It is a gem dating back to Imperial Germany, and an asset to Berlin as architectural landmark: Riehmers Hofgarten. At the time, Wilhelm Riehmer let his courage and visionary zeal as builder inspire him to bypass urban planning standards in favour of upscale liveability. Instead of pursuing a dense development of tenements grouped around tiny courtyards, the master builder created a lavish ensemble on his plot in 1891/1892, embedded in a park-like garden. With attention to detail and the diligence of a heritage curator, the splendid heritage site has now been largely restored. It positively beams with its regained historic glamour. The patrician façades shine with bright structures while the staircases are dominated by warm earthy colours. The entrance doors to houses and flats, windows and stair railings were overhauled true to their original historic design. Partially uncovered frescoes on the mezzanine levels illustrate the artful aesthetics of a bygone era. To meet sophisticated expectations, modern-day quality was seamlessly integrated. The lighting system as well as the bell systems complete the authentic design by adding upscale state-of-the-art technology. Water supply lines and waste water pipes were replaced, while heating and electrical installations were upgraded or replaced. A total of eleven entranceways named after scions of the Hohenzollern dynasty provide access to the various buildings of the baroque-revival complex. Thus, the entranceway at Grossbeerenstrasse 56 B, whose stairway will take you up to this tenant-occupied flat on the first floor, is called Berthold. Dividing into four bedrooms on a footprint of 116 square metres, the flat accommodates various domestic arrangements. As part of the building community, residents have the use of the garden whose groomed trails, picnic lawns, boule court and playground offer various options for taking breaks, hanging out and having a good time.
In global city rankings, Berlin has been among the top ten for years. Complex cultural events, an engaging way of life, and a unique history have earned the metropolis its global renown. It motivates millions of visitors every year to come to Berlin to see for themselves. Over the past decade, about 400,000 of them were so captivated by the city that they decided to stay for good. To be sure, a high level of liveability makes it easy to fall in love with Berlin. But the city has so much more to offer. As a science hub, Berlin offers skills and knowledge in just about any scientific field you can think of. Moreover, Germany’s capital of start-up businesses has developed an economic dynamic that attracts companies from inside and outside the country. Its location in the European heartland recommends it as place of business every bit as much as its ability to provide high-skilled graduates and its proximity to the start-up scene with its innovative potential for prospering businesses of tomorrow. In Kreuzberg, the impulsive energy of young generations is keenly felt and reflected in up-and-coming trends. Aside from this district’s centrality and legendary hipness, life here is defined by a highly productive cultural scene and by creative diversity. Especially the Bergmannstrasse has enormous appeal. Every store here is one of a kind—whether it sells wine, pastry or coffee, antique junk, designer artefacts or vintage goods by the pound, gourmet dog food, vegan takeaway food or famous sausages—while the space in between is dotted with cinemas, theatres and churches that occasionally double as concert halls. All of this embedded in a historic setting of streets that are testimony to the cultural heritage of the city. Viktoriapark, Gleisdreieck Park or the vast grasslands of the former Tempelhof airport grounds provide plenty of outdoor space for local recreation and leisure activities.
This tenant-occupied 4-bedroom flat at Grossbeerenstrasse 56 B presents a lucrative buy-to-let investment opportunity at the refurbished Riehmers Hofgarten residential complex. The staircase in the Berthold entranceway will take you up to the unit on the second floor. Its footprint of about 116 square metres divides into four rooms, a bathroom and a guest WC. On top of that, it includes a balcony and a store room. From the front door, you cross the hallway into the far corner to get to the rest of the flat. On your left, you will find two bedrooms of 14 square metres each. The hallway then takes you to an eat-in kitchen of 19 square metres. Behind it lies the balcony room of 22 square metres, the obvious choice for a living room. All of these rooms face the courtyard garden area. On the right side of the hallway, overlooking the backyard, lies the fourth bedroom together with the guest WC, the tub-equipped bathroom and a closet. A basement storage locker is also assigned to the unit. The flat features all the elements that typify period buildings, like board floors, historic plaster mouldings on high ceilings, wooden doors and double-cased windows which were overhauled on the outside. Visitors are admitted via a modern bell and intercom system. The mail box system was also replaced in the course of the refurbishment. Beneath the courtyard lies an underground car park. Roofed-over parking spaces for buggies and bicycles are available as well. This is a great opportunity to invest in a generously proportioned flat, and to benefit long-term from the capital appreciation of the refurbished complex.
