Vilnius, Senamiestis, Vitebsko g.
Set on Vitebsko Street in Vilnius, this distinctive residence brings together the character of historic architecture, generous family living spaces and an unexpected private wellness retreat. The original house dates to 1940 and underwent reconstruction between 2005 and 2011, followed by further renovation in 2012. Today, it offers 363.73 sq. m of total space, including almost 108 sq. m on the lower level, with ten rooms in total.
The architecture retains a distinctly classical identity. A symmetrical facade, decorative detailing, traditional proportions and warm timber-framed windows give the house an elegant residential presence, while the garden creates a private green setting around the property. Mature planting and high hedges screen the outdoor areas from their surroundings, creating an intimate environment for everyday life and entertaining.
Inside, the interiors continue the classical language of the architecture. Decorative cornices and ceiling roses, crystal chandeliers, wide-plank timber flooring and carefully selected furnishings create rooms with a strong sense of character. Rather than following a contemporary minimalist aesthetic, the residence embraces a more traditional, decorative approach.
At the heart of the home is an expansive living and entertaining space. A formal sitting area is arranged around an ornate fireplace, while the adjoining billiards area introduces a more relaxed social dimension. Large windows on several sides bring natural light into the room and reinforce the connection with the garden. The dining area flows naturally from the living space, making this part of the house equally suited to family life and larger gatherings.
The kitchen follows the same refined aesthetic, with extensive bespoke-style cabinetry, stone work surfaces and a substantial central island. A dining area positioned beside the windows creates a bright setting for informal meals, while the generous proportions provide ample preparation and storage space.
The private quarters feature a spacious principal bedroom complemented by a thoughtfully arranged owners’ area, including a generous walk-in wardrobe connected to the principal bathroom, as well as a separate dressing and beauty room with a vanity table. The considered layout brings an additional sense of comfort and privacy to everyday living.
One of the property’s defining features is found on the lower level. Beneath impressive brick-vaulted ceilings, the residence reveals a private wellness area centred around an indoor swimming pool. Mosaic finishes, timber flooring and the exposed historic brickwork give the space a distinctive architectural character rarely associated with a private city residence. A sauna and shower area complement the pool, creating a complete at-home retreat. The same level also accommodates a guest bedroom, allowing visitors to enjoy a greater degree of independence and privacy.
Outside, the residence opens onto a secluded garden surrounded by mature greenery. Paved terraces provide space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while established trees and dense planting create a welcome sense of separation from the city. The garden is intimate rather than expansive – conceived as a private extension of the interiors and a peaceful place to spend warmer months.
The residence forms part of a 1,409 sq. m registered land plot, situated within an area subject to cultural heritage protection provisions – an additional reflection of the historic urban context in which the property stands.
Vitebsko Street offers something increasingly difficult to find in Vilnius: the atmosphere and architectural character of an established residence combined with substantial private interiors, a secluded garden and a full indoor wellness area. A home shaped as much by its history as by the lifestyle it offers today.
