Superb furnished flat in a period building in Altbogenhausen for rent
A house built in 1900. A flat that looks as though it were finished only yesterday. What has been created here cannot simply be described as ‘modernised’: it is a reinterpretation of the classic Munich townhouse, in which every detail has been carefully chosen.
The approximately 106 sqm are divided into three rooms with ceiling heights of up to 3.26 metres – a sense of spaciousness that is rarely found today. The original preserved oak herringbone parquet, the white panelled doors with their golden brass fittings and the fine stucco details tell the story of the house. The modernisation completed in 2024 responds to this with a clear design language and the highest quality materials – without touching the soul of the building.
The centrepiece is the spacious living and dining area, which elegant sliding doors can transform into two separate rooms if desired. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with light and create a connection to the bustling street, which nevertheless remains pleasantly quiet. The existing fireplace connection is perfect for cosy evenings.
The custom-built kitchen is minimalist yet meticulously designed: handle-free wooden fronts, a natural stone worktop, and Miele appliances from top to bottom. There is also a discreetly concealed coffee station that turns the morning into a little ritual. An integrated alcove creates space for a charming dining area right in the kitchen.
The bedroom area faces the quiet courtyard and enjoys pleasant morning sunlight. An adjoining dressing room ensures everything stays tidy without compromise. The en-suite bathroom features a clean, minimalist design: white mosaic tiles, a floor-level walk-in shower and electric underfloor heating. A separate guest toilet completes the layout.
The covered east-facing balcony opens onto the landscaped courtyard, creating a peaceful retreat. The communal garden, a storage room and on-site bicycle parking facilities complete the package.
The flat is handed over fully furnished. Ready for your first day.
The stairwell sets the tone right from the start: a sweeping, sweeping wooden staircase with a decorative banister rises up beneath a large skylight.
Inside, the look is defined by a few striking features. The oak herringbone parquet – partly original, partly meticulously restored – runs through all the living areas and lends character to every step. White skirting boards, stucco mouldings on the ceilings and panelled doors with period brass fittings form the timeless setting. The sliding door between the living and dining rooms is not only functional, but also a design statement in its own right.
In the kitchen, craftsmanship meets technology: bespoke fitted units with handle-free wooden fronts, a worktop made of light-coloured natural stone, and a full range of Miele appliances, including an induction hob with an integrated extractor, an oven, a fridge-freezer, a wine cooler, a dishwasher and a washing machine. Behind folding doors lies a dedicated coffee station, enhancing everyday moments.
The bathroom echoes the kitchen’s design aesthetic: white mosaic tiles, a flush-mounted Duravit washbasin, concealed taps, a walk-in shower with a rain shower head and electric underfloor heating. The guest WC, which also features parquet flooring and ceiling spotlights, is not an afterthought but has been carefully planned as part of the overall design.
Ceiling spotlights in every room, a wall-mounted designer radiator in the hallway, network cabling, a cable connection and an intercom system ensure a modern lifestyle within a historic setting.
