At Arkonaplatz: Stunning loft with outstanding features, balcony, elevator, panoramic views and fireplace 10115 Berlin

At Arkonaplatz: Renovated loft with outstanding features, balcony, elevator, panoramic views and fireplace Hidden in the second courtyard of a classic Berlin Altbau, this exceptional former factory building with its striking brick façade reveals itself as a true architectural gem. Originally designed as a brush factory, the quiet rear building—perfectly shielded by the front and side wings—was carefully and stylishly revitalized by 2021. A historic staircase with stone steps and a modern retrofitted elevator provide comfortable access to the upper floors. The building also features a basement level with a private cellar storage unit as well as a 1/4 special usage right to a high-quality fitness room. The original structure of the former factory was extensively restored, all building services were completely renewed, and the vaulted ceilings were filled with sound-insulating lightweight concrete—ensuring excellent impact sound insulation between the individual lofts, comparable to modern new-build standards. The impressive loft on the third floor spans approximately 185 m² and captivates with its high vaulted ceilings, restored steel beams and columns, and new insulated mullioned windows with white-painted wooden frames. Custom-made steel-and-glass interior elements echo the steel columns and underline the building’s industrial character. The former freight elevator next to the living area has been transformed into a charming winter garden with artistic wall design. Floors are finished in polished poured concrete, while a sophisticated lighting concept with recessed floor spotlights highlights the historic steel structures. Solid metal switches and numerous ceiling outlets with high-quality light fixtures add further design accents. Upon entering, a generous living area opens with an open-plan Minacciolo kitchen (Mina series in matte black), designed around a bold, brutalist-style kitchen island that flows seamlessly into the living space. On the west side, foldable window elements lead out to the balcony, offering open views across the low-rise surrounding buildings. A special highlight is the flexible floor plan: the room currently used as a guest or study area next to the kitchen is separated from the living space by sound-insulated glass elements. If desired, an additional room can be created in the same style, allowing the loft to be easily converted into a four-room apartment—without compromising its open character or sense of space. The master bedroom is equipped with a monoblock air-conditioning unit and leads into a well-designed, spacious walk-in dressing room with a designer shelving system. The en-suite bathroom features a shower, washbasin and separate toilet. Here, floral-glazed lava stone tiles from Sicily meet exposed brickwork, complemented by a towel radiator, matte black fittings, Cielo ceramics and high-end bathroom fixtures. The guest bathroom, accessed from the living area behind the fitted kitchen, offers equally high-quality finishes, including a shower, toilet and custom-designed vanity. This move-in-ready apartment combines lovingly restored industrial charm with premium fittings and an exceptional attention to detail.
