A historic villa, spread over four levels, located directly to Sanssouci Park

Potsdam West is a neighborhood in the western part of Brandenburg's state capital with a population of about 8,000. It is bordered to the north by Sanssouci Park, with its palaces and expansive green spaces, and to the south by the Havel River. Sanssouci Park is known far beyond Germany's borders as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and shapes the character and atmosphere of this neighborhood, extending even into its side streets.The villa is located in the northern part of Potsdam West, directly adjacent to Sanssouci Park. Residents here have the World Heritage Site as their neighbor and approximately 6,863 m² of private parkland right on their doorstep. The garden is laid out like a park, surrounded by tall, mature trees, and one of this size in this location is virtually impossible to find these days. Children have plenty of space to play without having to cross a street. The surrounding neighborhood consists of historic villas, and the character of this street has hardly changed over more than a century.Sanssouci Palace, the Roman Baths, Charlottenhof Palace, and the New Palace are all within walking distance, as are extensive walking and running trails through tree-lined avenues, meadows, and groves. A few steps in the other direction lead to the Havel River with its riverside paths and boat docks. Here, the weekend begins right at your own front door-not after a long drive.The amenities for families are comprehensive. Two elementary schools are about an eight- and a twelve-minute walk away, respectively, while secondary schools and private schools are located in the city center. A pharmacy is about an eight-minute walk away; Lidl and Kaufland on Zeppelinstraße are each about a ten-minute walk, and a gas station is about an eleven-minute walk.The Potsdam Park Sanssouci train station is about 540 meters away and can be reached in about nine minutes on foot. The RE1 and regional trains RB20 through RB23 stop there, supplemented by bus lines 605, 694, and 697. The RE1 runs without transfers via Potsdam Central Station and Berlin-Wannsee to Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Berlin Central Station, and Friedrichstraße. Those who work in Berlin can commute from here without changing trains. A second stop, the Potsdam-Charlottenhof station, is about 880 meters away. BER Airport is about a 45-minute drive away.Eight open parking spaces on the property accommodate the family's vehicles and those of their guests-a feature that is rarely a given in inner-city villa neighborhoods.
