Architectural gem on the waterfront – Art Deco villa with private sandy beach and boat dock


Nestled in the charming natural setting between Lake Krampnitz and Lake Lehnitz, this extraordinary villa, the Denecke residence, built in 1933, is a rare architectural gem. Built in the Art Deco style, influenced by Expressionism and early Modernism, the property combines perfect living culture. The dreamlike waterfront location, coupled with exclusive privacy and impressive architecture, makes this property one of the most sought-after in the Potsdam area.


On a lakefront property measuring approximately 2,525 sqm, which gently opens up to the water, impressive views open up over Lake Krampitz, the stylishly landscaped gardens, and the forest area opposite. The private shore area has three spacious boat moorings with sufficient draft for sailboats, as well as its own small bathing area with a sandy beach - a discreet luxury that underscores the incomparable lifestyle of this location.


The detached villa was built in solid clinker brick with an elegant hipped roof and has been modernized to the highest standard as part of a comprehensive renovation in line with historic preservation guidelines. It offers a total of around 585 sqm of living/usable space, of which approx. 295 sqm is living space, spread over four levels: the classic bel étage, the upper floor, the converted attic with additional loft space, and the basement, where soft daylight floods the spa area, creating an atmosphere of quiet relaxation.


Special attention was paid to the careful restoration of the original stylistic elements, which now shine again in all their beauty: leaded windows, parquet flooring, period-style travertine fireplaces, authentic sliding doors, wooden-framed windows, window handle olives, and other details blend harmoniously with high-quality, contemporary furnishings.

The bel étage serves as the representative centerpiece. The spacious living area with fine dining, a magnificent 1,000-liter water-bearing travertine fireplace, and historic double doors creates an elegant atmosphere that is light-flooded, inviting, and offers direct access to the approximately 60 m² terrace. This offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding nature and stylishly extends the living space outdoors. A high-quality fitted kitchen, a guest WC, and a cloakroom complete this floor.


Upstairs, a well-designed ensemble of rooms awaits you: a spacious master bedroom with access to the approximately 30 m² terrace with a view of the water, a stylish office with a fireplace, a master bathroom, a dressing room, and a balcony with a view of the front garden. Here, too, emphasis was placed on exclusive materials and a calm, elegant atmosphere.

The attic is ideal as a children's or guest area. Two very spacious rooms, a charming “grandmother's room,” a library or studio, a bathroom, and a practical dressing room offer a wide range of uses. A spiral staircase leads to the lovingly converted “star room” in the attic—a private retreat with a view over the treetops into the distance along the sparkling waterfront.

Another highlight of the property is the indoor wellness and spa area. An oasis with a sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, solarium, shower, and much more, as well as a relaxation area with direct access to the garden and water, it offers a backdrop for relaxation that is rarely found in this form. The basement is complemented by an approx. 145 m² underground garage with seven parking spaces, a workshop, and an area for use as a wine cellar, among other things.

This property combines historical class with modern comfort, architectural finesse with natural exclusivity - a place of exceptional character for people with the highest standards.
