Finding Happiness

Finding happiness

… is sometimes quite easy. Especially when you are looking for a charming home with the certain extra.

This apartment is a symbol of that – located in the heart of Vienna's urban environment and yet you live here in the greenery (at least soon again, when the wintry cold and the fog retreat and spring makes room).

Two longings are fulfilled here, which seem incompatible. On the one hand, to be able to take advantage of what is offered when living in a metropolis and on the other hand, to retreat to the green at any time; to catch one's breath, to leave the pulsating city behind.

In front of the building designed in 1910 by Ernst Epstein and Adolf Loos, nothing yet hints that gardening here will be a source of positive energy. If you look from the outside at the artfully arranged façade, you enter the building through the heavy oak gate and already on the short ascent you notice the numerous elements that testify to days gone by, then you consider yourself lucky that the original beauty of the classic old building has been preserved, withstood the passage of time.

And if one is already enthusiastic about the traditional craftsmanship before entering the apartment, an entirely different world opens up inside:

Beyond the modern cold that new buildings usually possess, you are warmly welcomed here by earthy charm. It is a journey into the past, into a time when natural materials were valued – in the sunlight, a dazzlingly glossy parquet floor that takes up the natural tones in front of the windows and shines from yellow through orange to red, high double-wing doors, timelessly beautiful casement windows. All these details tell stories about the decades that came and went, without you being able to tell the time by them.

To begin with, unemotionally, in numbers: here your living ideas are on a floor area of ca. 197 square meters, beside the magnificent main room, three additional generous rooms, a "Wintergarten", a kitchen, a bathroom, a separate toilet, two storage rooms and the foyer available. Completed and – if this even seems possible – enhanced by a loggia and a garden.

Yet affection is not developed through facts, but through experiences. And even if nothing can replace a personal viewing, let us try to stimulate your imagination a little and, with you, narratively traverse the rooms on a stroll into history:

Let us begin in the rooms that face the little garden, from which, through the classic casement windows, you will soon experience the onset of spring, the moments when nature sheds its stiffness – the generous retreat of the living area opens toward the loggia; you no longer feel you are in Vienna. This room, as well as the terrace areas, stands for the big stage, for gathering, for communication, for sociability with family, friends, and acquaintances.

Terrace and garden are an island in everyday life, inviting design, planting, tending and care. Also to enjoy the closeness to nature. Choose your look: whether colorful, tidy and defined; whether in lush green, with a touch of enchanted mood – and enjoy every day the feeling that you have planted and grown something yourself.

A counterpoint, the place of deceleration, is the small "Wintergarten" – at any time of day and year, in any weather. Cozy in size, flooded with light by the large windows, it is a quiet zone with a view. This place made to be alone, to enjoy the silence, to let thoughts wander.

And what lies between these rooms – spatially, as well as with regard to the future "Belebung" – awaits your individual design. Take your time in furnishing, be creative, mix old with new, aim for harmony and contrast. It is up to your own skill to arrange here the most beautiful of living spaces – the incomparable framework for your ideas leaves nothing out, fuels the imagination. And even if in a prewar apartment you sometimes have to improvise when furnishing – isn’t that exactly what makes living so exciting?

Already furnished, the spacious kitchen presents modern design at its best. The fronts, kept in a warm wood tone, contrast unmistakably with the cool glass of the back wall cladding, as with the metallic appliance fronts and the gray worktop.

Also in the bathroom, the spaciousness that characterized this apartment reigns, and the understatedly classic tiling nicely captures its aura – undisturbed the comprehensive sanitary equipment, consisting of a bathtub, a shower, a washbasin and a toilet, has found its place.

An additional available (guest) WC also ensures that the bathroom retains the necessary privacy when you have visitors.

This is not just an apartment – it is a home that makes the heart beat faster. It is a place that you will enliven and build a relationship with over years – you will feel it yourself!

The real estate agent explains that he, contrary to the customary practice in the real estate industry of the dual agent, acts solely for the landlord.

Please note:

• For the kitchenette, including the devices installed / present, no furniture rent is charged – on the part of the landlord therefore no warranty for the (future) function of the fixtures / devices is given, nor would repairs / replacement work be carried out at the landlord's instruction and expense (except for category-defining characteristics).

• The use of the garden is exclusively reserved for the tenant(s) of the subject apartment – however, when using it, one should consider that also tenants of the higher floors have living spaces whose windows face the garden area (here, in a spirit of good communal living, there should be no improper disturbances). The tenant(s) are in this respect however obliged to regularly maintain the garden (e.g., remove leaves), otherwise the regular maintenance of the garden would have to be arranged and externally awarded at the tenant's expense.

• Parts of the building and/or the apartment itself are not barrier-free accessible.

• The photos of the loggia and garden stammen from a previous marketing of the apartment.
