A rare opportunity to acquire an historic listed property which represents a fine example of Spanish Art Nouveau in Santiago de Compostela. This beautiful house stands next to the statue of King Alfonso II of Asturias (“El Casto”) in the monumental area of the Galician capital. As we approach the property, rising over three floors on the corner of a square in the historic quarter, the sculpture of King Alfonso stands to the left. A structure of granite stone and concrete, with traditional blue windows and exterior carpentry. The ground floor is divided into two parts with two separate entrances. One for a separate multifunctional space, that can be a private office or storage, or even be repurposed into a boutique-style business space, pending the correct change of use. Then there is the doorway to the home which opens onto an entrance hall with a beautiful ornate staircase which winds up to the upper floors ahead. Once on the first floor, we find a modern kitchen designed by Santos, which makes great use of space and couples this with style, and a dinning area, with plenty of natural light supplied by the windows, which are on two sides, thanks to the corner location. Back onto the staircase and up to the second floor, there is a lovely living room with the beautifully original traditional gallery which peeps out onto the square. And above, on the third floor, we find two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. This house is located in an enviable and prestigious area of the historic town and is an iconic building from the Spanish Art Nouveau. Constructed in 1906 by Manuel Hernández and Álvarez Reyero, it would suit a couple or small family who have a penchant for architecture and a love of historic buildings, or an investor looking for a unique piece of real estate in the capital of the autonomous community.
