General overview
Cool penthouse with two terraces on different levels with 360 degree views over Berlin. It is located in the extremely cosmopolitan district of Neukölln, in the best area for food, bars and culture in Berlin.
We are mainly looking for longterm exchanges, minimum 12 months, but are open to suggestions on where.
Having said that we are at the moment looking specifically for a Bali exchange from March 2025 until December 2025.
The space
The house was built in 1912, but our roof top was constructed by us in 2016.
The center in this unique apartment is one huge room with a top-modern kitchen with all equipment, living area, dining area and library. Windows covers a big part of the south side and it is all dominated by a huge half round window measuring 3x4 meters. Due to the construction of the roof top it is a nice oasis even though it is situated on a street full of bars and restaurants.
At the same level as the big room there is an 27 sqm L-shaped terrace facing the back yard and shaded by a big tree. From here there is a stair leading up the real gem of this apartment – a 40 sqm roof top terrace with a garden and outdoor kitchen. The vision You get over Berlin is an unobstructed 360 degree view.
Total living area 185 square meters (1990 square feet) , 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.
The master bedroom is 35 sqm and have it´s own integrated bath room with a separate toilet. There is a big french balcony and a kingsize double bed. There is also a direct exit to the lower terrace.
The kid bedroom has a big cupola window in the ceiling. Sleeps two .
The third bedroom can also be used as a combined home office/guest room that comfortably sleeps two persons. That was how we used it.
The main bathroom have both a shower and a bathtub. There is also a washing machine and a dry tumbler in a separate room.
Guest access
We are in the attic on the 5th floor and since this is a historic Berliner building there is no elevator. The exercise going up the stairs comes as a bonus and once you open the door it will be worth every step.
Notes
Only longterm exchanges.

Neighbourhood
The apartment is right in the middle of one of the liveliest areas of Berlin, the so called KreuzKölln. It is the border zone between hip Kreuzberg and upcoming Neukölln.
The block where we live is oozing with bars, restaurants and cool small shops and every week something new is opening up. It is also a very multicultural area where You will meet people from all walks of life. Despite this our street is relatively quiet since it is small and traffic therefore very limited. If You come by car yourself it is easy to find free parking in the area.
Around the corner from us is the small, but nice, park om Reuterplatz. A few minutes walk is Hermannplatz with two subways going different directions. Three blocks away You find the water in the form of Landwehrkanal and here the Turkish market comes on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Getting to my home
Buy a ticket to Berlin, land on the new airport, take a taxi and 20 minutes later you can step out on the roof terrace to admire Berlin.
Nearest airport
Berlin Brandenburg Airport is 20 minutes with taxi. There is also excellent public transport and this takes around 50 minutes.
Getting around
There is excellent public transport both buses and subway around the corner. All you need when it comes to shopping is just down the stairs.

We are open to travels all around the world, but at the moment we are on a long term exchange in Bali, Indonesia.
Tempt us with anything from long weekends to longer trips in South East Asia and Australia/New Zeeland. Big cities, countryside and remote wilderness is on our travel menu.
We are also looking for an exchange on Bali (we decided to stay a bit longer) from January 2025 until June/July 2025. We can offer our big penthouse in Berlin in exchange..
We are also trying to plan the next step in our lives so from June/July/August 2025 we are open for a new long term exchange first on our list is Lisbon. So if you have a home there and want to spend a year in Berlin, please contact us.
But we are also open to anywhere in the world where our then 12 year old will find a nice English speaking school and a good football club.
