Bornstraße 6, Hamburg

About the property

A skylit fourth-floor penthouse crowned by a private 360° rooftop terrace, set in an 1898 Art Nouveau building in the heart of Rotherbaum's

Although the building is not listed as a recognized historic landmark in Hamburg, its historic architecture—which has been meticulously preserved—conveys the distinctive character of a stylish Art Nouveau structure. Following the attic conversion around 1997, this well-maintained, self-managed residential complex comprises a total of 13 residential units, distributed across the basement, raised ground floor, two upper floors, and the subsequently converted attic. The moment you enter the building, the excellent quality of the property is evident: stucco elements throughout, a decorative tiled backsplash, and the classic design of the entrance hall create a grand introduction to a property with plenty of atmosphere and even more history. The penthouse offered here, measuring approximately 98 m², is located on the 4th floor and thus forms the exclusive crowning touch of the building. High above the lively Grindelviertel neighborhood, an exceptionally bright and truly unique retreat unfolds, combining the character of historic architecture with the charm of attic living in a special way.
