Location: Kosice metropolis (City District Kosice I - Old Town - Stare Mesto), Slovakia, European Union.

Property: Privately owned condo / flat (formerly banker's apartment) in a 5-storey brick building, approx. 100+ m2 / 1,000+ sq. ft. of livable personal space, with additional private cellar in the basement, and with additional co-owned shared community areas - a spacious utility loft (electric lights, hard ceiling, windows) and large fenced utility & recreational flat-roof terraces with a rain/sun shelter and sunny spots (over 400 m2 / 4,000 sq. ft. of additional life space adjacent to the apartment). The "opulent" rooftop showers were removed from the sunbathing areas by the government during the communist era but new pipes can be reinstalled easily if wanted. Even during epidemic lockdowns or similar situations, you are not like a prisoner here: You can enjoy sunbathing, walk in fresh air, or stargazing - all without setting foot outside the building.

Built: 1930 - 1931, elegant old functionalism.

Rooms: 5 livable rooms (the original concept was 1 servant's chamber next to the entry door, 3 master rooms, and 1 Winter Garden with a large greenhouse-style window panel), 1 kitchen with a walled pantry, 1 separate WC room (openable window, flushing toilet, intimate-hygiene warm handshower) with entry from a little toilet vestibule with a wash basin, 1 bathroom (bath tub with shower, washbasin, space for adding a bidet), main entry hall, little vestibule (with 4 doors connecting the middle and rear tract of the apartment), balcony facing a small garden park. Plus, the above-mentioned cellar in the basement, the walled utility loft, and the utility & recreational rooftop terraces.

Condition: Partly remodeled (major issues successfully resolved - new kitchen and bathroom outflow ducts, new cold and hot water piping with own metering, modern thermostatic vents/regulators on centrally connected radiators in every room, refurbished fully functional chimney lined with modern durable stainless steel insert, sealed roof, new floor in the entry hall and two rooms). Great potential and flexibility - future owners can give it a finishing touch harmonizing with their personal taste with relatively little effort, because all difficult repairs and dirty works are already concluded (e.g., cutting and replacing rusty pipes in walls and floors, chimney drilling, debris & dust removal, etc.). The brand new cast-iron glassed-door decorative wood&coal clean-burn stove is not intended for sale at the moment but we can discuss.

Amenities: It is a fully connected modern urban home with all media and energies directly on site. Drinking tap water from pressured municipal sources, warm tap water and heating water from the city heating plant, central room heating (radiators with automated radio-operated metering devices), electricity with own electrometer, gas (for kitchen stove and oven) with own gas meter, legacy landline telephone/fax slot (currently unused), wired internet (with optional Wi-Fi router connectivity, online TV options, and IP telephony options) hooked on an optical cable network, sink drains connected to street underground sewage, flushing toilet.

Floors: Wood (entry hall and rooms), mineral composite (kitchen), polished terrazzo (bathroom and WC).

Neighbourhood: Quiet and peaceful quarter known as Little Prague / Mala Praha. The building is known in this neighbourhood as the Bankers' Colony, Bankers' Block, or President Masaryk's Colony. The house residents are often families of lawyers, doctors, teachers and engineers; many of them live here for several consecutive generations. The front entrance is from a small street with lawn strips and trees, with an asphalt road in the middle and a short dedicated parkway leading right to the front gate . Rear entrance leads to a small park with shrubs, trees, relaxation benches, and car parking spots (closed area protected by drive-thru and walk-thru locking gates). This back gate is accessible by cars and trucks. Two universities, three kindergartens, and two elementary schools in close proximity (walking distance). Tram and bus transportation lines are 1 block away. Various small shops, two shopping malls and three multi-specialty medical centers at walking distance.

Known shortcomings: No elevator (this is a historical monument building from the beginning of the 20th century).
