This freestanding historic villa, built in 1889, defines an environment that remains one of Vienna’s most distinguished residential areas with its classic villa architecture and generous plot size. Only about 100 meters from Türkenschanzpark, the property combines historic charm, much privacy, and an extraordinary scope for development.

The villa was built by the renowned Austrian architect Julius Deininger, who designed numerous villas, rental buildings, and churches between 1885 and 1914, and contributed to significant Viennese architecture. Today, there is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Viennese architectural history and reinterpret it for the future.

A HOUSE WITH PERSONALITY

Inside, the house’s unique identity becomes visible. Spacious rooms, classic swing doors, herringbone parquet, high room proportions, and historical details create an atmosphere that modern new constructions can hardly replicate.

The current usable area is approximately 510 m² spread over the basement, high parlor, and upper floor. Additionally, there is an impressive, currently unconverted raw attic of about 170 m². Particularly the representative rooms of the upper floor convey the classic character of a Viennese cottage villa: interconnected rooms, generous wall spaces, plenty of daylight, parquet floors, and characteristic details like tiled stoves and swing doors create an ambiance with unmistakable character.

The existing condition deliberately leaves room for individual redesign. The villa can be further developed, modernized, and transformed into an extraordinary private residence or a distinguished living concept according to the future owners’ wishes.

PRIVATE BACKYARD – THE GARDEN

The approx. 640 m² garden, with its mature trees, provides a green retreat and grants the villa a spaciousness that is increasingly rare in inner-city areas. Old trees provide shade, the size of the property creates distance and privacy, while the nearby Türkenschanzpark emphasizes the exceptionally green living environment. 

This creates the feeling of a private sanctuary — yet you are right in the middle of one of Vienna’s most established residential neighborhoods.

ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES

According to the land use and development plan, the property is designated as a residential area (W), building class II — maximum building height 10.5 m — and open construction (o).

The property is located within a residential and protection zone but is not listed in the monument register. Feasibility of expanding the raw attic and other structural modifications or an extension must be checked within the framework of applicable public law regulations and required permits.

TARGET GROUP

This property is not aimed at buyers looking solely for a fully equipped house. It appeals to people who recognize location, land, architecture, and historic substance as values — and who appreciate the opportunity to create something unique from it.

Whether as a spacious family residence, a distinguished estate with multiple living areas, or an ambitious development project: the available spaces, the raw attic, and the extensive garden open extraordinary perspectives.
