This elegant introduction to the home provides a practical and inviting space while showcasing the character and quality that are evident throughout the apartment. This multifunctional space can also be used as a laundry room or extra storage space for coats and boots.
From the moment you step inside, the apartment's generous proportions become apparent. High ceilings throughout create a remarkable sense of space and light, while a host of original period features have been carefully preserved, adding both charm and individuality.

The living room is a particularly impressive space, perfectly blending comfort and elegance. Filled with natural light, it offers an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The room's focal point is a beautiful fireplace surround, which serves as a striking feature and reinforces the period character that defines this wonderful home.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
