Description
Located on the 5th floor, the apartment provides 118.5 sq m of living space arranged as a generous living room and two bedrooms. Priced at EUR 459,650 (approximately USD 515,638), the property combines the scale and character of a traditional central Riga apartment with the comfort and technology expected from a modern residence.
A Historic Riga Residence
Benjamina Romance occupies an elegant building at 53 Dzirnavu Street, originally constructed in 1898 and designed by architect Edmund von Trompovisk.
Its restored façade combines Eclectic and Art Nouveau influences, while the renovation has been carried out with the aim of retaining the architectural character of the original building while introducing contemporary interiors and modern engineering.
The building also has a distinctive cultural history. In the 1930s it was home to German philosopher and writer Walter Benjamin, whose connection with the property inspired the Benjamina Romance name.
Large window openings bring generous natural light into the interiors, while access to the apartments has been modernised with several options including a traditional key, digital code, fingerprint or facial recognition.
Central Riga Location
The property is positioned in central Riga, approximately a 10-minute walk from the Old Town, making it well placed for enjoying the city on foot.
Restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, educational institutions and cultural venues are all available nearby, while Riga's historic centre, business districts and main city amenities are within easy reach.
For an overseas buyer, this provides an attractive combination: the character and architecture associated with historic Riga, while remaining in a practical central location suitable for everyday living rather than purely seasonal use.
Lifestyle & Investment Potential
With 118.5 sq m and two bedrooms, Apartment No. 24 offers considerably more space than many modern city-centre apartments, making it suitable as a principal residence, second home or high-quality long-term rental property.
From an investment perspective, its appeal comes from the combination of a fully renovated historic building, central walkable location and substantial apartment size. Properties of this type can appeal to professionals, international residents and buyers seeking character homes rather than conventional new-build apartments.
As with any property investment, future rental income and capital appreciation will depend on market conditions, but the combination of location, architectural character and modern renovation gives the property a strong long-term residential proposition.
Building Features
Residents benefit from a lift, renovated common areas and a secure enclosed courtyard. Courtyard parking is available, providing a valuable practical feature for a central Riga property.
The restoration combines historic architecture with modern-day functionality, allowing buyers to enjoy the atmosphere of a late-19th-century Riga residence without giving up contemporary comfort.
