Welcome in Prague 1

Would you like to live in a home with history and a view of Prague’s most iconic landmarks?

Petřín Hill, Kampa Island, Prague Castle and the Vltava River unfold right before your eyes from the windows of this spacious 6+1 apartment with a total area of 188 m², located in a distinguished townhouse on Smetana Embankment. Its layout is truly unique – the windows facing the street are on an elevated ground floor, while those overlooking the quiet courtyard are on the first floor.

The building, poetically named “U Zlatého koníka” (At the Golden Horse), was built in 1853 by merging two Renaissance houses. During the reconstruction, it gained its current Classicist appearance, which it retains to this day. The house is officially registered as a cultural heritage site.

As soon as you step inside, the apartment impresses with its spaciousness. Ceilings soaring to 3.7 metres give the rooms a sense of grandeur. Each space features carefully preserved original details – wooden windows with rounded top corners, interior shutters, historic doors and brass handles.
The apartment is currently divided into two west-facing units, connected by a renovated covered balcony with tiled flooring. A private cellar of 3 m² is also included.

Spacious apartment with historic features and modern upgrades

The original part of the apartment was successfully used for short-term rentals. Its layout includes a room with a dining area and decorative Corinthian columns, a separate room with a closet, a kitchen, another storage room, a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, electric oven, fridge with freezer and microwave. The floors are PVC, and there are ceramic tiles in the bathroom and toilet.

The renovated part is currently used by the owners as their private residence. It comprises a living room, a bedroom, a children’s room, a kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub and toilet. The kitchen is fitted with an electric oven, microwave, glass-ceramic cooktop, extractor hood and dishwasher. Water pipes are plastic, and the electrical system has been fully modernised.

There is floating flooring in the kitchen, bedroom and living room; parquet flooring in the children’s room; and ceramic tiles in the bathroom. A boiler located in the kitchen provides hot water for this part of the apartment, while a condensing boiler ensures heating for both units and hot water for the original section.

What about the location?

The apartment is located in one of Prague’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, with full civic amenities – shops, schools, kindergartens and all services needed for everyday life. The Quadrio shopping centre is just a 10-minute walk away and offers everything for comfortable city living.

The winding streets of the Old Town provide countless options for cultural and social experiences – theatres, restaurants, cafés, galleries, museums and more. Among the best-known venues are the Mánes Gallery, National Theatre, Lávka Club, Café Slavia and Café Louvre.

History lovers will appreciate the apartment’s exceptional location – just steps away from Charles Bridge, Kampa, Petřín Hill, Prague Castle, Lesser Town and Old Town Square.

Only a few metres from the building is the tram stop Karlovy lázně, from where it’s one stop to metro line A (Staroměstská) and two stops to metro line B (Národní třída).

The apartment can be financed with a mortgage. If you are looking for exceptional living or an interesting investment in the very heart of Prague, I would be happy to personally show you this unique space.
