A home where the morning begins with the smell of the lake and the evening ends with silence.

You step out your door. The sun is shining, you can smell the pine, children are playing in the yard. In five minutes you are on a forest trail, 500 meters away Lake Ülemiste is iridescent. Here you feel like you live in a small village – yet you are in the city.

It is a home for a person who appreciates peace, history and character. Not shiny and standard, but real.

2. Installation of new battens and Corrugated Agro L Graphite roof
3. Sunroof Prismax

LOCATION

Here you live on the border between nature and the city.

• Forest and Lake Ülemiste – 5 min walk
• Tallinn Bus Station – 10 min
• Ülemiste Centre – 12–15 min
• Tallinn Airport – 30 min
• Freedom Square – 30–40 min

The highway is 50-100 m away, planes land nearby – you can hear them from time to time. Inside, however, it is calm. Local bus traffic is rather weak – people live here by car, taxi or on foot. Bolt Drive cars are always available in the area.

The roads are in average condition, the surroundings are suburban – but it feels like being in your own small community.

UTILITIES

• In summer ca 180 €
• In winter ca 280 €

Both include a loan payment of €100 for the roof (up to 2033).

If you are looking for a new one – this is not it. If you are looking for a home with history, soul and a story of its own, where the morning starts on the lake trail and the evening ends in silence – then this could be your next chapter.
