Living amidst an idyll and one of the world's great capitals
You will be living right at the pulsating heart of the capital. From your home in the "Penthouse Am Potsdamer Platz" it's a short walk to the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Shopping Arcades and the Berlin Film Festival on Potsdamer Platz, the State Library and the fascinating Technical Museum. Each one of them is only five minutes' walk away. Also the Kulturforum, the world-famous Philharmonic Hall and the art museums are about 8 minutes' walking distance. All other leading sights and places of interest are situated within a radius of 1 to 6 underground stations, or at the most 10 minutes by car. And although you are right in the heart of the capital, you are still off the beaten track in your oasis, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Because the street "Am Karlsbad" is a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, characterised by its ancient tree population and the imposing façades of its buildings, which line just the one side of the street. The other side of the street consists of a tranquil park landscape along the whole of its length. Beyond that you have the meandering ribbon of the Landwehr Canal. Park and canal form an idyllic bulwark against the hurly-burly of Potsdamer Platz and the Berlin city centre bordering on it. The footpath to Potsdamer Platz ( 2 mins.) leads across the park up a couple of old stone steps to the Marschall Bridge over the Landwehr Canal. Here you'll find the shipping pier. A whole fleet of pleasure ships sets off from here - Berlin is rich in waterways; passengers can travel to Wannsee and Potsdam and see things from a completely new perspective. A superabundance of nature and idyllic atmosphere awaits you a 10 minutes' walk away: the Tiergarten, the old hunting grounds of the Prussian monarchy, an inner-city garden landscape covering a huge area with lakes, small streams and river courses, sunbathing meadows, ancient trees, sculptures and monuments.
If you're looking for a more active form of recreation and relaxation, there's a golf range only 150 metres away. Underground (2 mins.) and urban railway (S-Bahn - 8 mins.) are a short walking distance away.
