Lai 43, Harjumaa

A 2-room apartment in an excellent location has come to market, situated in a building of historical value in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, where unique dining spots, a rich cultural and educational environment, and the medieval Old Town as a UNESCO World Heritage site come together.

BUILDING

The building at Lai 43 is one of the most distinctive representatives of Tallinn’s most prestigious area. This impressive four-storey apartment building boasts nearly 170 years of history.

The building and its apartments were thoroughly renovated in 2008. At the same time, a two-storey building was constructed in the courtyard, with an underground (-1) level garage and a spacious rooftop terrace for residents’ shared use.

The courtyard is securely enclosed with a gate. The building’s front door is locked and equipped with an intercom system.

LAYOUT AND INTERIOR FINISHES

The 53.2 m² apartment comprises a living room with an open kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and an entrance hall. The apartment’s windows offer views of St. Olaf’s Church.

The apartment harmoniously combines modernity, history, and the dignity of the Old Town in its most authentic form. Adding to its nostalgic charm are the characteristic high ceilings (3.5 metres) and double solid wood windows with wooden window sills. Extensive limestone surfaces, specially treated to be dust-free, also deserve special attention.

The selection of finishing materials has carefully considered the preserved historical details, resulting in a home that is at once historic, modern, and luxurious.

The floors are covered with natural oak parquet, while the bathrooms feature ceramic tiles combined with high-quality sanitary ware from leading brands such as Duravit, Geberit, and Hansgrohe.

APPLIANCES AND FURNISHINGS

The apartment is sold furnished.

The functional kitchen furniture integrates high-quality Bosch and Siemens appliances, including a dishwasher, cooktop and oven, extractor hood, and a refrigerator with freezer.

The bedroom and hallway feature spacious built-in wardrobes.

HEATING

The apartment is equipped with electric Adax infrared heating panels – a modern, maintenance-free, and cost-effective heating solution. In addition, a wood-burning fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere and provides an alternative heating option.

The building has an active and well-managed homeowners’ association.

PARKING AND STORAGE

Parking around the building (in the T2 parking zone) is available with a city resident’s permit.

Nearby parking options within walking distance include Europark at Aia 7 and Barking parking lot at Väike Rannavärav 6.

Residents have access to a shared storage room, where each apartment has its own designated shelving space for storage. The room also provides a convenient and secure area for storing bicycles.

LOCATION

The apartment is just a few minutes’ walk from cosy cafés and fine restaurants, cultural venues and entertainment, as well as beautiful parks and the attractive seaside harbour area. Logistically, access to both the port and the airport is quick and convenient.

The nearest grocery store is Vanalinna Rimi Express. In addition, Viru Keskus, Balti Jaama Turg, Kaubamaja department store, Rotermanni Quarter, Kalev Spa, MyFitness sports club, Coca-Cola Plaza cinema, and much more are all close by.

The vibrant Old Town location is further enhanced by the proximity of highly regarded schools – Gustav Adolf Grammar School is just a few hundred metres away, and nearby are Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium as well as G. Ots Tallinn Music School. The nearest kindergartens are Vanalinna Kindergarten and the Aiake kindergarten of Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium.
