A stunning private home in the Riga city center, Emiļa Melngaiļa street 6, is now up for sale. The historical house was built in 1934 at the request of the Latvian surgeon Pāvils Mucenieks. The design, however, is the work of Nikolajs Nords, a Latvian architect particularly known for his art-nouveau style that can be observed in plenty of his other architectural creations in the city center.
Although the property is located near the rush and the bustle of the busy Krišjāņa Valdemāra street, the private home in Emila Melngaila Street provides for a peaceful hideaway in a calm side street, just on the border of the Quiet Center district. The entire property consists of a large private home, 291,4 square meters in size, as well as the outdoor area, measuring 300 square meters. The interior of the house can be described as incredibly bright and elegant, as the original design elements from the 1930s, such as the floor parquet, cast iron radiators, and ceiling decorations, have been effectively preserved and restored throughout the years. The first floor of the private house, which is 101.8 square meters wide, contains a kitchen, a study, and a living room, however, the second floor, which is 75.2 square meters wide, accommodates three bedrooms. Additionally, a spacious terrace is located on the roof of the house, which can be accessed through a 20.7 square meter attic.
The historical fragments of the house complement the modern interior design delightfully- the dark parquet, doors, and stairs perfectly contrast the snow-white walls and appliances. The elegance of the home can be attributed to multiple eccentric historical objects, such as the candle-like chandelier and the delicately ornamented window that reflects a gorgeous nature view. A great privilege of the home is the well-maintained garden area- excellent garden lighting, paving, and a lawn watering system. The building is heated by gas heating, but the first floor and the basement floor are equipped with warm floors. The house is also supplied with automatic diffuser ventilation, which can be enhanced with additional air conditioning equipment by placing them in the attic.
The home is perfect for those who wish to utilize all the advantages and conveniences of living in the city center, but simultaneously maintain a large living area and privacy from irritating urban sounds. Furthermore, the historical, yet perfectly preserved house, accompanied by modern features, is a terrific opportunity to live among extraordinary interior design and authentic architecture.
