A loft in Kreuzberg, a boho and alternative neighbourhood in Berlin

Before and even after the fall of the Berlin wall, Kreuzberg, meaning « Hill of the Cross », has always felt like a separate part of this big metropolis. Not far from the old Check Point Charlie, the area welcomes avant-garde intellectuals, restaurants and the city’s most happening night clubs, fronting industrial courtyards with impeccably restored buildings.

Kreuzberg, Berlin, lofts and chic trendsetters

When strolling through the neighbourhood, a feature of the ample-sized apartments catches your eye – beautiful big bay windows lovingly restored by designers in luxury real estate. Behind the brick facade dating back to 1896, this loft features a rooftop overlooking the Berlin skyline.

Bespoke interiors and on-trend decor

The apartment’s ceiling has been reinforced with steel and sprawls across 320 m². There are four bedrooms and a sitting room featuring a fireplace for those cosy winter evenings. The kitchen boasts a central island, a custom design by Boffi. To top it all off, head for the sauna and the 45 m² terrace when you want to relax. We want to start packing and get moving !
