Description
International Recognition: The Financial Times London lists this property among the five most beautiful residences currently on the market in Bavaria.
From the moment you enter, the ground floor unfolds an unparalleled sense of space: the area opens like a foyer to nature, drawing the eye immediately to the private garden beyond. Living, dining, and cooking flow seamlessly into one another, forming a generous atrium - an ideal setting for long evenings at the dining table, conversations by the fireplace, or quiet mornings with a view of greenery. A separate fireplace room creates an especially atmospheric retreat, opening directly onto the terrace and pool. The upper two levels continue this feeling of openness and light. The first floor offers four versatile rooms- perfect as bedrooms, relaxation areas, or home offices - with unobstructed views of the garden and surrounding nature. The separate attic apartment forms a stylish loft with its own kitchen, bathroom, and approximately 34 m² terrace - a space that feels like a private penthouse within the house, ideal as a studio, creative retreat, or guest suite overlooking the treetops, with its own external access.
The basement adds further living space with a bright sleeping suite and a spacious recreation room, creating an additional full floor - perfect for an au pair, fitness area, or a separate home office. The house’s architecture cultivates an immediately perceptible atmosphere: a delicate steel framework allows generous ceiling heights, galleries connect the levels, and light flows freely throughout the home. Semi-transparent glass blocks in floors and walls channel daylight into deeper areas, enhancing the sense of brightness and openness. Massaranduba wood, Murano mosaics, bespoke built-ins, and a carefully considered lighting concept define the interior. Every detail reflects a dedication to quality that is subtle yet consistently experienced in daily living.

Nestled on a quiet side street near the outskirts of the English Garden, this house is not just lived in, it is experienced. The architect-designed residence at Seidelbaststraße in Schwabing-Freimann is less an address and more a personal retreat: a modern residential sculpture surrounded by greenery, yet just minutes from the city. Built in 1994 as the private home of a renowned Munich architect, the house balances high street-facing privacy with striking openness to garden, sky, and light. The northern façade remains deliberately understated, with a reduced window design that protects the interior. In contrast, the south, west, and east sides open with generous glazing onto the garden, seamlessly integrating the surrounding nature into the living space. Interior and exterior areas flow into one another, with terraces extending the living spaces and the garden becoming a natural focal point. Lighting shifts throughout the day - from crisp and light in the morning to warm and serene in the evening. Anyone entering the house immediately senses this special atmosphere of openness, calm, and light, an experience where architecture truly becomes a feeling of home.
