Historic old building near Belvedere, rare project opportunity in an absolute top location

"Zum Schützen" - historic building jewel near Belvedere Palace – room for individual living dreams

In close proximity to Belvedere Palace this exceptional old-building project in an absolute top location presents itself as a rare opportunity for lovers of classic Viennese architecture. The property comprises six apartments with living areas of ca. 31 m² to ca. 126,36 m² and 1 to 5 rooms, offering a variety of possibilities – from the charming city apartment to the spacious family apartment.

The historic building is characterized by its typical architectural elements, above all generous ceiling heights, classic old-building wooden windows, and the unmistakable character of a historic dwelling. The apartments are largely in a state of strong renovation need and thus provide the ideal basis to give free rein to individual living dreams and to combine contemporary comfort with historic substance.

Heating is provided partly by gas-fired apartment heaters, but predominantly by gas convectors. The sanitary standard in most apartments does not meet modern living comfort: with the exception of two units, the apartments currently do not have a separate bathroom; in these cases there is only a shower in the kitchen. In the course of a comprehensive renovation, modern bathroom solutions can be implemented without any problems.

There is currently no elevator. Should a lift be constructed at a later date during an attic conversion, lift usage rights can be acquired against a share of the costs.

The stairwell has been comprehensively revitalized and repainted. The building’s facade is also currently being renovated, which significantly enhances the overall appearance of the house. The visualizations of the facade shown were AI-assisted and serve solely to illustrate the planned appearance after completion of the renovations. Deviations from the actual execution are possible.

This project is targeted at buyers who appreciate the charm of a classic old building and are willing to create a unique home in one of Vienna’s most sought-after locations through an individual renovation.

Raw attic space – expansion potential

According to the study, an achievable residential usable area of ca. 301,8 m² can be realized. The purchase price was calculated on the basis of achievable living area and thus amounts to € 299.000,–.

As part of an attic expansion, the installation of a passenger elevator must be provided for. Further planning, submissions, and the concrete design of the attic are to be carried out by the buyer.

A particular added value of this property

For the apartments Top 5 as well as Top 7+8 the construction of a courtyard-facing balcony with a planned area of approximately ca. 9,80 m² each is planned (area figures subject to official approvals and implementation planning).

The seller’s side will undertake the entire submission, planning, coordination and handling of the project as well as the obtaining of the required official approvals. The implementation will, of course, comply with the applicable land-use and development regulations as well as the Vienna Building Code (WBO).

The costs for constructing the respective balcony will be shared between buyer and seller in a 50:50 ratio. The final costs depend on the actual construction costs and will be determined after suitable offers or invoices are available.
