Boasting breathtaking views across Berlin's rooftops, this lavish home in the beating heart of Friedrichshain provides an idyllic base for exploring the city. You'll find it in the lively Boxhagener Kiez neighbourhood, nestled in a leafy corner of Altbau architecture and surrounded by public transport links. Here, you're a four-minute stroll from Boxhagener Platz, famed for its weekly markets and trendy tangle of independent cafes, eateries, bars and boutiques. We love this home's thoughtful design aesthetic. Perched on the top floor, its open-plan layout boasts a loft-style charm adorned with vibrant artwork, stylish decor and high-end appliances. Every aspect of this home promises a want-for-nothing stay, from the fully-fitted kitchen and rooftop dining terrace to the high-end entertainment set-up, complete with a projector and sound system for those cosy movie nights in. Throughout, it's a timeless canvas of white walls, oak parquet floors and large south-facing windows, ushering sunlight to flood the space. Spend mornings roosted on one of the four terraces and balconies, sipping coffee before slipping out to grab brunch - we recommend Silo, a two-minute walk away.

About Friedrichshain
Just across the bridge from Kreuzberg and to the east of Mitte, you find Friedrichshain - a neighbourhood with an edgy, creative and slightly gritty vibe that’s popular with much of Berlin’s artsy crowd and students similar to Kreuzberg and Neukölln. Friedrichshain’s East Berlin heritage is still an integral part of its current identity with the monumental GDR-era boulevard, Karl-Marx-Allee, being one of the main arteries through the neighbourhood.
