More information about the property
Sotheby’s Int. Realty Czech Republic offers a unique opportunity to purchase a townhouse in the prestigious Obecní dvůr Residence, located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town.
The concept of this residence combines the space of a family villa with a private garden, set within a gated complex with reception, parking, and a communal courtyard—all just a few steps from Old Town Square, Pařížská Street, or Dvořák Embankment.
The ground floor of the townhouse forms the main living area with an open space combining living room, dining area, and kitchen, which dominates the interior thanks to its cladding in polished exotic wood and backlit onyx. A distinctive feature is the wooden parquet flooring and modern chandeliers that emphasize the atmosphere of the historic space with high vaulted ceilings. The ground floor is directly connected to the private garden through double French doors. This level also includes an entrance hall with storage space, a guest toilet, a utility room with laundry facilities, and a spacious wine cellar.
On the first floor begins the private part of the townhouse with a study and library, followed by a children’s bedroom with its own bathroom and built-in closet. Then comes the main bedroom, also with its own dressing room and bathroom. All these rooms face the residence’s courtyard, ensuring peace, privacy, and pleasant greenery views.
The second floor is designed as a separate children’s apartment with its own space combining kitchen, living and dining area, plus three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All floors are connected by a staircase and a private elevator. The interiors predominantly combine wooden and natural stone floors and cladding. Heating is provided through underfloor heating and radiators, while the first and second floors are equipped with air conditioning.
The townhouse also includes one parking space in the residence’s stacking system.
Obecní dvůr represents the concept of luxury living in the heart of Prague’s Old Town. The transformation of this historic gem into 12 exclusive residences was carried out under the direction of Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, combining modern living standards, premium materials, and historical features of the original buildings. This is a gated residence offering its residents maximum privacy and security. Of course, it includes private parking, landscaped gardens, a reception, and full security.
The history of the residence dates back to the 15th century. Remarkably, most of the buildings survived demolition during the radical redevelopment and modernization of the city in the 19th and 20th centuries. Obecní dvůr combines features from Renaissance through Baroque to Neoclassicism, making it a living testimony to Prague’s architectural development. Throughout its existence, it has served various functions, for example as the Royal Fire Station or a school. Literature lovers may also recognize this area from Jaroslav Foglar’s stories of the “Rychlé šípy,” referring to it as “the Prague Stínadla.” Today, the complex is an oasis of privacy in the historic city center and an ideal place for family living.
