Historic villa by the Königsforst

This picturesque listed villa is truly a special example of the city’s historic architecture. Enclosed by a wall that already hints at the property’s charm and generosity, a gate—passing the former studio building—opens onto a fitting driveway leading up to the estate. The park-like garden with pond and mature trees invites you to dream. “Haus Moest” was built in 1907 by architect Franz Brantzky for sculptor Josef Moest and is distinguished by its arcade, round tower, columns and bay windows as a characteristic work. In 2004, the villa underwent extensive, monument-compliant renovation. The entrance is protected by a glass canopy; the front door has been preserved in its original form. Inside, many elements from the original period have also been retained. High ceilings, mullioned windows and doors, as well as parquet and wooden plank floors provide the classic setting. The floor plan, with a circular flow on the ground and upper floors, further enhances the spaciousness of the living areas. Adjoining the kitchen with pantry, in a timeless black-and-white tile design, is the dining room, which transitions through an atmospheric, stained-glass double door into the living room. The timber-beam ceiling and substantial fireplace lend the room a cozy feel. The semicircular terrace leading into the garden, with its large columns, is partly covered and exceptionally idyllic—here, completely surrounded by greenery, you can enjoy a country-like way of life. On the upper floor there is a spacious en-suite bathroom with natural light, two rooms decorated with coffered wall panels and an adjoining large balcony, as well as the cozy tower room with a small balcony. A solid oak staircase leads to the attic, where there is also a large bathroom with natural light, a large room with a tower section, and a custom-made sauna. The house has a full basement—here you will find the historic Prussian-vault ceilings. We would be delighted to present the many special features of this romantic connoisseur’s property, which is capable of being appropriately preserved for the future, during a personal viewing.
