This unique property of 214 m2, located in the heart of the town of Lekeitio (privileged location next to the mouth of the Lea river), is a town in Vizcaya halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastian. 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 Isuntza beach. It is connected by a splendid promenade to the Karraspio beach (Mendexa). Within a 10-minute drive, you can reach the famous Ogeia beach (Ispaster) with its sandy and rocky shores. Situated in front of the island of Garraitz, formerly known as "San Nicolás," Lekeitio's landscape changes fascinatingly with the tides: a beach appears and disappears as if by magic, connecting the town to the island on foot. Garraitz's archaeological wealth led to the island being declared an archaeological park in 2019, the only one currently in the Basque Country. This beautiful and unique apartment, located on the second floor of a residential palace built in the 19th century, is designated as No. 42 in the monumental complex of the historic center of Lekeitio and classified as protected heritage with all the associated benefits. It has been completely renovated, as has the entire building. The property features a grand 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 vaulted ceiling. The apartment has been renovated using high-quality materials, such as noble woods like chestnut, Guinea, and French pine for the floors, shutters, closets, doors, skirting boards, and bay window, as well as marble for the bathrooms. With ceiling heights of over 4 meters, two of the 4 bedrooms have double heights. The master bedroom boasts a wrought iron fireplace and an en-suite bathroom with a discreet entrance hidden within one of the wardrobe doors. This bathroom is immense, bright, and luxurious. There is also a second spacious interior bathroom. The apartment has a very well-thought-out layout. The daytime area is separated from the nighttime area by a grand and stunning vestibule. The former includes two dining rooms, a spacious kitchen, laundry area, and a large bay window with views towards Gamarra street. The latter, in addition to the 4 bedrooms and two aforementioned bathrooms, features a large living room with a beautifully decorated ceiling, another French-style fireplace, and balconies with sea views. The entire property is exterior-facing except for one bathroom and boasts 7 balconies with cast iron railings. The views of the Cantabrian Sea are truly spectacular. This is a charming, exceptional, and rare property. As for the price, the amount of 850,000€ reflects the unique value and features of this property, such as its privileged location in the historic town of Lekeitio, the stunning views of the sea, the high-quality materials used in its renovation, and its status as a protected heritage building. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a picturesque setting.
