Description
This bright and spacious 130m2 loft-style penthouse apartment offers majestic views over the canopy of a small park, giving the feeling of a truly idyllic retreat in the countryside but is in fact in the middle of the city - less than 20 minutes to the Friedrichstrasse. The apartment is located in Alt-Tempelhof, close to Kreuzberg, the multicultural melting pot and currently the most interesting part of Berlin with its vivid art scene, English theater, bars and restaurants.

The living room is very bright, has high ceilings and measures about 70 square meters. It is divided into three separate areas: a large dining area with a beautiful wooden dining-table and an attractive sunny balcony, a generous sitting area with an L-shaped sofa and in the front next to the kitchen a cozy fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A large skylight lets in even more light: a crackling fire in winter and above you twinkling stars - what more could you want?

The open-plan kitchen has a "breakfast bar", a very good stove, large fridge and a dishwasher. A large larder provides space for essentials such as a freezer, provisions, wood for the oven and other things.
The apartment has two large separate bedrooms. which face east and, like the terrace, receive the morning sunshine. The master bedroom has a large king size bed and a desk. The second bedroom a smaller double bed and built-in storage cupboards. All rooms have central heating.

On entering through the front door, you will find beautiful stone tiles in the hall and bathroom. The bathroom, which is also light and sunny, comes with a floor to ceiling shower and is equipped with a high quality new washing machine.

Next to the bedroom is a large store room, which is suitable for clothes, shoes and other things like vacuum cleaner, etc.

Behind the house there is a courtyard with communal garden, lawn and children’s play area.

The street is quiet, tree-lined and cobble-stoned and has a number of architecturally beautiful buildings. The park in front of the apartment is a small paradise with ponds, walkways and ancient trees and children's play area. There is an open Qigong Group practising meditative movements in the park twice a week in the morning. There is even a local church at the edge of the park.

The former Tempelhof Airport, which is now a huge green area and the creative playground for many Berliners, can be reached on foot within 10 minutes. Here more and more people pursue recreational activities, have fun with urban gardening and come together for barbecues.

Two Underground stops will take you to the UFA-Fabrik, a cultural oasis with performance art, concerts and entertainment.

The famous ‘Bergmannkiez’ (the fashionable area of Kreuzberg) is a mere 10-15 minutes trip by Underground on the U6 or by bicycle.

The S-Bahn Südkreuz, which is also one of the main railways terminals, is three bus stops away. There is easy access to both Berlin Tegel and Berlin Schoenefeld airports.

In the immediate location of the apartment you will find numerous shopping possibilities, from local supermarket to discounters; a large department store is directly opposite the park. In the Schönburgstraße itself there is a high quality local cafe.

The apartment offers the perfect location for people who want lots of space, a terrace with great views and room to move and breathe.

And last but not least: the apartment comes with a built-in fitness facility. Being an historical building there is no elevator and so you will need to climb four flights of stairs to enjoy all the above benefits. But it is worth it.
