Kentmanni 20A, Harjumaa

An excellent opportunity to acquire a 97.1 m² apartment with a balcony and a parking space in the heart of Tallinn, right next to the Embassy of the United States!

BUILDING

Kentmanni 20A is a distinguished historical stone building, constructed in 1925 as a residence for employees of the Bank of Estonia. Despite its age, the building is in excellent condition: the roof, electrical system, plumbing, and vertical pipes have all been renovated, and the stairwells have been freshly refurbished. The exterior doors have been restored in a historically accurate manner.

With the approval of the apartment association, a lift can be installed in the stairwell. Access to the building is through the courtyard entrance, located within the secure area of the U.S. Embassy, which ensures high safety and a peaceful living environment. The building is equipped with an intercom system.

In 2018, the Tallinn City Government recognized the house as a well-restored building. In 2007, the courtyard fencing was renewed and two access points to the courtyard were built. The façade was renovated in 2012. The courtyard features mature greenery and a well-maintained garden area, creating a pleasant and private atmosphere.

The building has an active apartment association, and overall, it stands as a majestic and eye-catching example of dignified pre-war Estonian architecture.

LAYOUT AND INTERIOR FINISHES

The apartment is located on the second floor and has a through-the-building layout, offering abundant natural light and a comfortable living environment.

This 3-room apartment in a five-storey building consists of a spacious living room, a master bedroom with a 2.2 m² balcony, a bedroom/study, a separate kitchen, bathroom, WC, and an entrance hall. The master bedroom overlooks the enclosed courtyard. The entrance hall includes a walk-in wardrobe, which functions as an additional room and can also be used as a fourth bedroom if desired. According to the Estonian Building Register, the apartment is officially registered as a four-room unit.

The original layout has been preserved and the entire apartment has been renovated to a high standard. The rooms are open and bright, benefiting from natural light throughout the day. The interior finishes include timeless, high-quality materials: the floors feature original herringbone oak parquet, and the bathroom is finished with ceramic tiles.

The apartment is characterized by architectural details typical of pre-war Estonian homes: high ceilings (3.2 m) and massive, sound-insulating walls that add dignity and character to the space.

SURROUNDINGS

Kentmanni Street is one of the few places in Tallinn where a classic European urban environment has been preserved. The street corridor is not oppressively narrow; instead, a single-sided tree alley provides greenery and softens direct views into opposite buildings. A century’s worth of architectural diversity creates a rich and layered streetscape. A mix of residences, businesses, and institutions adds functional variety typical of a central city. Already in the 1970s, Kentmanni Street was closed to through-traffic, ensuring peace and quiet for residents.

Within walking distance are Solaris, Postimaja, Viru Keskus, Stockmann, Tallinn Department Store, and essential grocery stores such as Rimi, Solaris Delice, and Comarket Konsum. The location offers numerous options for daily convenience as well as leisure. Despite the tranquility at the heart of Kentmanni, the surrounding area provides effortless access to shopping, culture, education, and entertainment. Everything the city has to offer is only a short walk away.

The family-friendly area is further enriched by several highly respected schools: Tallinn Südalinna School is only a few hundred meters away, and Tallinn Secondary School of Science (Reaalkool) as well as Tallinn English College are also nearby.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the wide range of nearby facilities, including MyFitness, the Central Sports Club, Kalev Sports Hall, and Tallinn Sports Hall.

The nearest public transport stop (Keskhaigla) is just 300 meters from your doorstep.
