UNIKAT - Historic town villa as a single-family home in a prime location in the city center
Welcome to the heart of the second baroque city extension, the jewel of Potsdam's civic architecture and probably the liveliest part of Potsdam's city center, where history meets timeless elegance. Due to its pure conception as a spacious single-family villa, the historic town villa is truly unique in this location. Use as a multi-generational home or a combination of living and working, subject to building regulations, are further attractive options. The villa, built in 1781 by Georg Christian Unger, architect and master builder to Frederick the Great, extends over a 170 m² plot and has three storeys.
The Friderician charm of the house is reflected in its stylistic elements typical of the period, including window canopies and a decorative band above the entrance area. You are greeted by a historic sandstone staircase, which was deliberately left in its original condition to preserve its patina.
Inside the single-family town villa, there are many original details, including stucco on the ceilings, historic doors and a staircase with a classic solid wooden staircase, which underline the character of this baroque jewel. The property offers approx. 273 m² of living space and approx. 90 m² of usable space, divided into 10 rooms, which are characterized by high-quality and tasteful floor coverings such as partly original floorboards or historically recreated floorboards as well as exquisite tiles. The rooms are flooded with light and have historic double box windows facing the street, creating an inviting atmosphere. The tasteful heating panels also blend harmoniously into the overall picture. Over the years, several rooms have been decorated by a specialist interior designer in the old Biedermeier style.
You are greeted on the first floor by a spacious entrance area, from which you can reach all the rooms centrally. The first impressive living room of approx. 24 m² opens up on the right-hand side. The kitchen adjoins the living room and is also a pleasant size at approx. 20 m². Here you will find a fitted kitchen that is equipped with all the necessary appliances and meets all the requirements of contemporary living comfort.
To the left of the entrance area you will find two further rooms, which can be used as a study or guest room, for example, and the first bathroom in the house, which is equipped with a shower.
From the entrance hall, the historic solid wood staircase takes you to the upper floor, where you will find the main floor of the house. Here you will find three high-quality living rooms and the cozy balcony room. A ceiling height of approx. 3.30 m, together with the wall design and the floorboards, give the rooms an authentic old building character that is unparalleled in this quality.
Three further bedrooms and two more bathrooms await you on the top floor. Two master bedrooms have approx. 16 - 18 m² of living space and are connected via a hallway. A dressing room between the bedrooms offers additional comfort. A further bedroom facing the inner courtyard has a charming roof terrace and offers approx. 15 m² of living space. The space on the top floor is completed by two bathrooms. The main bathroom has a shower, bathtub and double washbasin and the second bathroom is equipped with a shower and WC.
The spacious balcony and the private courtyard invite you to linger outdoors and offer a retreat in the middle of the historic city center. The terrace in the courtyard is paved with historic paving.
The property has a full basement with vaulted ceilings and a laundry room, which offer additional storage space and practical uses.
