This light and spacious mezzanine apartment is a breath of fresh air in the centre of Užupis, an undeniably charismatic corner of Vilnius filled with steamy tea rooms, perfume parlours, street sculpture and shamanism, poetry and mythology flowing together in the winding waters of the Vilnelė river. The interior is awash with pastel geometries and sweeping curves. A delicate balance of comfort and style, the perfect oasis from which to explore this eccentric neighbourhood beyond the bridges. The apartment is stowed away inside a calm and cosy courtyard, fully isolated from street noise and with an east-facing facade which fills the spaces with morning light. There is a small garden, and through the front door a Lynchian-style corridor with additional storage, filled with cleaning essentials. Inside, you’ll find a recently renovated home with 45 m2 of thoughtfully designed living space. The ground floor features an open plan lounge area with a double height ceiling, merging into a fully fitted kitchen with adjacent downstairs bathroom. The staircase leads to a spacious 16 m2 mezzanine bedroom, complete with a queen-sized bed, fitted wardrobes, a working desk and even a reading/meditation nook tucked beneath one of the apartment’s three large skylights. The apartment is designed with soft curved lines and finished in a vibrant palette of pastel shades. It has a serene and calming ambience, enhanced by a selection of atmospheric lighting options, perfect for any time of day or night. The living space is bright and spacious, and flooded with natural light from the large window which looks out onto the courtyard. There is a two-seater sofa furnished in plush fabric, which makes a great place to relax with a book and a morning coffee. A 4K flatscreen TV with cable is also included. Mirrors expand the space horizontally, underfloor heating ensures comfort all year-round, and there is a feeling of quality in every fixture and fitting. The mezzanine platform overlooks the living space, and is large enough for a queen-sized bed with a chic wall-mounted writing desk nearby. There are fitted cabinets and wardrobes on both sides, offering an abundance of storage space for any length of stay, and a full length mirror for getting ready to go out. The sloped ceiling is fitted with a wide skylight window above the bed, through which you’ll see bright blue skies, swirling clouds, or even stars on a clear night. The recently installed kitchen features a wide worktop with a deep sink and a four-spot induction hob. Underneath, there is plenty of cabinet space, an oven, a tall fitted fridge freezer, and a dishwasher for your convenience. Above, you’ll find a hidden drying rack and shelves filled with glassware and ceramic dishes. Cooking essentials such as salt, pepper, spices, oil, tea and coffee are complimentary. The dining area boasts a round table and chairs which comfortably seat 4 diners. The downstairs bathroom is beautifully tiled in muted monochrome, and simply furnished with clean lines and convenient storage spaces. There is a washing machine, handmade corner cupboard, vintage style mirror, fresh towels and bathroom essentials. The water pressure is excellent, and the underfloor heating ensures the room stays warm and dry when not in use. In summary, this wonderfully balanced apartment is alive with energy and personal details. It is both a cosy and refreshing space to spend time in, and is a wonderful place to return to after a day enjoying the city.
