Immobilie in Berlin-Friedrichshain

Best view in town? This charming, vacant classic Berlin Altbau apartment is situated on a quiet, car-free square on Gabriel-Max-Straße, in the heart of Boxhagener Kiez.

Enjoy the vibrant energy of this lively neighbourhood every day, then retreat to your peaceful Sanctuary, perhaps with a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking the attractive, traffic-free square.

Occupying the south-west facing front corner of the fourth floor, the apartment is wonderfully light-filled throughout the day, regardless of the weather.

The highlight of the apartment is the spacious living area, featuring windows on two sides and direct access to the balcony. The generous proportions and corner layout create a bright and airy atmosphere. Elegant original double doors connect the living room and bedroom, offering flexibility, either as a flowing en-suite arrangement or as two fully separate rooms.

The bedroom is equally generous in size and comfortably accommodates a large bed, a desk and additional furnishings.

At the far end of the hallway, there is a practical overhead storage area, with a cosy reading nook tucked beneath it.

The fitted, modernised kitchen is thoughtfully laid out and features an induction hob, dishwasher and washing machine, along with generous storage and work surfaces. There is also ample space for a cosy dining table by the window, creating an inviting setting for everyday meals. The purchase price includes premium branded kitchen appliances, including a Siemens fridge-freezer.

The bathroom, fitted with a bathtub and two windows, is compact yet functional and is located off the central hallway. The well-proportioned corridor provides access to all rooms, ensuring a practical and efficient layout.

Many classic Altbau features have been carefully preserved, including beautifully restored wooden floorboards, impressive ceiling heights (3.30 m) and elegant panel doors.

The living room and bedroom windows are wooden, and double-glazed. The kitchen and bathroom windows are made of synthetic material and are also double-glazed.

Thanks to its intelligent floor plan, the apartment is also ideally suited for a two-person flat share. With two spacious rooms, separate access from the hallway, and a shared kitchen and bathroom, it offers both privacy and communal comfort.

The period building itself, dating from 1904, impresses with its well-structured façade and beautifully preserved details in the hallways, staircases and other common areas, as well as on the balconies, which feature decorative historic elements. The building underwent extensive renovation and refurbishment in the 1990s and has since been carefully maintained. The overall impression of this classic Berlin property is one of style, refinement and tranquillity.

Celebrated for its exceptional character, this apartment was showcased in the May 2020 issue of Antiikki & Design, a Scandinavian interior design magazine.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a light-filled Altbau apartment with balcony, corner exposure, and authentic period details in one of Friedrichshain’s most sought-after locations.
