Urban Refuge

A House with History, Retold

In a quiet lane in Liesing, named after a sculptor, one of the most extraordinary residential villas currently to be found in Vienna lies hidden behind an old brick façade and dense greenery. Built in 1903, this property was revitalized with the utmost care and respect for its origins—not renovated in the conventional sense, but carefully restored.

What makes this house so special is its history. Originally divided into several small residential units, it was returned to its spacious original form in an elaborate process of deconstruction and reconstruction. Old bricks from the turn of the century were collected, cleaned and reused for newly constructed walls. Not a single new brick was used in the process. Historic attic bricks were cut open and are now used as flooring in the upper and attic floors, as are the reconditioned old wooden floorboards, which were laid as visible plank flooring in the attic. Former façade windows became distinctive interior windows, and the open wooden structure of the upper floor was deliberately preserved as a design element. The result is a home that combines patina and perfection, history and modern comfort in a rare way.

Generosity on Three Levels

Approximately 445 m² of residential floor space accommodate eight rooms, three bathrooms and numerous living and retreat spaces across the ground floor, upper floor and converted attic. The ground floor welcomes you with a light-filled living and dining room that merges directly with the terrace and garden through floor-to-ceiling glazing. On the upper floor, you will find a spacious living area, a private library and several rooms with historic charm. The converted attic impresses with exposed beams, restored plank flooring and its own terrace, offering a quiet retreat with a special atmosphere.

The Garden as the Centrepiece

An old, dense stand of trees unfolds across the 721 m² plot, giving the property a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity. Generous terrace areas of approx. 103 m² extend the living area in summer and create sunny as well as shaded retreats. The garden is visible from almost every room in the house and connects the interior and exterior into a harmonious whole, a green oasis in the middle of the city.

Living and Working under One Roof

A particular advantage of this villa is the spacious, separately accessed office or practice area in the front part of the ground floor, with its own entrance hall and WC. At approximately 55 m², it offers ideal conditions for anyone wishing to combine professional and private spaces under one roof, whether as a medical practice, architectural office, law office or studio. The clear spatial separation from the private living area enables professional reception of clients without sacrificing short distances and the flexibility of working from home.

A Location with Its Own Character

The location in the 23rd district may not be the classic prestigious address of Vienna’s city centre, and that is precisely its appeal. Here, in a quiet, green residential lane, you will find genuine respite from city life without having to give up urban infrastructure. A bakery, supermarket and kindergarten can be reached on foot in one to two minutes, the bus connection is practically on the doorstep, and Atzgersdorf railway station can be reached on foot in just a few minutes. Schools, doctors and pharmacies are also in the immediate vicinity. Anyone looking for a residential location with far-reaching views, garden quality and village-like tranquillity while still wanting to reach the centre quickly will find a rare balance here.

A House with Soul

This property is more than real estate. It is a home with history, newly created for the future with great craftsmanship, attention to detail and respect for the past. For families who value individuality and character, for self-employed professionals who wish to combine living and working, and for anyone looking for a truly unique property in Vienna, this city villa offers a rare opportunity.
