Renovated Art Nouveau villa within walking distance of the Elbe beach

Die Villa Huenniken was built in 1875 and bears the name of a former Hamburg merchant whose wife, née Vorwerk, received the property at the time as a dowry. Even today, this listed building is the focal point of the enchanting cul-de-sac between the Elbe and Wesselhöft Park. Between 2009 and 2012, the villa was extensively renovated and further completed in the years that followed. The main focus was on uncovering the existing stylistic elements, restoring them with great care, and faithfully reconstructing, adding, and supplementing missing features. In this way, a perfect symbiosis of history and modernity has been achieved. From the impressive entrance hall, an elaborately decorated oak staircase leads to the two upper floors. The artfully restored stained-glass stairwell window creates a unique incidence of light. On the ground floor, three interconnected, representative living rooms open off this imposing staircase, featuring two original fireplaces, stucco-decorated ceilings, and views of the park-like garden. The timeless Bulthaup kitchen, with its clear design language, blends harmoniously into the historic architecture. Particular attention was paid to redesigning the conservatory. Historic tiles have been painstakingly reproduced to match the look of the original tiles, and the glass enclosure of the former terrace allows for use almost year-round. In contrast to the historic façade is the garage built in 2020, with a total of three parking spaces, provision for a wallbox, and a bicycle garage. In addition, the courtyard area with its driveway offers further parking spaces. The landscaped redesign of the courtyard and garden provides Villa Huenniken with a picturesque setting: terrace areas, a historic fountain, a natural pond, a large lawn in the southern section, and planted beds create a cozy atmosphere and invite you to linger at home. Teufelsbrück is the name for the mouth of the Flottbek stream where it flows into the Elbe. You can enjoy the view of passing ships from the garden as well as from the terrace, and from the windows of the upper floors the Elbe view to the west and south as far as Finkenwerder. We look forward to showing you Villa Huenniken in person with all its special features.
