Apartment 1+kk, 30m², Poděbradská, Prague

Excuse the quality of the photos below — these were taken by the seller for mortgage purposes, not for marketing. When this client first approached us, she had already been searching on her own for some time — and getting nowhere. Communicating only in English, she had run into agents who went quiet or apartments that sold out from under her before she could act. We moved fast, and it paid off: within a short window we secured a brand-new studio directly from a private seller, ahead of the competing interest that was already circling. The asking price actually undersold the apartment, and the seller raised it before accepting offers — we simply made a straightforward, market-rate offer on our client's behalf and won it against the competition, a smart, well-timed move in a fast-moving new development. Our involvement didn't end at the signing table either — we stayed on to help with the building association, sort out small fixes in the apartment, and even get the curtains installed, so the move-in was as smooth as the purchase. The building itself is Tesla Hloubětín, a completely new Central Group development — nothing here has ever been lived in. It's a clean, contemporary property with a genuine sense of quality and security: video entry with keycard access, a private tiled balcony with wide views over the surrounding development, a generously sized cellar unit, and an energy performance rating of B, which keeps running costs low. Inside, the 30 m² studio opens from a tiled entrance hall into a bright, open-plan living space with warm wood-effect flooring and a full-height window and door leading straight onto the balcony. The kitchen is fitted in soft grey and taupe cabinetry with flat-front doors, a built-in oven and combination microwave, integrated fridge and dishwasher, and full-height pantry storage — everything worked seamlessly into the layout rather than bolted on. The bathroom continues the same standard: a large walk-in shower with a rain shower head, and a separate, elegantly finished area with a floating vanity and wall-hung toilet. It all adds up to an apartment that feels bright, low-maintenance, and genuinely move-in ready — and just as easy to rent out down the line. The location is what really sets it apart. Hloubětín has transformed into one of Prague's newest and most liveable residential pockets, built up almost entirely with new developments, schools, kindergartens, and playgrounds — the kind of area families and young professionals are actively choosing to move to. The tram stop sits right in front of the building, with metro Hloubětín just a five-minute walk away, putting the rest of Prague within easy reach. For a client working in academia who wanted a place that was genuinely her own — with the flexibility to rent it out later if her plans ever take her elsewhere — it turned out to be exactly the right property at exactly the right time.
