffenachstraße, Urbanstraße and Grimmstraße. To the west side, the present Urban Hospital was built in the 1970s. The symmetrical arrangement of the two-story pavilions along the central garden axis creates a cosy atmosphere in the middle of lively Kreuzberg. The brick architecture can be attributed to industrial architecture and the Schinckel School. Around 2009/2010, the entire complex was converted into residential space, projected and extensively renovated under consideration of historic preservation requirements. The result is a green residential quarter, which is characterized by its central and yet quiet and green surroundings.

The apartment offered here is located on the 1st floor of the corner building to Dieffenbachstraße and has 3 rooms on approx. 100 m². Due to the front garden with gate and the fact that there is only one other apartment in the staircase, underlines the high privacy. The imposing effect of the brick building is continued in the staircase with massive granite stairs. Upon entering, the apartment appeals directly due to the generous ceiling height of about 4 meters. The compact entrance area opens to the living room with gallery level and open-plan kitchen. A fireplace was installed between the kitchen and the living room, giving both rooms a special coziness in winter. The ceilings with steel beams, the four large-format windows facing north and east, and the access to the approx. 6 m² west facing balcony transforms the kitchen into the heart of the apartment. Long evenings with friends and family as well as a lot of fun cooking in the high-quality fitted kitchen with built-in appliances from Gaggenau and granite countertop is just as little in the way as a cozy breakfast on the large balcony! Of course, the kitchen is included in the purchase price.
From the living room with plenty of space for a cozy sitting area around the fireplace, you can reach the gallery level by a steel staircase with wooden steps. Due to a skylight, excellent lighting conditions prevail here as well and a workplace or guest area finds excellent space here. Below the gallery level is the smaller of the two enclosed rooms. This south-facing room is suitable as a children’s or guest room as well as a study. The large master bedroom enjoys direct access to the large bathroom, separated into two parts by a sliding door. The bathtub, a sink and the washing machine connection are located in the part of the bathroom accessed from the master bedroom. In the adjacent area, accessed from the entrance, a large floor-level shower, sink and toilet are installed.

Solid oak parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern is installed in all living areas. The walls are spackled. The bathroom is equipped with bright glass mosaic and high-quality bathroom ceramics. All supply and sewage pipes, electrics and building services were completely redone in the course of the renovation. Wooden insulated glass windows were also installed. The original window shape was retained during the renovation.

A very large and dry cellar compartment belongs to the apartment. In the outside area bicycles find place. The spacious garden around the building can be shared by the residents.

The apartment is available for immediate occupancy and will be handed over vacated after sale.
