Description
Nestled among rose bushes and ivy, surrounded by birdsong, lies the fairytale Palais Mautner Jäger, a unique architectural masterpiece from the Belle Époque that immediately catches the eye. With its extraordinary appearance, it enriches the cityscape of the 3rd district and evokes the splendor of bygone eras. Upon entering the Palais Mautner Jäger, one is instantly transported to an age of glamour and elegance – almost as if one were a guest in the home of the Great Gatsby. The aura of lavish soirées and magnificent celebrations that once filled these rooms still lingers in the air. The enchanting, historical spirit of this palace is palpable and conveys a magical feeling. The patron of this "garden palace," built in 1902, was Hertha Jäger, who was not only a great advocate for women's rights but also created a hub for art and culture in her home. The city villa shines in new splendor. This unique jewel in the city center is about to be awakened from its slumber and offer its new owner a truly exceptional home. It can be purchased either unrestored in its current state or individually redesigned and renovated. The highest priority is placed on the authentic restoration of the historic villa, which can be carried out by the experienced team of architects at Testor & Partner in close consultation with the Federal Monuments Office. The goal is to transform Villa Mautner Jäger into a luxurious city residence that meets the highest modern standards while also preserving its former glory. The existing villa has 22 rooms on three floors, accessible via a grand staircase. The floor plan can still be completely customized, and a unique master suite can be created in the entire attic. The villa's exterior will be restored to its original appearance. All metal components, such as the fence and entrance gate, can be renovated and coated in the original shade of green. The conversion and renovation work will primarily focus on the approximately 1,232 m² of interior living space. The impressive entrance area and the large, high-ceilinged, and bright rooms make the palace truly unique. A planned steel and glass elevator in the secluded courtyard will provide barrier-free access to all residential floors and the basement. Compact staff apartments are planned for the two-story gatehouse. Custom-made and historically preserved features from the early 20th century, such as open marble fireplaces, the kitchen, and the listed dumbwaiter with intercom system, as well as the antique, listed bowling alley in the garden, can be restored to their original condition, lending the villa a unique character. Furthermore, the construction of an underground parking garage has already been approved, adding modern functionality to this historical gem. A private oasis of tranquility awaits in the rose garden. The villa's generous windows offer views of the lush green garden. Strolling across the approximately 1,000 m² grounds, you'll discover not only the historic bowling alley and a private swimming pool, but also, if you close your eyes, you'll forget for a brief moment that you're in a major city. As mentioned, the Palais can be purchased either in its current, unrestored condition or fully renovated by the current owner as a completely restored and bespoke masterpiece. We would be happy to send you further information on monthly costs (operating expenses, reserve fund, etc.) or supplementary documents such as floor plans upon request.
