Just a few steps away from the luxury boutiques in Pařížská Street, renowned restaurants, bars and exclusive establishments offering rare delicacies, and at the same time just a stone's throw from nature or a morning jog along the Vltava? Welcome to Bílkova, located in one of the most popular parts of Prague 1 - Old Town.
No eggs, but bleach
Make no mistake. The name of Bílkova Street, which vertically connects the equally famous Dušní and Kozí streets, is not derived from the popular ingredient you might find on your plate every morning. It’s origin can most likely be traced to bleach or bleaching linen. The western part of the street was once called Masařská. The name was derived from Jewish butcher shops. The middle part of the street was called Schepkesova Street after Mr. Schepkes' spa. The eastern part of the street was called V cípu či Ve dvorci (“In the Courtyard”). Since the 15th century, the street bears its current name Bílkova, although its name was incorrectly translated as "Eierklargasse", i.e. "Egg White Street" in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Will you be the lucky owner of this gem?
And it’s not just the street itself that boasts rich history, but also the property, which can easily be yours. We are talking about an apartment in a historic building in the Art Nouveau style. You’ll have a number of prominent neighbors in Bílková Street. Famous personalities such as Franz Kafka, who used to live here with sister, called the house their home in the past. The apartment has undergone a complete renovation and is located on the fourth floor, boasting an area of 125 square meters and a luxurious view of the Old Town. A spacious hallway opens into a living room with a kitchenette, and there’s also a bedroom, a study and a bathroom with a tub.
