The Most Unique Penthouse in Tallinn Old Town – Where Luxury Meets History
If you have ever dreamed of living in the most extraordinary apartment in Tallinn’s Old Town, this is your moment. We are searching for the perfect match for this luxurious, one-of-a-kind penthouse on Vene Street – a home where every detail has been carefully considered and flawlessly executed.
The renovation took a full year to complete, preceded by another year of meticulous planning and design. Eleven highly experienced specialist teams contributed to transforming an outdated layout into a refined, elegant and technically advanced residence. All works were carried out under strict Heritage Protection supervision to preserve the building’s historical value while seamlessly integrating modern comforts and state-of-the-art systems.
ELEGANT AND EXCEPTIONAL LAYOUT
The layout is as remarkable as the location. The spacious living room opens to three cardinal directions – east, south and west – flooding the interior with natural light and offering captivating views over the rooftops and towers of the Old Town, both by day and by night.
The bedroom is positioned in the quieter part of the building and features a private en suite bathroom. The true jewel of this home is the sauna, where you can relax while enjoying breathtaking views over the historic skyline – transforming everyday wellness into a luxurious ritual.
Interior architect Helen Kolks has created a space that is both refined and highly functional. All furniture and architectural solutions are bespoke, including the handmade wool and silk rug in the living room. Carefully selected materials and sophisticated lighting solutions highlight the apartment’s unique architectural elements, creating a home that is both intimate and strikingly elegant.
The official area of the apartment is 89.4 m², yet thanks to cleverly designed storage spaces and reading nooks, the functional living area extends to 100.2 m².
TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE WITH MODERN PERFORMANCE
The apartment is equipped with autonomous gas heating, a modern ventilation system and the latest technical solutions to ensure maximum comfort and energy efficiency. No compromises have been made – this home has been finished to perfection.
It can be compared to a Fabergé egg – luxurious, masterfully crafted and full of delightful surprises. The harmony between history and contemporary living is unparalleled. From every window, you enjoy breathtaking views of Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town – an experience that many travel across the world to see once in a lifetime, yet here it becomes your everyday reality.
THE BUILDING AND ITS HISTORY
Vene Street 1 dates back to the 14th century. The earliest known records from 1370 mention the property belonging to the prominent merchant and alderman Richardus Rike. Over centuries, the building passed through the hands of influential Great Guild merchants and city councillors. Originally two storeys, additional floors were added over time, with the current height established in the early 1920s. A comprehensive historical study of the building has been compiled by Tallinn’s renowned historian Jüri Kuuskemaa.
Today, the building has been fully renovated, preserving its heritage while offering contemporary standards of comfort.
