We present this stylish old villa in one of Potsdam's most exclusive and prominent residential areas, the Berliner Vorstadt. The villa was built in 1892 according to plans by the banker Carl Enders on Heiliger See in Potsdam. The building is one of five villas that Carl Enders had built in the Berlin suburbs in the 19th century. The ensemble clearly stands out from comparable properties in terms of its grace and design and is located in the most popular street in the Berlin suburbs.

With a fantastic plot of approx. 1,109 m² with water access, approx. 462 m² of living space on the main floor and second floor and a further 395 m² of usable space, this villa offers an exceptional living experience. The successful arrangement of visual and spatial axes in conjunction with the villa's well thought-out floor plan creates harmony and delights right from the start.

The conversion, renovation and modernization took place in 2011/2012 and was carried out by the well-known architects Müller-Stüler and Höll from Berlin. The work was not only based on the floor plans from the period of construction, but also historically valuable and characteristic details (tower, double-glazed windows, floorboards, etc.) were refurbished and restored. The villa was also extensively modernized again in 2023 and offers the new buyer a modern and as-new living experience.

This is mainly due to the careful selection of materials and colors as well as the many detailed features such as round arches, wood paneling, clinkered front spits and window sills. The choice of materials has resulted in a very successful mix of old and modern. Particular emphasis was placed on natural building materials and fabrics. The individual rooms are complemented by custom-made built-in wardrobes, stylish wooden heating panels, wood paneling and elegant curtains.

You reach the villa via a beautifully landscaped garden path with tasteful planting and an inviting entrance area, which is located in the tower of the house.

Once you arrive at the villa, you will be greeted by an impressive and stylish staircase that connects all floors. The main floor features a high-quality eat-in kitchen, a spacious living and dining room with sensational water views of Lake Heiliger See, an elegant bathroom and two study or guest rooms. The kitchen is equipped with brand-name appliances including Gaggenau and an elegant marble worktop and has just been modernized. From the kitchen you have direct access to the beautifully landscaped garden and a terrace that invites you to linger. The study and guest room faces the street and is characterized above all by the charm of the old building, including the stucco, double casement windows, a bay window and herringbone-style strip parquet flooring.

The impressive staircase leads to the private apartments. The upper floor is perfectly laid out and offers space for four bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms, a dressing room and two balconies. The dressing room and bathroom are conveniently connected to the master bedroom. The dressing room is complemented by a spacious, custom-made and illuminated closet. The bathrooms are fitted with fine marble, walk-in showers with huge glass fronts or double washbasins. You will also find luxurious elements such as fittings or the free-standing vintage bathtub from the traditional brand TRADITIONAL BATHROOMS. This floor is rounded off by two balconies. While one balcony overlooks the charming and green street, the other offers a sweeping view over the lake towards the New Garden and the Green House.

One floor up, there is an as yet undeveloped attic with ample storage space and a staircase to the tower. From the tower you have a wonderful panoramic view. This space is particularly popular on New Year's Eve. The attic or the cellar rooms offer potential for expansion. A conversion could create approx. 160 m² of space in the attic and approx. 100 m² in the basement and create wonderful areas for a fitness area, sauna, guest or au pair room or a wine cellar, for example. We will be happy to provide you with sample floor plans and inspiration after a viewing. The extension of the roof and cellar was already examined and approved in the building permit/building application at the time. However, the feasibility and approval must currently be checked again and individually by the buyer.

The villa's garden has been beautifully landscaped and offers plenty of green space as well as room for flower beds or a seating area under the mature trees. The highlight here is certainly the direct access to the Heiliger See lake. The garden is completed by a summer kitchen, which adjoins a large terrace from which you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Heiliger See. The garden is also equipped with an irrigation system.

In the basement there are also the necessary technical and heating rooms, a utility room and a bathroom with shower. The basement also has separate access to the garden, the garage and the summer kitchen.

The property is rounded off with a garage and an outdoor parking space for your car.
