Behind the historic Art Nouveau façade lies something that can no longer be recreated today – authenticity, elegance, and the atmosphere of Riga’s city centre shaped over more than a century.
Located at 36 Blaumaņa Street, in one of Riga’s historic Art Nouveau buildings, this unique apartment has preserved the true charm of pre-war architecture. The building was constructed in 1900 according to the design of the renowned architect Alfreds Ašenkampfs, during Riga’s architectural golden age when the city’s distinctive identity was taking shape and becoming admired around the world.
Situated on the third floor, the apartment benefits from exposure to two sides of the building, providing abundant natural light throughout the day. Despite its central location, the property offers a remarkable sense of peace and privacy. High-quality windows effectively reduce city noise, allowing residents to fully enjoy the comfort of home.
The interior retains historical features that have become increasingly rare: magnificent ceramic tile stoves, original hardwood parquet flooring, decorative ceiling details, and impressive ceiling heights that create a sense of space, grandeur, and elegance.
In addition to its historical and architectural significance, the property offers considerable investment potential. Its existing layout and generous floor area allow for a relatively straightforward conversion into two separate apartments, creating opportunities for private use, rental income, or long-term investment.
Everyday comfort is ensured by an individual gas heating boiler, allowing residents to control both the heating season and indoor temperature according to their personal preferences.
Residents also benefit from a private enclosed courtyard with parking spaces. Parking rights are allocated annually by lottery among the building’s residents, while the collected fees contribute directly to the building’s maintenance and future improvements.
Living on Blaumaņa Street means enjoying all the advantages of Riga’s city centre. The Old Town, Vērmanes Garden, restaurants, cafés, cultural venues, shopping destinations, and business districts are all just a short walk away.
Buildings like this are no longer constructed. An atmosphere like this cannot be recreated. It is the result of more than a century of history, authentic architecture, and a unique character that can be felt from the moment one steps through the entrance.
This property is intended for those who seek more than just an apartment – a place with character, history, and enduring value that can be appreciated for generations to come.
