This very tastefully renovated and furnished stone one-bedroom house with a remarkable atmosphere and over 250 years of history is located in the picturesque, historic part of Střešovice. At one time, it served as the setting for Václav Havel’s play Audience and also appears in scenes from the documentary Citizen Havel is Rolling the Empty Barrels. Thanks to its exceptional location and the close-knit, community-oriented lifestyle of local residents, it presents an ideal choice for peaceful living for individuals or couples in a place with an incredible genius loci.
The main living area with a fireplace is seamlessly connected to a fully equipped, timeless kitchen and is situated on the ground floor, where you’ll also find an elegant bathroom with a bathtub and toilet. The kitchen has access to a courtyard with a seating area, as well as an airy staircase leading to the upper floor, which houses an air-conditioned bedroom fitted with built-in wardrobes and a shaded terrace. In the basement, there is a small utility/storage room housing the technical systems.

The unique historic character of the property is enhanced by a meticulously crafted interior designed with attention to every detail and a modern touch. The ambiance is accentuated by wooden floors, exposed ceiling beams, and custom-made furniture. The house features restored double-glazed wooden casement windows and aluminum entrance doors. The living areas are heated by cast iron radiators, while the bathroom benefits from underfloor heating. Comfort is further enhanced by Midea air-conditioning. Heating is provided by a Protherm electric boiler, and as an alternative, a new fireplace with heat distribution to the upper floor can be used. The house has gone through several phases of renovation, including complete the replacement of all utilities, roof repairs, wall remediation, and restoration of all interior elements.
The house is located within a small heritage zone of rural buildings dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, built against sandstone cliffs. On the street, often referred to as the “Golden Lane of Střešovice”, there once stood a thriving vineyard named Na Kocourkách, remembered today by a former vineyard cottage at No. 36/6 and replicas of historical gas lamps. Just two streets up lies an English-style park dominated by the Kajetánka Manor. Střešovice offers full civic amenities and is well connected by bus and tram. A longer walk will take you to Prague Castle or Petřín Hill.
