A front-row seat above the treetops: a listed mansard flat with sweeping views

Turn-of-the-century charm meets a relaxed loft-style atmosphere: This enchanting period flat, with its charming mansard roof and dormers, is situated on the 4th floor of a listed townhouse dating from around 1900. Spanning approximately 110 m², it offers well-proportioned, flexible rooms that can be adapted to suit individual needs. The four-storey mansard-roofed building exudes old-world charm with its dormers, gable end and bay windows in the German Renaissance style. Directly opposite, Walchenseeplatz in Obergiesing, with its historic ‘Pinguin’ fountain dating from 1931, invites you to take a short break amidst the greenery, whilst a café right in the building turns the neighbourhood into an extension of your living room.

The historic staircase, renovated in 2004/05 and featuring a decorative wrought-iron banister and terracotta tiles, leads to the central entrance hall with its ornamental border. The flat comprises three rooms, including two bedrooms, with the option of a fourth. The spacious living area can be used flexibly: at present, a fold-away, loft-style partition divides the space into a study and a cosy living room. Generous ceiling heights of up to approx. 2.74 metres and plenty of natural light create an open, bright atmosphere. Adjoining one of the rooms is a small south-west-facing balcony, which gives the feeling of floating above the treetops – on days when the Föhn wind blows, the view stretches as far as the Alps. The high-quality, naturally lit bathroom with a bath beneath the dormer window combines timeless style with comfort; it is possible to extend the property to include a shower room and a guest WC.

Oak herringbone parquet flooring, panelled doors with leaded glass inserts, a period stove and frieze paintings in the turn-of-the-century style bear witness to the splendour of days gone by, whilst modern details such as a glass front with black struts add exciting accents. The flat was renovated to a high standard and in a stylish manner between 2001 and 2003, followed in 2025 by a renovation of the façade and windows carried out by the owners’ association. A private cellar, a spacious bicycle storage room and a newly landscaped, green inner courtyard with a rose arch and seating areas for communal use round off the property’s features.
