Description

Diese exceptional duplex apartment uniquely combines architectural history, stylish design, and urban living. The two combined units on the garden level and raised ground floor are located in the former studio house of renowned architect Bernhard Pfau, who once designed the famous Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus (Düsseldorf Playhouse) here. The listed building from 1956 is still regarded as an impressive example of Pfau’s commitment to transparency, light, and lightness in architecture. The entire building was comprehensively renovated in 2018 and comprises only five residential units—a rare combination of privacy, architectural significance, and inner-city tranquility. The apartment impresses with its extraordinary light conditions, generous sightlines, and open sense of space. While the view to the front faces a small green area with a playground and down the street, to the rear it opens onto a wonderfully mature, quiet inner courtyard. On the raised ground floor are the spacious living and dining area, the open-plan kitchen, and the private sleeping area. Large window surfaces, distinctive wired-glass windows, and ceiling heights of up to approx. 2.85 meters create a bright, inspiring living atmosphere. A staircase leads to the garden level with a conservatory and access to the approx. 200 m² garden for exclusive special use. This private outdoor area forms the centerpiece of the property and offers ideal conditions for relaxing, quiet hours in the greenery—right in the middle of the urban environment. The garden level offers additional possible uses, for example as a studio, guest area, home office, or quiet retreat. A further kitchen provision is already in place here as well. High-quality materials such as wooden floorboards, marble, and natural stone lend the apartment timeless elegance. On the garden level, underfloor heating provides pleasant living comfort. The stylishly appointed bathroom features, in addition to a bathtub and walk-in shower, a high-quality TOTO Washlet toilet. Another plus is the nearby rented underground parking space, which can be taken over for only €60 per month. In addition, a cellar room is available, accessible directly from the apartment. This property is aimed in particular at design-oriented singles or couples, creatives, architecture lovers, and people who want to enjoy the vibrant life in the heart of the city without having to forgo peace, greenery, and privacy.

Location: Düsseldorf-Stadtmitte, Düsseldorf

Stephanienstraße 26 is located in a central yet pleasantly secluded setting in Düsseldorf city center. The surroundings uniquely combine culture, architecture, gastronomy, and established green spaces and stand as a symbol of genuine urban life in the heart of Düsseldorf. A particular advantage of the location is its immediate proximity to the Hofgarten, Düsseldorf’s oldest public park, which is among the city’s most popular green areas and offers exceptional recreational value right in the inner city. At the same time, the Schauspielhaus, the Kö-Bogen, and the Deutsche Oper am Rhein—some of Düsseldorf’s most important cultural and architectural landmarks—are located nearby. In addition, the new Düsseldorf Opera is planned for this area, which is likely to further increase the site’s cultural significance in the future. Equally defining for the neighborhood is the adjacent Japanese Quarter around Immermannstraße, renowned far beyond Düsseldorf. Authentic restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and specialty shops give the district an international, vibrant flair. The mix of urban dynamism, cultural diversity, and an established community makes this location particularly appealing. Düsseldorf’s city center, with its wide range of shopping, dining, and cultural offerings, is easily accessible. These include, among others, Königsallee, Schadowstraße, numerous museums and galleries, as well as a large selection of high-quality restaurants and cafés. The well-known EDEKA Zurheide is also located nearby. Public transport connections are excellent. The main railway station, several subway and tram lines, as well as key traffic routes can be reached quickly. This allows you to get around Düsseldorf as well as to the airport and to the surrounding cities of the Rhine-Ruhr region in a short time. As is typical for a true inner-city location, the area is deliberately diverse and lively. The proximity to the main station brings a wide variety of people, impressions, and dynamics—this very mix gives the district its urban character and special authenticity. The location is aimed at people who value Düsseldorf’s cultural and urban life, prefer short distances, and at the same time do not want to forgo greenery, tranquility, and an architectural ambiance.
