Apartment 1+kk, 40m², U Rajské Zahrady, Prague 3 - Žižkov

When this client first approached us, we were not immediately convinced. The asking price gave us pause, and the nature of the transaction came with its own complexities. But we took it on, worked through the details, and in the end we are glad we did — because with hindsight, our client bought very well. The market has since caught up with the price, and it is not hard to see why. The building sets the tone from the moment you arrive. A fully renovated prewar property on a quiet street right on the border of Žižkov and Vinohrady, it has kept everything that makes Prague's historic architecture so compelling: ornate ironwork entrance doors, sweeping staircases with decorative wrought-iron railings, original ceiling mouldings, and a modern glass elevator fitted seamlessly within the historic core. Inside, the 40 m² apartment carries the same character — high ceilings, original herringbone parquet floors, and an interior that pairs the period bones of the space with a confident contemporary finish. The dark-finish kitchen with its island and built-in appliances, and the marble-effect bathroom with walk-in rain shower and warm accent lighting, are details that go well beyond what you typically find at this price point in Prague. The location is the other half of the story. U Rajské Zahrady sits on the boundary between Žižkov and Vinohrady — two neighbourhoods that have steadily grown into some of the most sought-after addresses in the city. The Prague University of Economics is a short walk away, Vinohrady's restaurants, wine bars, and parks are on the doorstep, and excellent metro and tram connections make the rest of Prague effortless. For a client who wanted to live centrally, with real neighbourhood life around them, it turned out to be exactly the right call.
