The luxuriously stylish one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings in a fantastic location welcomes the new owners of Grand Residence 21!

This beautiful home is in perhaps one of Helsinki’s most beautiful neighborhoods. The atmosphere of the wonderful Johannes Church and its park on the other side of the road, surrounded by many beautiful residential buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, surrounded by welcoming street level shops on Korkeavuorenkatu, restaurants and cafes. The sea and Kaivopuisto are a short walk away, and in the other direction all services, shops and cultural offerings in the absolute center are also a short walk away.

If the location of the building is remarkably excellent, the building itself where this very functional city apartment is located is one of Helsinki’s most beautiful. Today, this is undeniably the most beautiful landmark in the area known as Grand Residence 21, but the construction also goes by the name Ohrana’s House. Built in 1889, the new renaissance building has gone through a long, colorful history written in many books with many significant people who influenced the building, from the Russian Tsar’s secret police to the Ministry of Defense and from the General Staff to Mannerheim.

Grand Residence 21 has undergone a complete renovation in 2019. In this case, the roofs and facades have been renewed, as well as the windows and the building’s constructions have been renewed and partly skillfully restored by hand. The plumbing/electrical/heating/cooling technology has been completely renewed in the building and the fully automatic underground parking system was also completed in 2019.

Grand Residence 21 offers its residents rare quality residential services usually only enjoyed abroad. Concierge service offers, for example, catering and reception, cleaning, and thus facilitates the resident’s everyday life, as well as carefree absences for longer periods of time. However, none of these services adds to the monthly service charge, which is very low. EUR1.95 per square meter per month, thanks to the housing company’s annual income of around EUR380,000. The bakery Levain, which will soon open on the street level, will give its own international touch to the lives of the residents. If you are looking for a Finnish tradition, residents can reserve the building’s sauna for their own use.

This home that is now for sale is for you who are looking for a carefree and centrally located city home in a good housing company. The building itself charms with its beauty, but also the 3.5-meter-high room height in this apartment and the wonderful old arched windows make the visitors fall in love with what they see immediately upon entering the apartment. The Design Museum’s beautiful brick wall opposite only confirms this image. There are not too many m2 in this apartment, but all the functions of a practical home are still in place; from the kitchen with good work surfaces and space solutions to the spacious living room, to the perfectly designed bedroom, which also houses a work corner, to the stylish and spacious bathroom. There is plenty of storage space in the kitchen, hall, bedroom, and bathroom. In this home, everything seems to be in place, what one would hope for in a home like this.

Life within these frameworks has been part of Helsinki’s most elegant city life for over 130 years, and it still is. Would you like to be a part of this history while living a carefree life in this charming home? Please get in touch for a private viewing of this wonderful home.
