Although the Riga Old Town is home to numerous examples of stunning historical architecture, the house in Miesnieku street 1 is undoubtedly extraordinary. Built in 1870, the 265-square-meter home holds prestige, elegance, and a genuine atmosphere of royalty at its essence.
When entering the home, an aura of antiquity and luxury is immediately evident. The walls of the lobby are adorned with detailed engravings, gorgeous sculptures are placed in the corners of the rooms, and the floors are covered in white marble. The rest of the rooms maintain the same ambiance of opulence, as nearly all of the interior design elements of the home incorporate a distinct detail, for example- golden chandeliers embellish the walls, ceilings of multiple rooms portray charming paintings, and the stair railings, intricately ornamented in curvy decorations, will make anyone feel like royalty. The property's first floor encloses elegant cabinet rooms, a wardrobe, an exit to utility rooms, and guest bathrooms.
The second floor contains more lavish rooms- a spacious guest hall, library, dining room, and kitchen area. The rooms glisten in majestic golden tones, and bright furniture, but the magnificent columns evoke feelings of being in a glamorous aristocratic castle. The staircase leads up to the third and the fourth floors, where six bedrooms are situated, as well as the attic floor, which contains a hall and a spacious winter garden. The bedrooms match the atmosphere of the rest of the home, accommodating antique furniture, wall decorations, and snug carpets, ensuring a comfortable and cozy night's sleep. For nights that call for peace and rest, the SPA area in the basement, containing a sauna, a pool, a wardrobe, and a peaceful relaxation zone, will be the place to be.
Containing endless amounts of lush pieces of furniture, life in Miesnieku street 1 would be nothing short of a journey into thrilling history. Situated in the center of the Old Town, the home provides an advantageous location close to bars, restaurants, and stores, as well as easy access to other districts of Riga.
