the property is located in a quiet side street lined with classic period buildings in the heart of charlottenburg — just a short walk from charlottenburg palace and its expansive parklands. the surroundings feel both urban and sheltered, defined by mature tree-lined streets, representative architecture and a pleasantly secluded residential atmosphere.
charlottenburg palace gardens and schustehrus park nearby provide attractive green spaces for walking, exercise and relaxation. at the same time, one of the most culturally engaging districts of berlin’s western inner city lies virtually at the doorstep, with museums such as the bröhan museum, the berggruen museum and the käthe kollwitz museum, as well as changing events around the palace.
local amenities are comfortably organised: shops, delicatessens, wine merchants, boutiques, cafés and restaurants are all within walking distance, complemented by weekly markets at klausenerplatz and karl-august-platz offering fresh produce and a genuine neighbourhood character. public transport connections are excellent, with several underground lines (including u2 and u7) and nearby s-bahn stations providing easy access across the city, while the a100 city motorway can be reached quickly by car.

Just a few steps from Charlottenburg Palace, this stylish townhouse from 1850 offers a rare opportunity in Berlin’s City West: a fully vacant residential and commercial property with historic character, well-maintained substance and remarkable versatility. The property comprises four residential units in the main building as well as a separate commercial unit in the ancillary building; a partially heated basement level further complements the offering.
The property has been carefully maintained and selectively developed over decades. Key modernisation measures were carried out as early as the 1980s, with further interventions sustainably improving the building envelope. Most recently, in 2025, the interiors of the residential units were comprehensively upgraded to a contemporary standard: hardwood floors were renewed or restored, bathrooms and the staircase refurbished, and fittings consistently updated in detail.
An atmospheric highlight is the quiet, landscaped, south-facing courtyard — offering the relaxed “New York townhouse” charm of a private backyard. The commercial unit in the two-storey ancillary building expands the range of possible uses to include studio, atelier, practice or office functions. Together with realistic development potential, this creates an exceptional property whose full depth is best appreciated during a personal viewing.
