We are offering for direct sale an atypical 1-bedroom apartment (2+kk) with a floor area of 48 m², plus a separate lockable cellar (3.4 m²), located in a quiet and highly sought-after part of Smíchov – U Nikolajky Street.
The property is privately owned (personal ownership) and is being sold directly by the owners. It is completely free of any legal defects or liens, making it easily eligible for mortgage financing.
Notice for real estate agencies: Please do not send emails or offer your services by phone. We are strictly interested in dealing directly with potential buyers.
Layout & Character
The building is constructed on a slope, and its unique layout gives the apartment a distinctive character. It is not a typical apartment floor plan. You enter the apartment from the building corridor on the lower floor level. However, due to the sloping terrain, the living room with the kitchenette is actually located one floor higher, offering a pleasant and open view of the greenery and the shared garden. Conversely, the bedroom faces a recessed English courtyard. Beneath the apartment, there is another floor containing two apartments and two cellar entrances.
The apartment underwent a complete and expensive renovation in 2021/2022. The goal was to combine high-quality materials, warm Japanese minimalism, maximum space utilization, and easy maintenance. The photos in the advertisement show the actual current state – they are not digital visualizations.
What you will appreciate about the apartment:
• Premium flooring: New large-format oak parquet floors in the living areas.
• Concrete screed with underfloor heating in the bathroom and hallway.
• Large-format Italian tiles, a bathtub, and Gessi faucets in an original copper finish.
• Storage space: A large amount of custom-made built-in storage.
• Quality windows: New wooden double sash windows (špaletová okna) made exactly according to the historical originals. The bedroom windows face west; the living area windows face west and north.
• Technical facilities: Completely new electrical wiring, new waste piping, a private electric boiler for heating and hot water, and electric ventilation in the bathroom.
• High-speed fiber-optic internet installed.
• Elegant frameless interior doors.
• Soundproofing and insulation: The apartment stays pleasantly cool in the summer without the need for air conditioning, while in the winter, it heats up very quickly.
• Lockable cellar (3.4 m²).
The sale includes a fully equipped kitchen counter with a built-in fridge/freezer, an oven, and a glass-ceramic hob (there is no dishwasher in the apartment).
Building & Amenities
There are 27 apartments in total in the building, and you will have only two neighbors on your floor.
The building is debt-free and managed by a well-functioning homeowners' association (SVJ). All major repairs have already been completed (including a complete replacement of the risers in autumn 2025). Furthermore, from January 1, 2027, management will be taken over by a professional chairman, which ensures carefree building operations and quick resolution of all maintenance matters for you as the new owner.
Directly on the floor, there is a secure bike room equipped with a camera system, as well as a drying room. The building also features a closed, shared garden in the courtyard.
When buying real property, location plays the most important role. You can change everything else in an apartment, but not the surroundings. And here, the location is simply perfect.
Nikolajka is a quiet cul-de-sac in close proximity to Santoška, Paví Vrch, and Mrázovka parks, as well as the Na Skalce orchards. Mrázovka Park also features a public sports ground (a running track, tennis, and volleyball courts).
Directly opposite the house stands the Nikolajka winter sports stadium. In the new zoning plan, the stadium land is designated as a sports area. This gives you the certainty that the area will remain open and no new residential development will block your view.
Excellent accessibility:
• Public transport: The Santoška bus and trolleybus stop is about a 3-minute walk away.
• Metro: Anděl station is approximately 600 meters away (a 7-minute walk). From Anděl, you can reach the absolute center of Prague (Můstek / Wenceslas Square) in just 4 metro stops.
• Shopping: The Nový Smíchov shopping center is located about 800 meters from the building.
• Parking is available in the blue residential zones around the building.
Fees & Availability
• Monthly fees: CZK 2,835 (including the repair fund, water advances, and SVJ services) + electricity.
• The apartment is currently mostly cleared out and ready for move-in or investment rental within one week of signing the contracts.
This property is ideal for someone looking for peace and quiet when they come home, even in the middle of a bustling city, who appreciates a high-quality renovation, and wants to live in a prime location. It is also a perfect opportunity for a hassle-free investment rental.
Given the atypical nature of the apartment, I highly recommend a viewing so you can see if it charms you just as it once charmed me.
