Toukolakoti (Kustaa Vaasan tie 13) boasts an excellent location and previously served as a specialised housing unit. The building features 14 rooms, a sauna and a separate garage. The building has plenty of potential: it could serve as a home for a large family or be converted into several separate apartments, for example. The approximately 1,740-square-metre land area will be leased to the purchaser with a long-term land lease agreement.
With Villa Notsund (Hallkullanniemi 14), which was built by the seashore in the early 20th century, the City is also selling a land area of nearly 4,900 square metres. Villa Notsund features two residential floors and an attic. The residential building offers a beautiful view of the sea, and the purchase also includes a seaside sauna.
Two grandma’s cottages in Laajasalo
In the near future, the City will also open the auctions for two red wooden buildings on Mankelipolku in Laajasalo, near Laajasalo Comprehensive School and Sports Park. Originally a part of Degerö Manor, the houses are located approximately 150 metres from the seashore.
The house Mankelipolku 2 has been split into a large studio apartment and one bedroom apartment, which have a shared entrance hall. The house has a sauna that can be accessed from both apartments and an unbuilt attic spanning the entire house. The house has a floor area of 200 square metres and is located on a plot with an area of just over 2,700 square metres, which will be leased to the buyer.
The most recent inhabitant of Mankelipolku 6 lived in the house for several decades. The house has a floor area of 100 square metres, consisting of three rooms and a kitchen. The house is on a plot with an area of just over 1,500 square metres, which the City will lease to the buyer.
Both Mankelipolku houses also include an outbuilding. All the rooms in both houses feature fireplaces, but both houses lack running water and plumbing and associated connections.
Alterations and repairs to be carried out in accordance with protection regulations
All of the buildings being auctioned off are in need of extensive renovation. Villa Notsund and the Mankelipolku buildings are protected with an SR2 marking. This means that any renovations carried out must not reduce the value of the buildings or erase their characteristics. Toukolakoti must also be repaired in a way that promotes the preservation and strengthening of the valuable features of the buildings and the neighbouring environment.
The auctions for Toukolakoti and Villa Notsund will remain open until the second week of July. The auctions for the Mankelipolku buildings will extend to end of the summer.
In accordance with its facilities strategy, the City of Helsinki’s aim is to give up buildings that it does not need for its own services and that it does not have other strategic reasons to own. The buildings will be sold in the condition and with the fixtures that they are in and have at the time of purchase.
