This historic apartment near Rothschild occupies a beautifully restored floor of one of Lev Ha’ir’s most architecturally significant heritage buildings — an Eclectic-style structure on Lilienblum Street, originally designed by architect Yosef Bersky and restored to its original standard in 2024 by preservation specialist Dov Alon. The result is a property with genuine architectural character: original wooden shutters and an ornate stone facade on the exterior, patterned encaustic tiles across the generous 13 sqm south-facing balcony, and wide-plank oak floors throughout the interior. The apartment spans 81 sqm across 3.5 rooms and is exceptionally bright across two aspects — south and west — through full-height French doors and original timber-framed windows.
As a historic apartment near Rothschild Boulevard, this property occupies a rare position in the Tel Aviv market: a fully renovated, move-in-ready apartment inside a registered heritage building, with a large new MAMAD safe room, elevator access, and an immediate entry date. The apartment has never been occupied since the 2024 restoration and is finished to a high standard throughout, with new marble-tiled bathrooms and wall-hung fixtures. It works equally as a primary residence for buyers who want genuine building character without renovation risk, and as a long-term let in a location where demand is consistently strong. Our guide to Rothschild Boulevard gives useful context on the area. Contact Ronkin to arrange a viewing.

Neighborhood: Lev Ha’ir
Lev Ha’ir — Tel Aviv’s historic heart — is built across the Rothschild and Lilienblum corridor, the city’s most architecturally and culturally significant stretch. The neighbourhood is known for its concentration of early 20th-century Eclectic and Bauhaus buildings, tree-lined boulevards, and a street-level mix of wine bars, restaurants, boutique studios, and financial institutions. Demand from local and international buyers remains consistently strong, driven by walkability, cultural prestige, and proximity to the sea. Properties in preserved buildings in this condition rarely reach the open market. Our full Lev Ha’ir neighbourhood guide covers the area in depth, and our guide to buying as a foreigner in Israel covers the purchase process for international buyers
