Description
The stately Wilhelminian style building was erected in 1911 as a four-story residential and commercial building. It consists of a striking street-facing building, along with two side wings as well as a courtyard building. It is divided into a total of 5 commercial units and 23 historic apartments as well as three new apartments, which were built at the attic level. The building is accessible via a staircase in the front building and two staircases leading from the side wings to the courtyard building. Extensive renovation work on the property has been underway since last year and should be completed by the end of this year. The current project includes the following measures, among others: Addition of balconies, renewal of fresh and waste water pipes, installation of new electrical risers and installation of new electrical meters in the central meter room, installation of an intercom system with video function, facade work, revision and/or new installation of windows and balcony doors, redesign of the courtyard area, renovation of the staircases, conversion and extension of the attic for residential purposes (completion expected in autumn 2023), addition of an elevator to the front building and sealing of the basement ceiling. The apartment for sale is located in the rear building of the 4th floor, has a good room height, is bright and quiet and has, in addition to a west balcony, some classic old building elements such as floorboards, coffered doors and so on. It is accessed via the staircase of the right side wing and has been occupied by the current tenant since 2016. The apartment is heated by gas floor heating.
Location
Neue Hochstraße is a quiet residential street which runs parallel to
Chauséestraße at the intersection of the Mitte and Wedding districts, in
the immediate vicinity of Berlin’s famous Dorotheenstädtischer
Friedhof. Chausséestraße, which is only 200 m away, in turn crosses the
vibrant Berlin district of Mitte in a north-south direction and is an
extension of the famous Friedrichsstraße, which then becomes
Müllerstraße in Wedding. The Museum of Natural History is one subway
stop away. The central Friedrichstrasse train station as well as
Berlin's main train station can each be reached in about 10 minutes. The
best known resident on Chausséestraße is the Federal Intelligence
Service, which recently moved here and employs 4,000 people. The
building, designed by Berlin architects Kleihues + Kleihues and
affectionately christened "Umzugskiste" („Moving box“) by Berliners, is
about 500 metres away. A little further in the other direction is the
Wedding S-Bahn station with its Ringbahn connection and U6 stop, as well
as several bus lines. There are also numerous shopping facilities,
doctors, schools, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
