In the established urban surroundings of Taka-Töölö, near the junction of Mannerheimintie and Nordenskiöldinkatu, stands this seven-storey stone building dating from 1941. The property underwent extensive renovations in 2015, carefully preserving the character of its protected façade. Equipped with a lift, the building combines traditional architecture with a refurbished living environment in a central Helsinki location.

Residents have access to a communal sauna area, free laundry facilities, a drying room and storage for bicycles and outdoor equipment. A small, sheltered courtyard provides a pleasant space to unwind away from the surrounding city streets.

Everyday amenities are conveniently close. A grocery shop and pharmacy are just a short walk away, while Taka-Töölö's cafés, restaurants and other local services offer plenty of choice. Bus and tram stops along Mannerheimintie can be reached in just a few minutes on foot, providing excellent connections to central Helsinki and the wider metropolitan area.

The neighbourhood also offers outstanding opportunities for sport and leisure. Töölö Sports Hall and nearby sports parks provide a variety of recreational facilities, while the area's leafy parks are ideal for outdoor activities. The beautiful waterfront scenery of Töölönlahti Bay and several of Helsinki's well-known cultural and event venues are also within walking distance.

This property brings together historic architecture, practical communal facilities and a central location in Taka-Töölö. With everyday essentials close by and excellent access to the rest of the city, it offers an appealing setting for urban living.
