Haus im Haus — Architecture, Light and Calm in Dahlem

Directly by Messelpark and close to Roseneck, this address combines the calm of Dahlem with proximity to the city. The established, discreet surroundings are shaped by villas, generous greenery and an exceptionally high quality of living. Shops for daily needs are at Roseneck, in Schmargendorf and in Dahlem-Dorf; the Free University and Dahlem’s museums are within comfortable reach, and the Kurfürstendamm, Potsdam and BER airport are all well connected. The ca. 1,510 sqm community grounds sit immediately by the green — a protected retreat with a park-like atmosphere.

A dialogue between light and structure

On quiet Bernadottestraße, an architectural rarity of West Berlin modernism: this maisonette was realised to a design by architect Gerd Eckel and conveys the rare feeling of having your own house in the green.

On the raised ground floor, the generous living and dining area forms the heart of the apartment. Large window fronts draw the greenery into the room and open the view to the southwest terrace; the open fitted kitchen settles naturally into the clear architecture. A characteristic spiral staircase connects the living level with the garden level, where two quiet rooms — for sleeping, working or dressing — and the full bathroom lie.

Condition & fittings

The apartment was comprehensively modernised in 2020 and presents in like-new condition. Ceiling heights of ca. 2.70 m and solid oak parquet create a warm, calm feel. The raised ground floor holds the living and dining space, the high-quality open kitchen and the ca. 16 sqm southwest terrace; the garden level offers two flexible rooms, a full bath with tub and separate shower, and direct access to the private retreat level.

An underground parking space is included in the purchase price. The apartment is currently furnished — a takeover of the interior is possible by arrangement. A professional alarm system with remote monitoring and connection to a security service is installed.

A home for people who love architecture.
