This complete renovation project started at the beginning of 2007. Only this commercial unit remains because the sale was cancelled.
This is a flawless, beautiful, lavish restoration. The building is almost complete (May 2008) and is as new. All of the period features have been restored or rebuilt and the old has been merged with the new (video intercom and electronic key for example). There are 15 units including two commercial units on the ground floor. The building has been fitted out with top quality finishes and the layout of each unit is designed with the utmost comfort for the resident in mind.
Prenzlauer Allee is located in the district of Prenzlauer Berg. This is a lively area that has undergone regeneration since the reunification, in order to bring it back to its original turn of the 20th century charm. Prenzlauer Allee is one of the three main thoroughfares taking you into Prenzlauer Berg.
It is perfectly located at the "Alex" end of Prenzlauer Allee, a few seconds walk from the nearest tram station. It is also almost directly opposite one of the trendiest and most charming parts of Prenzlaeur Berg, the "Wasserturm" or "water tower" and a few minutes walk from "Kollwitzplatz" which is arguably the trendiest square (or triangle actually) in Prenzlauer Berg and is one of the most expensive areas in Berlin (one of the German ministers lives here). There are many fine restaurants, cafés and galleries around these locations. These are wonderful, charming streets to walk through - our favourite part of Berlin.
All essential city centre amenities and public transport are readily accessible in this district.
The builder has also taken pride in the preservation of the old existing style elements - windows and doors are as far as possible restored to their original look. If they cannot be restored they will be recreated exactly. It is difficult to find newly renovated classical buildings in this central part of Berlin.
