3-room apartment on the border of Kalamaja and Tallinn Old Town – high ceilings, a distinguished building and an excellent location
For sale: a spacious 3-room apartment in a highly valued location, on the border of Kalamaja and Tallinn Old Town. This is a home with qualities that are often missing in new developments – high ceilings, generous rooms, a layout that runs through the building, and the character of a distinguished stone apartment building.
The apartment is well suited for someone who values a strong location, a practical layout and the opportunity to shape the home according to their own taste. The apartment underwent a more extensive renovation approximately 20 years ago and remains in good, usable condition today. At the same time, it gives the new owner an excellent opportunity to refresh the interior if desired and create a truly personal city home that will retain its value over time.
Apartment
The apartment has a layout that runs through the building, bringing good natural light and a pleasant sense of openness into the rooms. The high ceilings give the home a spacious feel and reflect the character of this dignified building.
The layout is practical and well-functioning:
* 3 separate rooms
* separate kitchen
* bathroom and WC separate
* through-building layout
* high ceilings
* double-glazed windows
* parquet flooring in the rooms
* practical storage solutions inside the apartment
The condition of the apartment allows the new owner to move in and then calmly decide how extensively and at what pace to carry out any desired updates. This is an important advantage for a buyer who does not want to face immediate pressure for a full renovation, but sees the value in improving the home step by step.
Building
The apartment is located in a stone building with distinguished architecture and an active apartment association. Over the years, the building has been consistently maintained and improved.
Key improvements and advantages:
* insulated attic
* updated heating system
* adjustable radiators
* renovated stairwells
* enclosed and well-maintained courtyard
* storage room in the basement
* shared bicycle room
This type of building is ideal for a buyer who is looking not only for an apartment, but also for a well-maintained and functional living environment.
Location
The location is one of the apartment’s strongest advantages. Kalamaja, Tallinn Old Town, Balti Jaam railway station, Balti Jaama Market, the Estonian Academy of Arts, Gustav Adolf Grammar School’s primary school building, cafés, shops, the seaside, Kalarand and Noblessner are all within easy reach.
This is an area where a car is not essential for everyday life – much of what you need is within walking distance. At the same time, the building itself is situated in a calmer street environment, away from heavier traffic noise.
Parking and storage
Parking is available either in the courtyard or in front of the building. The apartment includes a basement storage room, and the building also has a shared bicycle room – a highly practical added value considering the Kalamaja lifestyle.
Who is this apartment for?
This apartment is well suited for someone looking for:
* a home on the border of Kalamaja and Tallinn Old Town
* the atmosphere of a distinguished building and high ceilings
* a good layout and spacious rooms
* an apartment that is ready to move into, yet can be refreshed according to personal taste
* a property in a strong location whose value is likely to remain stable over time
This is not an anonymous new-development apartment. It is a home in a building and neighbourhood with character, history and clear long-term value.
Summary
If you are looking for a spacious 3-room apartment in one of Tallinn’s most sought-after areas, where the Kalamaja atmosphere, the proximity of the Old Town and a practical urban lifestyle come together, this apartment is certainly worth viewing.
