Finding a First Republic villa in Prague with its own garden, plenty of space, and the opportunity to create a home truly tailored to your own vision is far from easy. That is exactly why this villa on Údolní Street in Prague 4 – Braník deserves your attention.
At first glance, it is clear that this is not a property for someone looking for a finished home ready for immediate move-in. The real value here lies in its space, character, and potential.
The house is awaiting a complete renovation that could restore its original charm while adapting it to the demands of modern living. The result could be a generous family residence, a multi-generational home, a combination of living and business premises, or an attractive investment property.
If you are looking for a house that you can truly make your own, you may have just found it.
🌳 Private Garden and a 635 m² Plot
The villa stands on a plot with a total area of 635 m², of which 485 m² is a garden with mature greenery.
And it is precisely the private garden that gives this property an entirely different dimension.
It could become a peaceful private retreat for relaxation, a place to spend time with family, a children's play area, or simply a green oasis where you can briefly forget that you are still in Prague.
The property also includes a garage and additional parking directly on the private plot.
🔑 Two Residential Floors and Plenty of Possibilities
The ground floor and first floor were originally designed as two separate 3+1 apartments.
In my opinion, this is one of the property's major advantages.
After renovation, the house could function as one spacious family residence, but it could just as easily retain several separate living areas. This creates opportunities for multi-generational living, combining your own home with a rental unit, or various other future uses.
It all depends on which direction the new owner decides to take.
🏠 The Attic Offers Approximately Another 90 m²
And the space does not end on the first floor.
The attic provides approximately 90 m² of additional floor space and was previously used, among other things, as a laundry and drying room.
This creates another interesting opportunity to unlock the property's potential. With the appropriate conversion, additional living rooms could be created here, or the attic could be connected to the apartment on the first floor.
With a house of this type, the ability to work creatively with the layout and individual floors is a significant advantage.
🍷 A Basement That Once Housed a Restaurant
The basement also has an interesting story to tell.
Until the 1970s, a restaurant operated here. The owners later used the premises for residential purposes and occasionally for commercial activities.
The basement also has its own direct access to the garden.
After renovation, it therefore does not have to serve merely as technical or storage space. It could be transformed into a separate garden apartment, office, atelier, studio, business premises, or even a private gym.
In my opinion, this part of the house perfectly demonstrates just how many possibilities the entire property offers.
🛠️ The Villa Is Awaiting a Complete Renovation
With this property, it is important to be clear that the new owner should expect a substantial renovation.
The house has not been occupied in recent years, and the interiors now require complete refurbishment, including the water supply, drainage, and electrical systems.
The inadequate waterproofing around the house and balcony also requires professional repair.
On the other hand, some important work has already been completed in the past.
The house has an insulated façade, modern windows with double glazing, an attic insulated with mineral wool, and the roof has undergone a complete overhaul.
The renovation will therefore require an investment, but at the same time it gives the new owner the opportunity to design the entire house according to their own ideas, needs, and lifestyle.
📍 Braník Offers Peace and Excellent Accessibility
The location itself naturally plays an important role in this property.
Braník is one of the popular residential areas of Prague 4. It combines good access to the city with greenery and a quieter residential atmosphere, which is particularly valuable when it comes to family living.
The combination of a First Republic villa, a private plot, and an established Prague neighbourhood is something that does not appear on the market every day.
The building itself, No. 554, is also officially registered in the Land Registry as a family house.
💡 A House for Someone Who Can See Its Future
In my opinion, this property is not about what it looks like today.
It is about what it could become in the years ahead.
Some will see a spacious family home with a garden. Others may see the opportunity to create separate living spaces for several generations. And for someone else, it could be the perfect chance to combine their home with a business or use part of the property as an investment.
And that is precisely its greatest strength.
There are not many opportunities in Prague where you can acquire a First Republic house with a private garden, garage, several floors, and so much room for your own ideas.
✨ Some Houses Simply Need the Right Person
There are properties where everything is already finished. All you need to do is bring in your furniture and move in.
And then there are houses that require a little imagination.
This First Republic villa in Braník definitely belongs to the second category. It has history, space, a garden, and above all, the potential to once again become an exceptional place to live.
All it needs is a new story.
