What you need to think about before buying a two-level apartment: expert opinion

In recent years, more and more two-level apartments have appeared in Ukrainian new buildings (when one owner has two apartments on adjacent floors at once). This housing is large in terms of area and price, and therefore it is considered elite.

The ultra-modern residential complex Signature, located in the Pechersk district of the Ukrainian capital, offers Elite apartments Kyiv to buy for unique two-level apartments. Together with the engineers of the complex, we analyzed the pros and cons of such housing and are ready to share the results of our research.

Obvious advantages

The main reason why two-level apartments are so attractive is the creation of the illusion of a country house. Several factors contribute to this:

1. the stairs to the second floor. The main marker, which not only indicates the presence of additional housing, but also creates an unusual atmosphere of a mansion in the center of a city block;
2. open space The rise to the second floor, monolithic frame construction and panoramic glazing visually expand the space of the apartment and make it bright and open;
3. vertical division of the square. The first floor is often reserved for the kitchen and living room, and bedrooms are placed on the second floor. It is convenient, especially for a large family.

But according to the engineers of the Signature residential complex, there are other, more practical reasons Buy a two-level apartment in Kyiv: the housing is on the top floors, so there are no neighbors above and you can install a full-fledged solid fuel fireplace.

Plus, a two-level apartment at the construction stage is an opportunity for a profitable investment. According to the law of the market, after handing over the house, real estate rises sharply in price. Especially if it is located in a favorable location.

Since the supply of two-level apartments in Ukraine is limited, housing is always in demand and brings the owner a good investment income, even in case of resale after a few years.

Cons, but formal

We singled out the three most significant:

1. high cost of maintenance;
2. departure of part of the usable area to the stairs;
3. the need to constantly climb the ladder, which carries a certain risk of injury for children and the elderly.

The listed factors are only formally considered minuses, since utility bills for an area of ​​200 to 370 m2 provided in the Signature residential complex will actually be higher than for an 80 m2 apartment. However, the developer made every effort to ensure that they did not become a serious expense even for wealthy owners of two-level apartments. The house is equipped with economical heating boilers, a productive air conditioning system, effective ventilation with energy recovery. Wasteful energy costs are reduced to a minimum.

The space under the stairs can almost always be usefully furnished by placing lockers or a children's area with toys. Signature designers will always help to develop the ideal interior of a two-level apartment.
