Townhouse for sale in Granada city, Granada

Tucked away in one of the most atmospheric corners of the Albayzín, this enchanting house is a rare blend of history, character and practicality. Originally built in the 1500s, the house was carefully rebuilt in 1976 and then comprehensively renovated again in 2008, bringing it up to modern standards while respecting and preserving its historic soul.

The interior of the house is organised around a charming private patio, a true Andalusian heart to the home. This sunlit courtyard, planted with pots and climbers, provides a peaceful, secluded outdoor space for dining, reading or simply enjoying the quiet of the Albayzín.

The accommodation is arranged as:
On the ground floor there is: an entrance hall, a lounge with wood burner; a dining area and a kitchen, all of which have direct access to the internal patio. There is also a bathroom, a toilet and an outside space for storage.
On the first floor, accessed via a covered gallery, there are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. There is also a small terrace on this level.
Above this on the second floor is a large bedroom with en-suite bathroom. This room, and the gallery that gives access to it, look straight across at the Alhambra.

Air conditioning/heating is fitted to all rooms where necessary.
The house is sold furnished with high quality beds, tables, sofa etc.

There are many interesting elements preserved from the house’s past, both Moorish and Christian. These have been left exposed, covered by glass to protect them. At the same time, the 2008 renovation means the house functions as a modern home, with up-to-date installations, kitchens and bathrooms, and a layout that works for contemporary living rather than as a museum piece.
From the street, the whitewashed façade with its traditional tiled eaves and wrought-iron window grills reveal the property’s age. Like many of the flower-filled balconies and windows in the Albayzin the exterior conceals the long tradition of intimate, inward-looking houses that reveal their true beauty once you step inside. The house overlooks neighbouring gardens, as well as the rooftops and churches of the Albayzin.
