Spacious, sunny old Berlin Appartment for exchange

The spacious appartment (1555 square feet) is in the third floor (without lift) of an appartment house built in 1894 (containing 18 appartments). It has 5 high ceilinged rooms with wooden floors and stuckoed ceilings. A large bedroom faces East towards the rising sun in the quiet back yard. Kitchen and bathroom face North towards the trees of the same large back yard. Two studies (one with a balcony) and the living room (with a large Loggia) face West towards the setting sun and the green canopy of two rows of big old plane trees on the busy city boulevard below. It has four lanes and parallel parking on both sides. It is a lively urban street with moderate traffic. The windows are well insulated so traffic is hardly noticeable when they are closed. But sitting on the balcony or on the Loggia one is noticeably in the city. It is a typical West-Berlin boulevard built by the end of the 19th century for well-to-do families in the more affluent South-West of Berlin. The houses are mostly in the then fashionable flamboyant and decoratively historical styles. There are restaurants and shops in the ground floors and residential, mostly rented appartments in the the upper 3 floors. There is a good little book shop right across the road.
To the right a big red-brick neo-gothic church (protestant) from the 19th century forms the end of the boulevard which bends around to the center of West-Berlin. Its bells ring every quarter hour the progress of time. On Sundays it rings for the services. A subway station is around the corner. All shopping can be done on foot. Several bio and normal supermarkets for groceries are in ten minutes walking distance. Shopping malls are two blocks away.

About I am a retired professor of social sciences living with my wife, Male, and our cat in a large appartment in a traditional Berlin Altbau erected in 1894 with high stuckoed ceilings and wooden floors. I still write books and give speeches on various subjects.
