There are four west-facing rooms, further connected by double/treble
doors. When opened, the complex of the four rooms offers a magnificent
through-way entertaining space. But these four rooms can also serve
in different way, for example as a main reception, a large dining room,
and two bedrooms. The third bedroom faces east and features a large,
modern en-suite bathroom with open shower. The second bathroom is accessed
from the hall. The
kitchen is modern, open-plan into the hall, with easy access to the pantry/store
and dining room.

The apartment feels airy, with high ceilings (3.80m), and beautiful stuccoes in the two main receptions. All rooms are newly decorated, but some period paintwork is retained as feature of historical interest. There are oak parquet floors throughout all rooms, with elegant floor tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms. The original richly turned doors and windows come with their original brass handles, and much period stained and decorated glass. Other details include chandeliers and other period lights and plenty of mirrors - but the old seamlessly mixes with the new, such as the up-to-date kitchen, or a stainless-steel shower-jet wall in the main bathroom.

The heating is provided by a gas-fired boiler feeding floor and wall-mounted radiators. The constantly replenishing hot-water-tank provides plenty of hot water with very good pressure. The temperature is controlled by a room thermostat as well as individual thermostatic valves on radiators, and the showers feature own thermostats too.
In addition to the CH radiators, the two bathrooms feature electric underfloor heating.
There are pleanty of electric points in all the rooms.
Apart from the standard equipment (dishwasher, washer/drier, fridge, freezer, gas and electric cookerplates, oven and microwave) there is a wonderful massage shower with wall-mounted jets in one of the bathrooms, bath/shower in the other, and bidet-showers by both lavatories.
The apartment is fitted with computer and satellite network, entryphone and alarm, and alarm sensors for doors and windows.
The Art Nouveau apartment block as a whole has recently been completely
re-rendered and decorated. Inside is an imposing newly-decorated
hall and stairways, all with fabulous period stuccoes, chandeliers
and stained glass. A curious fact about this apartment block is that
despite its apparent symmetry, if you look closer and long enough you
will notice that no set of windows is the same. This is indicative
of the attention to detail of its builders. Or to their sense of humour.

The apartment-block cellar is awaiting a major reconstruction - nevertheless we can offer a lock-up space there (cca 10m3)
Unfortunately there is no garage or parking yard within the apartment block. It is possible, however, to get a resident permit to park in the street, or to buy secure parking in the National Theatre underground car-park next door.
The fabric of the apartment is insured against structural damage, but the tenant will need to arrange own insurance for any loss or damage to own property.
LOCATIONFor a map showing the location of the flat click here As this is a riverside house from the balcony you have a view (shown here) of the River Vltava, across the Zofin Island to Petrin Hill. You are next door to the National Theatre on one side and the grand Goethe Institute on the other. Tram stops are within a few steps away and there are a choice of shops locally, that would meet all your needs from designerware to Tesco. In the summer you can rent boats to enjoy the river and if you have children you can use the island with its playgrounds and greenery. |
