Property description

According to the documentation, the apartment's area is 38.3 m², while thanks to the mezzanine and additional space under the sloped ceilings, which is not included in the official square footage, the total available area is approximately 50 m² . The apartment was finished in 2023 and has not been used as a primary residence since then. The interior was designed with great attention to functionality and maximum utilization of available space. Numerous custom-made built-ins provide ample storage space while maintaining the light and uncluttered character of the interior.

The centerpiece of the apartment is a bright living space with an open, comfortable kitchen. The bedroom is located on a mezzanine, accessed by a wooden staircase. The apartment also features a modern bathroom with high-quality finishes and functional storage space.

The preserved original wooden beams of the attic structure, combined with light-colored walls and a wooden floor, lend the interior a distinctive character. Wood is also used on the mezzanine and stairs, creating a cohesive and timeless space.

One of the property's greatest advantages is its top-floor location and exceptional views . From the living room and bedroom, you can admire the Krakow panorama, including Wawel Castle and the towers of St. Mary's Church . Windows are located on both sides of the building, providing eastern and western exposure , ample natural light, and excellent natural ventilation. In addition to a large , remote-controlled skylight, the living room features a full-size vertical window with a wide external window sill that can be used as a planting area. Year-round comfort is ensured by electric underfloor heating with the ability to independently control the temperature in each room, also via an app, and air conditioning installed in both the main part of the apartment and the mezzanine bedroom.

Building

The property is located in a historic tenement house dating back to 1906, listed in the Municipal Register of Historic Monuments of the City of Krakow. The building retains the historic character typical of this part of the city.

The apartment is located on the fourth and top floor of the building. There are only three units on this level, providing a greater sense of privacy.

The housing association has approved the elevator's construction, and funding for the project has been secured. According to current plans, the elevator will provide direct access to the apartment level. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2027, with the final completion date dependent on the association's decision and schedule.
