Description
Historic noble building for sale — a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a high-end residential project or premium investment
In an established urban setting, this exceptional property featuring historic architecture is presented: an entire building with presence, scale, and authenticity—rarely repeatable on today’s market. A construction with its own character, conceived in an era when architecture was solid, noble, and built to last. Today, it is offered as an unrepeatable opportunity for transformation at a boutique level or as luxury residential living: a heritage structure with high revaluation potential, ready to be reinterpreted under contemporary criteria without losing its original identity.
Architectural character and presence
From its façade—excellent condition—the building conveys balance and nobility. The original proportions, the vertical reading of its openings, and the traditional wooden joinery with reveals evoke a period architecture: honest and solid.
Inside, access is via a stately entrance, where the hall retains its original hydraulic flooring and old ceramic elements on the walls—an antechamber that anticipates the character of the whole.
The main staircase, spacious and representative, acts as the building’s backbone, reinforcing its potential as an exclusive residential project or a division into high-level independent units.
Layout and transformation potential
The property consists of ground floor + three upper floors + a roof underbuild, with no horizontal division, allowing absolute freedom in design and real estate strategy.
- Ground floor — versatile base with exterior connection: open-plan space to fully renovate and enable, with access to a small patio and the possibility to connect with a garden. A flexible volume that can be transformed into an independent home, a wellness area, a study, or a main access area for a luxury project.
- First floor for integral renovation — classic elegance with exterior openness: current layout with multiple rooms, kitchen, and a bathroom. Two galleries and two balconies provide light, ventilation, and architectural presence. High ceilings, reclaimed wood joinery, and large windows with original arches reinforce its aesthetic value.
- Second floor — the most balanced: similar layout with versatile rooms, kitchen, and a bathroom, plus two galleries and two balconies. This is the best-preserved floor, with a solid foundation for a premium home or the main unit within a rehabilitation project.
- Third floor (roof underbuild) — a creative space with high potential: beneath the traditional roof structure, a singular-character space is opened up, ideal for a contemporary loft, an exclusive penthouse, or an author’s studio. It currently shows greater wear.
Construction authenticity and original value
This building preserves the essence of its original construction:
Solid load-bearing walls with possible structural air chamber
High ceilings on all floors
Reclaimable wooden floors
Interior partitions made of lath boards, easily reconfigurable
Removable false ceilings of plasterboard and wood
Exposed wooden beams in the roof (partially preserved)
Cracks are visible in interior finishes (plasterboard and render), typical of the passage of time, without affecting the building’s primary structural reading.
The exterior wooden joinery is in a condition that is recoverable, enabling restoration with high aesthetic value.
Light, orientation, and volumetry
The building has three orientations and large windows, ensuring constant brightness and natural cross-ventilation. The galleries and balconies enhance the relationship between interior and exterior, adding a highly appreciated architectural quality in high-end projects.
Urban flexibility and development potential
An urban plot grouping is included with the possibility of access and straightforward connection. The area allows low + four storeys urban development potential, opening the door to a vision of greater scale for developers or mixed-use developments.
In addition, the absence of horizontal division allows for multiple strategies:
Creation of 4 independent luxury homes
Boutique project of premium apartments
High-end private multifamily residence
Rehabilitation with strong heritage-based revaluation
Current status
No water supply
No electricity supply
Tiled roof over fibre cement/“uralita”
Overall structure stable but requiring full rehabilitation
Penthouse floor with a higher degree of deterioration
Second floor in the best state of preservation
A rare investment piece in its category
This property does not compete in the conventional market. It is positioned in a different category: buildings with history, volume, and real architectural potential.
An opportunity aimed at:
Heritage investors
Premium rehabilitation developers
Families looking for a singular, unrepeatable residence
Boutique high-profitability projects
Conclusion
A structure with memory, presence, and a future—ready to become a contemporary architectural reference without losing its historic essence.
