Description
A stately period villa in a historic residential area of Lichterfelde-West. Southwest of the city center, the Lichterfelde district exudes a fairytale splendor with refined restraint. Slightly hidden from the hustle and bustle of the big city, Berlin's formerly oldest residential area leads a tranquil existence amidst friendly neighbors, picturesque buildings, and rurally romantic streets. Although part of the large Steglitz-Zehlendorf administrative district, the district maintains its own, further subdivision into Lichterfelde-West, Lichterfelde-East, and Lichterfelde-South. Thus, the area around Drakestraße belongs to western Lichterfelde, the part bordering Lankwitz belongs to Lichterfelde-East, and the residential areas extending into the neighboring state of Brandenburg belong to Lichterfelde South. While the western and eastern parts of Lichterfelde are predominantly characterized by prestigious villas and well-maintained historic buildings, planners in Lichterfelde South focused on private residential developments and, at the end of the 1960s, on a modern, partly high-rise suburban development known as the Thermometer Estate, comprising around 60 residential buildings. From no fewer than five S-Bahn stations and a well-organized bus network, the center of Berlin and other districts can be reached from anywhere. Kindergartens, schools, supermarkets, specialty stores, pharmacies, and specialist medical practices distributed throughout the individual residential areas provide residents with a well-thought-out and well-functioning infrastructure. The property is located on a quiet residential street in a residential area with a fenced plot in the popular Lichterfelde-West district. This stately villa was built in 1906 and extensively modernized from 2023 to 2024. The bathrooms are fitted with high-quality natural stone tiles and feature modern furnishings. High-quality parquet and floorboards were laid throughout the property, and all windows were replaced. The main entrance, facing the street, leads to the elevated ground floor, which houses a large kitchen, a spacious and bright dining room, and the living room with a spacious living room. A modern guest toilet with natural light completes the impressive entrance. An entrance facing the garden or the internal staircase leads to the daylit basement with large windows, which houses an approximately 80 square meter granny flat and additional rooms for commercial use. The upper floor features a light-flooded master bedroom with a large and elegant full bathroom, as well as two further bedrooms or children's rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The attic floor features a guest apartment with a kitchen connection and bathroom. Three additional guest or bedroom spaces, two of which have access to a balcony (garden view), perfectly round out this versatile living area. The large attic studio is ideal for use as a fitness area or as additional office space. The street-facing facade of the house is covered with stucco and a mural. • Comprehensive modernization from 2023-2024 by long-standing specialist and trades companies of the owners • 15 rooms • 8 potential bedrooms and children's rooms • Original refurbished old doors, profiled and painted white • 5 high-quality bathrooms (3 of which en-suite) equipped with floor-to-ceiling shower and bathtub • 2 modern guest toilets • High-quality sanitary objects and fittings in all bathrooms • Spacious and bright attic studio with new insulation • Elevator shaft for the possible installation of an elevator from the basement to the 2nd floor • Utility room • New water/sewage electrical installation • High-quality parquet and floorboards (partially in herringbone look) • Underfloor heating in the entire villa with the exception of the attic studio • Central hot water supply • Ceiling height approx. 3.60 meters • New wooden windows with double glazing (WSG 1.0) • Electric blinds • 2 balconies facing south-west • Partially covered Terrace with south-west orientation • Intercom system with video outdoor station • Various cellar rooms • Large garage with electric sectional door and remote control • 2 additional outdoor parking spaces for cars • Photovoltaic system
