Carstensgade 21

If you are up for picking up the tools and getting stuck in, then on the other side of the renovation work you will be rewarded with one of Copenhagen’s most attractive types of home: a distinctive byggeforeningshus (a classic building-society terraced house) in the idyllic, centrally located residential enclave known as Humlebyen. Four floors of pure potential await here – fancy a look?

The tour starts at street level. The handsome yellow-brick façade waits behind a wrought-iron fence and a mature tree, which give the pretty front garden a good dose of charm. You enter from the other side of the house, however – through a gravelled courtyard and into an entrance hall that greets you with a beautiful old staircase. From here you can go up and down to all four floors, including three residential floors and a basement.

Starting on the ground floor, the hallway leads to a WC and a kitchen. From here, two living rooms follow one after the other, with plenty of room for both a dining area and a sofa corner. There is also a separate room, and the ground floor is rounded off by access to a conservatory with beautiful coloured glass panes. Back in the hallway, the stairs first take you up to the first floor, where you get a WC, a kitchen, a living room and two rooms. Further up the stairs is the second floor, where you pass through a living room into another room, while a final room is reached from the landing. In the basement you can explore three spare rooms and a utility room. All in all, the house offers 243 square metres of floor space – and you should of course also explore the possibilities of creating entirely new layouts wherever you like.

Your cosy front garden is also ripe for sprucing up, and it will soon become a true oasis which, facing west, gets plenty of sun in the afternoon. The front garden is complemented by a balcony with room for furniture.

If you know Humlebyen, you will know why this little town within the city is a dream neighbourhood for many Copenhageners. If you are less familiar with the city, it can be summed up very briefly: Humlebyen exudes peace, quiet and security, just a few steps from everything you need day to day and all the many pleasures that city life in Vesterbro has to offer.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
