Sirkkalankatu, Turku

Original blown windows, two functional tile stoves and a wood stove, Smeg stove and oven, rain shower, underfloor heating in the bathroom, remotely controlled radiators, marble countertops in the kitchen, oak plank parquet floor... you won't find anything like this in Turku, especially in the rental market! The apartment's location is near universities, the riverside, the city center, parks, sports facilities, and the best grocery store in the country, Kupittaa Citymarket. In addition to pipe renovations, the apartment has been lovingly and carefully refurbished from floor to ceiling in the 2020s, aiming to restore the 1920s spirit in the over a hundred-year-old stone building. The apartment is located on the third floor along a quiet street. The bus stop and the nearest grocery store are a stone's throw away, and in the future, the tram stop (TYKS) will be 400 meters away. Large windows flood the area with greenery and the light visible through the beautifully blown glass, which you can further enhance in the summer by removing the 'doubles' (inner windows). Because the apartment is at the corner of the building, the northwest and southeast-facing windows bring sunlight from morning (kitchen, bedroom) to late afternoon (living room). Carefully selected breathable wall materials and traditional windows keep the apartment's indoor air fresh. Maintaining fires in the tile stoves during the winter season and opening the star vents and top covers during the summer season further enhance ventilation. The rent includes broadband internet, approx. 20 m² of basement space, and the use of the laundry room located in the same stairwell, with washing and drying machines. In addition to storing firewood, the basement can be used for carpentry or even for bicycle maintenance. There is also a separately lockable large cabinet, excellent for storing wine or preserves. The somewhat unusual layout of the apartment (two apartments combined at one time) is best suited for a single person or a couple, but I've lived there for years with roommates as well. The primary heating method of the apartment is direct electric heating. The electricity consumption was approximately 7000 kWh in 2025. Heating the tile stoves and the wood stove, and timing the radiators, reduce the need for electricity in winter. On the opposite side of the street and in the surrounding area, there is the possibility of residential parking, which costs 24.28 €/month (area E).
