Who doesn’t want to live by the water? But opportunities don’t come around all that often. Opportunities like this listed urban villa on Brabandstraße in the Alsterdorf area of Hamburg. This masterpiece by Fritz Höger (1877–1949) right by the Alsterlauf boasts architecture so unique that the renovation work just had to do it justice. With genuine natural stone, smoked oak flooring, a huge sauna, a bulthaup kitchen and a den above the new garage for sports, hobbies and loving life.
