Baron's house

Baron's house. A unique single-family house in the city centre.

The original project of the building was approved by the Tallinn city government in 1897 and was authored by the architect Moritz Alexander Rudolf Baron Engelhardt. Hence the current name of the house. The house featured limestone exterior walls and a vaulted brick ceiling. Architects Eek & Mutso have taken the historical house, the foundation of which unfortunately did not stand the test of time, as an inspiration and model for the design of the new residential building. The B-energy class house was built using modern materials while preserving the historical appearance.

Unique living in the city center

The front terrace receives evening sun and the future owners have a private yard area of approx. 70 m² and a fenced yard area common to all four houses, where there are play attractions for children and a ping-pong table and barbecue area for the older ones. The house has one parking space in the outdoor parking lot next to the house.

A finish that supports space

A wide, single-strip light oak parquet is used in the Baron’s house. Warm white colour is used on the walls. The 2.3-meter-high profile doors have hidden hinges and magnetic locking, in the same colour as the wall. The selection of ceramic tiles is greyish beige to further emphasize the light, warm parquet. A wooden staircase leads to the second floor.

The details are black or anthracite grey, the VAL75 door handles are designed by Estonian designer Aap Piho and match the matte black series of anthracite grey sockets and switches. Recessed lights also have a black border.

Details support a whole

Baron’s house sanitary ware is matte white. The sinks and toilet bowls are from the GSI range, the stone bathtub from the Estonian manufacturer Balteco. Faucets are selected from the Grohe Essence series. The master bedroom bathroom has a glass wall and next to the stone bathtub is an elegant Grohe floor-standing faucet in a graphite grey finish.

This home has a cosy sauna, the steam room has a glass wall, the lining board and the sauna platform have a dark grey finish and are treated with SUP sauna wax. The Estonian design heater Huum Hive provides warmth and decorates the steam room.

A room for everyone

The bedrooms are on the second floor. There are several bathrooms in the house so that each family member can use them at their own time.
