Santiago de Compostela, Galicia 15701

This stunning detached villa with a garden in the city centre offers 421 m of accommodation across three floors in a privileged area in the sought-after centre of Santiago de Compostela. With bespoke stained-glass windows and artistic stonework, this is a very special property with features by the hand of its original owner and renowned Santiago artist, Roberto Gonzales del Blanco. The design of the home itself was the work of famed Galician architect Jenaro de La Fuente. Completed in 1948, with renovations in 1975 and 2013 including the replacement of the roof, the house retains period features such as a beautiful mosaic hallway, that we find after walking through the grand arched entrance underneath the hand-crafted stonework of the facade. The ground floor is currently let to a commercial tenant, but can easily be converted back to form part of the house. This floor was renovated over the last decade and benefits from heating from an air-source heat pump and features a kitchen, and what was previously a lounge with fireplace, bathroom and a sitting room. Ornate ceilings and stained-glass windows surround you as you walk across the tiles to an attractive wooden staircase with carved. Once on the first floor, we find a living room filled with furniture of the time, a salon, and a large dining room with terrace looking out onto the street. Period features reign throughout, with original doors and flooring still present, yet in fantastic condition. There is a fitted kitchen, bathroom another living room as well as two generous bedrooms on this floor. Upstairs in the 'tower' we find three further bedrooms, another bathroom and lounge. At the basement level is another usable living space previously used as a small apartment, which has its own bathroom. Heating on the upper floors is provided by oil boiler and radiators. Whilst in a liveable condition, the property would benefit from some investment to bring it to current standards. Outside the house is surrounded by a private garden with room at the rear for a pool. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a unique, historic detached property in the centre of the historic city of Santiago de Compostela. It would suit anyone looking for a piece of unique real-estate of architectural interest in the heart of the city of Santiago and offers the opportunity to become a family home to those seeking a property in the town but benefiting at the same time from the advantages of a detached house and garden. This property also presents an excellent investment opportunity for various commercial uses.
