This Tiny €530K Finnish Flat Comes Complete With Its Own Sauna

Perched in a historic Art Nouveau building in Helsinki, the petite two-bedroom is filled with space-saving solutions.

Location: Laivurinkatu 41 A, Helsinki, Finland

Price: €530,000 (approximately $590,059 USD)

Year Built: 1907

Renovation Designer: Aleksi Hautamäki

Footprint: 549 square feet (one bedroom, one bath)

From the Agent: "Built in 1907, this Finnish apartment is located in an old Art Nouveau building, which recently underwent a massive remodel. All plumbing, electrical work, and public areas were restored to match the original designs. The flat itself was designed and renovated by the owner, Aleksi Hautamäki. Mixing old and new, the apartment features wooden walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, and clever space-saving innovations. All the fixed furnishings around the flat were custom made for the space from the same handpicked knotty oak veneer as the walls. Though small in size, the apartment was carefully designed to utilize every corner and now includes two bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen, loft, and sauna. It might sound odd to have a sauna in a tiny flat like this, but in Finland saunas are everywhere."

The kitchen sits near the main entry and features long countertops and new appliances. As part of the remodel, the old door recess was converted into cabinets to offer more storage.
