A very rare apartment in Ullanlinna, preserved almost entirely in the original spirit of the early 1900s!
This exceptional apartment in Ullanlinna feels like a frozen moment in time, where carefully handcrafted details, a calming atmosphere, and the timeless aesthetics of a bygone era take your thoughts far back. Here, it feels as if the rush of everyday life fades away already in the hallway. This is not just a home, this is a complete experience.
Over the years, the apartment has been lovingly restored and renovated with great respect for its history, preserving original elements. In the kitchen, the carpenter-made, linseed oil-painted cabinets and solid wood countertops radiate a genuine appreciation for natural materials and traditions. The working wood stove brings warmth from another era into daily life, not just as decoration, but as a cozy and practical part of everyday living. The magnificent gas stove and other high-quality kitchen appliances make cooking a true pleasure in this home.
The original spirit of the apartment has been preserved incredibly well. The old, beautifully colored wooden floors, classic baseboards, and details such as corner and wall cabinets and the old interior doors form a whole that is both homely, fascinating, and deeply touching. It feels as if every surface here tells its own story.
The windows face both south and north, overlooking peaceful inner courtyards, filling the rooms with pleasant natural light. In the largest rooms, the living room and the main bedroom, there is a calm and inviting atmosphere, where the tiled stoves add warmth and coziness. The approximately 3.30-meter ceiling height simultaneously gives the rooms a sense of spaciousness and elegance.
The housing company has been well maintained, with major renovations carried out regularly. Pipes, electrical systems, and the roof have been updated multiple times, and windows have been replaced over the years. Additionally, residents have access to a cozy wood-heated sauna, offering a chance to relax in peace. All of this guarantees a carefree and enjoyable living experience.
This home is a rare combination of old architectural elegance, the quiet beauty of craftsmanship, and modern functionality. Several bedrooms, a room once soundproofed for music practice, very spacious cellar and attic storage spaces, the ability to dry laundry right under your own window, the list could go on. There are many details here worthy of special mention.
