In Minsk, a time-frozen apartment is on sale, reflecting the lifestyle of the BSSR intelligentsia.

Here's a fresh take on that intriguing apartment nestled in the Red House on Tank Street:

Let's face it; we don't come across many vintage apartments in iconic buildings where time seems to stand still quite often. And luckily for us, there's one up for grabs in that very long red house on Tank, formerly known as Tankova, where intellectual heavyweights of the BSSR once resided, claims realt.by.

This kilometer-long red house on Tank Street houses numerous apartments, constructed from the mid-70s to the end of the 80s based on a Czech design or improved project. Known for their spacious layouts and generous kitchens, some boast multiple balconies. Residents included the nomenklatura, scientific professionals, and creative intellectuals. Legendary Belarusian authors, like Vasily Bykov and Ivan Shamyakin, once called these houses home.

At Tank 36, building 1 (closer to Timiryazeva), a three-bedroom, 61.52 sqm apartment on the third floor is available. Constructed in 1988, this part of the house magically transformed from red to yellow over time.

The apartment's unique layout includes:

The living room, or rather, the hall, retains the original 80s parquet, sleek lacquered furniture, and a classic "wall unit" adorned with dishes and books. A charming chandelier with pendants and doors with glass inserts complete the look.

The bedrooms showcase another "wall unit" and school desks, while the simpler bedroom maintains the overall ambiance.

The kitchen boasts the most modern features - a fridge, stove, and flat-screen TV.

The entrance hall is roomy, with the entrance door boasting striking red upholstery.

The bathroom stands separate, and there are two balconies to enjoy the fresh air.

Priced at $109,900, this gem sets you back $1,786 per sqm.
