Flat for sale in Lekeitio, Vizcaya

This unique property of 214 m2, located in the heart of the town of Lekeitio (a privileged location next to the mouth of the Lea River), is a town in Biscay halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastián. It is located in front of the Town Hall and near the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in flamboyant Gothic style. Just a 2-minute walk away is the colorful fishing port, bustling with bars, and the beach of Isuntza. It connects with a splendid promenade to the beach of Karraspio (Mendexa). In 10 minutes by car, we can reach the famous Ogeia beach (Ispaster) of sand and rock. It is situated in front of the island of Garraitz, formerly called San Nicolás. One of the reasons why Lekeitio is so special is that as the tide rises and falls, its landscape changes in a fascinating way: a beach appears and disappears as if by magic, connecting the town to the island on foot. The archaeological richness of Garraitz led to the island being declared an archaeological park in 2019. It is the only one currently in the Basque Country. This beautiful and unique apartment located on the second floor of the residential palace built in the 19th century is designated with the number 42 of the monumental complex of the historic center of Lekeitio and classified as protected heritage with the benefits that this entails. It has been completely renovated, just like the entire building. It features a magnificent main entrance from Uribarren Street and a second private access from Gamarra Street. The building has an elevator, oak stairs, mahogany railings, and a spectacular vault. The apartment has been renovated with high-quality materials, such as noble woods of chestnut, Guinea, and French pine for the floors, shutters, wardrobes, doors, baseboards, and bay window; as well as marble for the bathrooms. It has a ceiling height of over 4 meters, allowing two of the 4 bedrooms to be double-height. The master bedroom has a wrought iron fireplace and an en-suite bathroom with a discreet entrance from one of the wardrobe doors. This bathroom is immense, bright, and complete. There is a second spacious interior bathroom. The apartment has a very good layout. The day area is separated from the night area by a large and spectacular hall. The former has two dining rooms, a spacious kitchen, a laundry area, and a large bay window with views towards Gamarra Street. The resting area, in addition to the 4 bedrooms and two previously described bathrooms, contains a large living room with a beautiful decorated ceiling, another French-style fireplace, and balconies with sea views. The entire apartment is exterior except for one bathroom; it has 7 balconies facing the building's facade, with cast iron railings. Spectacular views of the Cantabrian Sea. It is a charming, exceptional, and rare property.
