Elegant Apartment at Ludwigkirchplatz (City West)

Description

Ludwigkirchplatz Spacious, bright, 3-room, 90 square meters, furnished apartment on Ludwigkirch-Platz, one of Berlin’s best neighborhoods. The building and apartment, classic Berlin Altbau, have been completely renovated. A renowned Berlin artisan and architect team have made the apartment a brilliant example of modern design and efficiency combined with old-Berlin elegance. The hardwood floors are mostly original and have been refurbished. Each of the rooms has lovely molding on the ceiling, and all of it has been stripped and repainted so that the artwork and craftsmanship show through clearly. All of the lighting is new and specially selected to suit the particular room. The building entrance way is dramatic. Through the courtyard, a newly installed elevator provides access to the fourth-floor apartment. The curved-shaped bedroom faces east and looks out onto a sun-lit courtyard. It has a king-size bed, large oak armoire, writing desk, a built-in bookcase, and Persian rugs. The living room faces west and has a balcony facing a school yard for elementary school children. The third room - also facing west - can be used as a bedroom or study, with direct access both to the hallway and, via a sliding door, to the living room. When open, the sense of spaciousness is accentuated; both rooms feel as one. When privacy is desired, the sliding door can be closed. The elegant, eat-in kitchen – room for five – was custom designed by the architect-artisan team in oak, natural stained and lacquered white. Its centerpiece is a stunning handcrafted solid oak table and a matching built-in kitchen bench. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including dishwasher and combined clothes washer and dryer, and plenty of counter space. The custom-built and designed cabinetry displays the most skilled modern craftsmanship. The bright bathroom has a full tub and shower. The living room contains both a lovely sitting area and a dining set that seats 8 and is the very epitome of modern design. Just out the door of the building are numerous restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and shops. From Spring to Fall the streets are lined with trees in full bloom. Centrally located, the neighborhood around Ludwigkirchplatz is also remarkably quiet. Kurfürstendamm is a ten-minute walk, Savignyplatz and Zoo take only 15 minutes. Numerous subway and bus lines are also an easy walk and provide access to every part of Berlin, including all Berlin universities and other academic and cultural institutions. The Mandela International School is within walking distance on the same street. An elementary school is just next door, and several bilingual daycare centers are close by. The apartment has a television, cd and blueray (dvd) players, local telephone, and high speed internet access. Condo fee, electricity, heating, telephone within Germany and internet are included in the rental price. A security deposit is required.
