Dom on Khlebny – 178.0 sq. m.

Dom na Khlebnom

An intimate residence of just 13 apartments in a quiet Arbat lane — a restored 1913 building, finished interiors, ceilings up to 4 metres and dedicated parking with valet service.

Dom na Khlebnom is located at 19 Khlebny Lane, between Povarskaya Street, Novy Arbat and Nikitsky Boulevard, approximately one kilometre from the Kremlin.

This is not a contemporary development designed to resemble old Moscow. It is a restored historic building: the former Baskakov apartment house, originally built in 1913 to a design by architect Olgerd Piotrovich. Its historic façade was preserved during reconstruction, while the residential interiors and building systems were comprehensively modernised.

Architecture & Apartments

The building is an example of early 20th-century neoclassical architecture. Its contemporary restoration was developed by SPEECH, retaining the historic character of the exterior while adapting the property for modern residential use.

There are just 13 residences, ranging from approximately 95 to 350 sq m, with ceiling heights reaching 4 metres depending on the floor.

The apartments are offered with completed interiors incorporating natural stone, marble and timber, together with fitted kitchens, appliances and finished bathrooms. For buyers seeking a home in central Moscow without undertaking a lengthy renovation, this is an important advantage.

The rarest properties are on the upper floors: duplex penthouses with private open terraces and views across historic central Moscow. There is also a duplex residence on the lower floors with its own access to the courtyard.

Residents’ Spaces & Service

With only 13 residences, privacy is one of the defining qualities of the building. The number of neighbours is exceptionally limited, with none of the resident traffic associated with larger premium developments.

Residents have access to a private reception lounge, individual storage rooms and dedicated service facilities.

A 24-hour concierge service is provided, together with additional hospitality-style services including housekeeping, personal drivers and valet parking.

Parking & Security

The residence has access to 20 dedicated underground parking spaces located approximately 200 metres away, within the nearby Teatralny Dom development. Valet service allows residents to leave and collect their cars directly at Dom na Khlebnom.

With 13 residences, the allocation represents approximately 1.5 parking spaces per apartment across the project.

For a property in historic central Moscow, this is particularly valuable, although buyers should understand that the parking facility is not beneath the building itself.

Access control, CCTV, security and a 24-hour concierge service are provided.

Families & Education

The Arbat district offers a broad choice of state and private education.

Schools within the wider neighbourhood include School No. 1231, named after V. D. Polenov, and School No. 1529, named after A. S. Griboyedov. Private primary education is also available locally.

For families, the strength of the location is not extensive children’s infrastructure within the residence itself, but access to the educational and cultural environment of central Moscow.

Location

Arbatskaya metro station is approximately 9–10 minutes away on foot.

Novy Arbat, Povarskaya Street and Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street are nearby. The Moscow Conservatory, Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, Mayakovsky Theatre, Khudozhestvenny cinema and the restaurants of Arbat and Patriarch’s Ponds are all within the surrounding central district.

The Kremlin and Alexander Garden are approximately one kilometre away.

At the same time, Khlebny Lane is noticeably quieter than Moscow’s principal central streets. This combination of a highly central address and a more discreet residential setting is one of the property’s defining qualities.

Points to Consider

This is a restored historic building and should not be assessed by exactly the same criteria as a newly built residence. The engineering systems, ventilation, air conditioning, sound insulation and condition of an individual apartment should all be reviewed carefully before purchase.

There is no large private landscaped territory. The value proposition is different: privacy, architecture and a highly central historic address.

The underground parking is located approximately 200 metres from the residence rather than directly beneath it, although valet service significantly reduces the practical inconvenience.

Russian Estate View

The defining quality of Dom na Khlebnom is the combination of a historic Moscow address with an exceptional degree of residential privacy.

Just 13 residences, ceilings reaching 4 metres, completed interiors, dedicated parking and a quiet lane approximately one kilometre from the Kremlin create a very different proposition from Moscow’s larger contemporary developments.

The upper-floor residences and penthouses with private terraces are particularly noteworthy.

When selecting a property here, we would focus on:

floor + view + layout + condition of interior + engineering systems + parking.

At Dom na Khlebnom, a substantial part of the value lies not simply in the number of square metres, but in the building itself, its intimacy and its address.
