This charming apartment, located on the third floor of a classically grand building from 1900, offers a rare opportunity to design a spacious living concept entirely according to your own vision. The building underwent extensive modernization between 2019 and 2021—including the addition of an elegant glass elevator in the courtyard, providing near-barrier-free access to the apartment.
Upon entering, the apartment’s unique floor plan immediately stands out, a result of the building’s distinctive delta-shaped architecture. The hallway is bright and open, and all rooms are accessible separately—there are no typical Berlin-style connecting rooms or the classic “Berliner Zimmer” to be found here.
The apartment is in an unrenovated state, offering a perfect blank canvas for your living vision. A feasibility study with concrete renovation proposals is already available and can be adopted upon request. Whether you prefer five bedrooms with a separate kitchen and living room, or a spacious, loft-like living area with an open kitchen and views over the rooftops of West Berlin—both options are entirely achievable.
Additionally, there is the option to purchase the attic space above, which has a ceiling height of approximately six meters, and connect it to the apartment—a further step toward creating an exclusive residential ensemble in a sought-after location.

The apartment is located in one of West Berlin’s most sought-after residential areas—Roseneck, at the intersection of Grunewald and Wilmersdorf. Karlsbader Straße, a quiet side street off Hohenzollerndamm, offers a peaceful, almost village-like atmosphere in the heart of the city—surrounded by stately period buildings, well-kept front gardens, and mature trees.
Charming cafés, select delicatessens, and numerous owner-run shops are just around the corner, including the traditional Viennese coffee house, Butter Lindner, a well-stocked EDEKA supermarket, and various other culinary highlights. For connoisseurs and discerning guests, the nearby restaurant Machiavelli provides a stylish setting and upscale cuisine.
Families will also find everything they need: several schools—including prestigious institutions such as Paulsen-Gymnasium, the International School, and private primary schools—are located in the vicinity. Daycare centers, medical offices, and pharmacies are all within walking distance.
The Grunewald forest, with its lakes, riding stables, and tennis facilities, is practically on your doorstep. Whether jogging, walking, horseback riding, or out with your dog—nature lovers will find a true oasis of recreation right in the middle of the city.
Public transport connections are excellent: bus lines such as the M29, X10, and 115 take you directly to Kurfürstendamm, City West, or towards Zehlendorf. The A100 city motorway is just a few minutes away—ideal for commuters and frequent drivers.
A residential location that perfectly combines urban convenience, elegant surroundings, and close-to-nature living—a rare and lasting value.
