Description

This exceptional villa is defined by its direct beachfront location on the Elbe, unobstructed panoramic views, and a remarkable sense of space that unfolds throughout the entire residence. Behind its classically elegant façade, freshly repainted in 2025, lies a thoughtfully curated home that seamlessly blends the architectural charm of its circa 1906 origins with contemporary comfort and modern technology. The villa extends over four levels, all conveniently and discreetly connected by a wheelchair-accessible private elevator. Originally constructed around 1906, the property underwent an extensive modernization in 2006, preserving its historic character while meeting today’s highest living standards. Generous ceiling heights, balanced proportions, and the harmonious interplay of period details with modern design create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. From every floor, the villa offers uninterrupted views of the Elbe, lending the home a rare sense of calm, quality, and exclusivity that is felt immediately upon entering. The main living level features a welcoming living area with fireplace and heated seating, a modern open-plan kitchen, and an elegant dining room. These spaces can be flexibly interconnected with wide sliding doors, allowing for both open entertaining and intimate living. Expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light while bringing the river landscape directly into the home. A sheltered, south-facing balcony provides a private outdoor space with breathtaking views. This level is further complemented by a versatile office or guest room with an adjacent shower room. The upper floor comprises four well-proportioned rooms, two of which enjoy direct Elbe views. High-quality wooden flooring enhances the villa’s refined character, while the spacious family bathroom with underfloor heating evokes the ambience of a private wellness retreat. The attic level, added in 2006, represents the architectural highlight of the property. Floor-to-ceiling glazing to the south and east frames spectacular river views, creating an extraordinary living experience. Double doors open onto a generous roof terrace, while a sauna, shower room, underfloor heating, and a small kitchenette make it ideal as a luxurious master suite or a fully independent guest apartment. The ground floor offers its own access to the beach path and can be used as a self-contained living area, perfect for older children, guests, an au pair, or live-in staff. Utility and technical rooms are discreetly positioned to the rear. Directly opposite the villa lies the private garden, beautifully set on the Elbe beach, an exceptionally rare feature that completes this extraordinary waterfront residence. This is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a historic European villa in one of Hamburg’s most prestigious riverside locations.

The Blankenese Treppenviertel is one of Hamburg’s most desirable and characterful residential areas. Shaped by narrow pathways, picturesque houses, and a network of approximately 5,000 historic steps winding around the Süllberg hillside, this unique quarter offers an atmosphere unlike any other in the city. Its immediate proximity to the Elbe River, direct access to the waterfront, and exceptional panoramic views contribute to the area’s long-standing desirability and remarkable value stability. Whether you want to walk up historic paths or along the Elbe beach, the bus stop of line 488 (affectionately known by locals as the “Mountain Goat”) can be reached within a few minutes on foot. The minibus provides a regular connection to the center of Blankenese and the train station from where you enjoy direct access to Hamburg’s city center and international airport in under 30 minutes. Blankenese combines urban comfort with an established, refined residential culture. Daycare centers and highly regarded schools, including the Gorch-Fock-Schule and Gymnasium Blankenese, are located nearby, along with a wide range of sports and leisure facilities. The renowned sailing club SV Blankenese and the traditional Falkenstein Golf Club are among the most prestigious addresses in the region. Blankenese’s Bahnhofstraße offers an attractive mix of select boutiques, interior and specialty stores, pharmacies, and delicatessen, complemented by a lively weekly market featuring regional products. A diverse culinary scene and excellent medical care provided by local specialists and general practitioners further enhance everyday life. Living in the Blankenese Treppenviertel means residing in a place that is truly unique in Hamburg, where peace, nature, water, and timeless elegance come together in a rare and lasting way.
