Description
A recently listed rooftop apartment on Vene Street in the heart of the Old Town is a true gem. This is the ideal choice for someone looking for luxury, uniqueness, and meticulous attention to detail.
The renovation of this apartment took an entire year, preceded by just as much time spent on thorough planning and design. A total of 11 expert teams, each with years of experience, worked on transforming this once outdated and tired apartment into an exquisite, luxurious home. Every step of the renovation was carried out under the strict supervision of heritage conservation authorities to preserve its historical value while offering all the modern conveniences.
The apartment's layout is as extraordinary as its location. The spacious living room opens up to three directions – east, south, and west – filling the space with natural light and offering stunning views of the Old Town, both by day and by night. The bedroom is tucked away in the quieter part of the building, complete with a private en suite bathroom. The sauna is a true highlight of this home – from its windows, you can enjoy a captivating view of the Old Town rooftops, turning daily relaxation into a truly luxurious experience.
Interior designer Helen Kolks has created an interior that is as elegant as it is functional. All the furniture and architectural elements are custom-made, including the handcrafted wool-silk rug in the living room.
Carefully selected materials and thoughtfully designed lighting solutions highlight the apartment's unique architectural details, creating a home that is both cozy and exceptionally stylish.
The total living area is 89.4 m², but thanks to practical storage spaces and reading nooks, the usable area extends to 100.2 m².
The apartment is equipped with autonomous gas heating, a ventilation system, and the latest technological solutions, ensuring maximum comfort and energy efficiency. No compromises have been made on any detail – this home is finished to perfection, offering its residents both aesthetic and functional delight.
This home can be compared to a Fabergé egg – luxurious, exquisitely crafted, and full of surprises. It is nearly impossible to find another home where history and modern comfort blend so seamlessly. Every window in this apartment offers breathtaking views of the Old Town’s historic streets and towers, providing new and unique experiences every day. One thing is certain – there is no other home like this anywhere in the universe.
The apartment also includes two storage units in the basement, totaling approximately 6 m².
The history of the building at Vene 1 dates back to the 14th century. The earliest known records are from 1370, when the property was owned by the wealthy merchant and town councilman Richardus Rike. Since then, the property has passed through the hands of other councilmen and merchants of the Great Guild. Originally a two-story building, additional floors have been added over the centuries, with the current structure completed in the 1920s. A detailed historical study of the building has been compiled by Tallinn’s own grand old man of history, Jüri Kuuskemaa.
Today, the building has been fully renovated. This home is the perfect choice for someone who values luxury, history, and unique experiences.
If you're looking for a home where every detail has a story and where modern comfort meets historical charm, then this apartment is for you. Your everyday life will take place in Tallinn’s UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, a place where thousands of people from all over the world come to see, at least once in their lifetime – but you’ll get to experience it every day.
And it’s all just less than 100 steps away – every step will be worth it. Plus, as a bonus, living here will give you enviable leg and glute muscles!
The sale price includes all the furnishings in the apartment.
