Apartment St. Oak

The Friedenseiche oak tree stretches quietly and majestically into the sky in the centre of Kyritz an der Knatter – a small town in green Brandenburg, surrounded by meadows and a forest with a swimming lake. The oak tree is the neighbour and namesake of the loft apartment, which is located on the first floor of a magnificent listed building from 1913.

Once you have passed through the old oak door and the restored staircase with its blue wall tiles and original Art Nouveau stained glass windows, a stately holiday home with a loft-like character for four people opens up inside. The generously proportioned main room comprises a living room with sofa and reading corner, a sleeping area with double bed and a beautiful English kitchen with adjoining marble and cork dining table. There is also a second bedroom with a freestanding bathtub and a separate bathroom with a shower and washbasin made of Carrara marble as well as handmade fittings.

With their ‘Designtales’ blog series, the two owners have not only dedicated themselves to subtle interior design, but also to culinary delights, as demonstrated by the open-plan kitchen with centre island and bar stools, which forms the heart of the loft apartment. Furnished and equipped with high-quality, detailed design, it inspires the desire to cook – preferably in company.

All windows face south and bathe the spaces in soft light when the sun is shining. Together with the lush balcony, from which you have a view of the oak tree and across the town square to the red-brick town hall. A lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee or apéritif in the evening.

One floor below, guests can enjoy a hidden courtyard surrounded by ivy and wild vines as well as an enchanted garden with hydrangeas, fragrant lavender, all kinds of flowers, Mediterranean plants and fruit trees. The outdoor kitchen in the courtyard, complete with a large dining table and lounge furniture, invites you to barbecue or cook in the open air. After all, nothing beats hospitality in its most beautiful forms here.

Owner

(Food) stylist and fashion designer Nora Eisermann and photographer Laura Muthesius have transformed the kitchen of an old schoolhouse in the countryside into their culinary-creative studio to conjure up gluten-free cake delicacies for their blog ‘Our Food Stories’. As the two Berliners not only want to photograph beautifully decorated tables in the most remote places and share their food with others, but also their passion for good design and interiors, they have created two other blog series, ‘Dinner Stories’ and ‘Designtales’. With St. Oak, they have fulfilled their dream of a self-designed holiday home that delights all their guests' senses.
