Charming 1-bedroom apartment in a renovated Stalin-era brick building
A warm and character-filled 1-bedroom apartment is now for sale at Majaka põik 5, in the practical and well-connected Sikupilli area, close to the city centre, Kadriorg, Ülemiste and Tallinn Airport.
This is not a standard compact apartment. It is a home with personality, history and a genuine sense of comfort. The apartment is located in a solid Stalin-era brick building, valued for its high ceilings, thick walls, quiet atmosphere and stable indoor climate — warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer.
At the same time, the building has already undergone important upgrades, including a new insulated façade and renewed technical systems. This gives the buyer a rare combination: the charm and quality of an older brick building together with improved modern comfort.
The apartment — more spacious than the square metres suggest
The official apartment size is 39.5 m², yet the home feels noticeably more spacious thanks to its smart layout, high ceilings and soft arched opening between the living areas.
The layout is practical and comfortable for everyday living:
open-plan kitchen and living room,
separate bedroom,
shower room,
separate toilet,
entrance area and storage solutions.
The arched opening between the kitchen and living area creates a natural flow and makes the home feel more open, softer and more inviting. The apartment does not feel cramped — it feels cosy, balanced and well thought out.
Interior with warmth and personality
The interior combines light eclectic elements, subtle vintage-classic details and warm country-style touches. The result is a home that feels personal and inviting rather than cold or generic.
This is a place for someone who does not want a sterile white box, but a home with atmosphere, charm and a sense of history.
The high ceilings add air and dignity, while the thick brick walls contribute to a calm and secure living environment.
Practical everyday advantages
The apartment offers several valuable features that make daily life easier and more comfortable:
high ceilings,
possibility to install a fireplace,
gas-powered underfloor heating in the kitchen area,
possibility to control heat consumption,
strengthened historical structural elements,
low utility costs,
free parking around the building.
A major additional benefit is the large basement storage room with shelves, included in the price.
For a compact apartment, this is a real advantage. Bicycles, suitcases, seasonal clothes, tools and sports equipment can all be stored separately, keeping the living space clean and uncluttered.
If the future owner does not need such a large storage room personally, there is also potential to rent it out.
Low running costs
The apartment is warm and cost-efficient to maintain. Gas heating and the ability to control heat consumption help keep monthly expenses reasonable.
This is a strong advantage both for owner-occupiers and investors. Lower running costs make ownership more comfortable and can also improve rental attractiveness.
The building
Majaka põik 5 is a Stalin-era brick building with solid construction and thick walls.
Buildings of this type are appreciated for their quietness, high ceilings, good thermal qualities and sense of stability. With the renewed façade and updated technical systems, the building is now even more appealing to buyers looking for both character and practicality.
This is not an anonymous large apartment block, but a calmer residential setting with a more personal and established feel.
Location — close to the city centre and everyday essentials
The location is one of the key strengths of this property. Majaka põik is a convenient and well-connected address for everyday city life.

This apartment is a great fit for:
a first home buyer,
a single person or a couple,
someone working in the city centre, Ülemiste or near the airport,
