HARJU 1 – STYLISH, FULLY FURNISHED HOME IN THE HEART OF THE OLD TOWN

An elegant and timeless home in the very centre of Tallinn’s Old Town – on Harju Street, where history, culture and the quality of urban living come together in a beautifully balanced way.

BUILDING

The building at Harju 1, also known as the Writers’ House, has been home to several legends of Estonian literature and carries exceptional cultural and historical significance. Its location is outstanding – just a short walk from Town Hall Square and Freedom Square.

The front of the building overlooks a landscaped area and a lively pedestrian street, which in winter hosts a popular outdoor ice rink. At the rear, residents have access to a quiet, locked inner courtyard where it is possible to park a car and store bicycles – a very rare convenience in the Old Town.

The main entrance and courtyard are locked, and the building is equipped with an intercom system.

LAYOUT AND INTERIOR

The apartment is located on the raised second floor and is ideal for a couple or a small family. The well-planned layout includes:

• an open-plan kitchen and living room,
• a large bedroom with a balcony facing the inner courtyard,
• a separate home office / guest room (optionally a children’s room),
• a spacious bathroom.

The apartment is very bright thanks to its through-apartment layout and large windows on both sides.

The main bedroom overlooks a very quiet inner courtyard, offering the perfect balance between the lively atmosphere of the Old Town and peaceful privacy.

The interior features beautiful herringbone parquet flooring and a timeless colour palette, enhanced by carefully selected furniture pieces from the 1920s and 1960s, combined with minimalist Scandinavian design elements. The result is a cosy, calm and stylish living environment. The bathroom walls and floors are finished with high-quality ceramic tiles.

FURNISHINGS

The apartment is offered fully furnished, and all furniture and appliances are in excellent condition. The bedroom features a brand-new 160 × 200 cm bed with a high-quality mattress set.

• Bosch refrigerator,
• Electrolux Hob2Hood induction cooktop and extractor hood,
• Electrolux oven with pyrolytic cleaning and steam function,

The bedroom is furnished with a large built-in wardrobe, armchair and sofa, offering a peaceful view of the courtyard. The home office/guest room is equipped with a workstation, shelves, a single bed, and a large built-in wardrobe.

The bathroom includes all sanitary fittings (including a bathtub), bathroom furniture and a top-loading washing machine.

Floor-length sheer curtains combined with blackout blinds ensure privacy and a cosy atmosphere in every room.
