Unique factory loft with rooftop terrace in former brewery

This listed factory building rises up almost mysteriously like something from a past age. It is located at the end of a quiet residential street in the heart of the Prenzlberg neighbourhood. Where the tables once stood in one of Berlin’s first beer gardens, a residential facility with city houses was built in 2006 following the English model. The beer that was enjoyed here was brewed right next door in the wheat beer brewery built in 1875. It was laboriously refurbished from the ground up in 2012 subject to listed building conditions, beautifully retaining the special charm of the old brewery building both inside and out, and made into four individual apartments. The exceptional loft apartment we are offering covers three floors, with the highlight on the roof of a spectacular 360° view of the neighbouring Volkspark Friedrichshain, the TV Tower and the city. The property itself will redefine what you thought you knew about spaciousness in an apartment. All three stories are linked by an interior staircase and skillfully create various different living areas, some generous and spacious, some small and intimate. In addition, every story can be reached by an elevator, offering highly modern comfort and a variety of possible uses. Two entrances allow access in different ways: the historic stairwell has an original steel spiral staircase and is intended more as an emergency escape stairwell. Reaching the apartment is far more comfortable taking the elevator. As soon as the apartment door on the second story opens, you get that loft feeling in the most original sense. Original vaulted ceilings and old steel beams and columns lend the 126 m² space the right atmosphere for cooking, eating and spending time together. This story is rounded off with a guest bathroom in the entrance area and a possible guest room with en-suite bathroom. An interior staircase then takes you to the third story with the more private rooms with a total of three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a dressing room and a bathroom en-suite. There is also a small lounge with a fireplace, another shower-bath and a pantry. The fourth story offers a variety of different uses. The centerpiece of this story is an open room flooded with light from the historic windows in three of its walls. A large fireplace and a specially designed shelf unit create an especially pleasant living atmosphere. Next to this is a small room that has up to now been used as a play area. An area with sauna, freestanding bath, rain shower and separate toilet holds out the promise of hours of relaxation, while a gym invites you to do your daily workout.e
