Some properties are advertised.
And then there are properties that you stumble upon.
This is one of those.
Located in the heart of downtown Girona is this historic residence, built in 1936—an apartment that rivals a house in size, with a presence, a history, and a personality that cannot be replicated through a cookie-cutter renovation.
Because we're not just talking about square meters here.
It certainly has them: 389 m² of floor space on an 874 m² lot.
We’re not just talking about rooms.
Although it also features: 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a parking space, a private elevator, a garden, and a porch with a barbecue.
We’re talking about a house that retains what many new homes try to imitate without success: high ceilings, moldings, terrazzo floors, large windows, spacious rooms, a fireplace, elegant doors, and a facade with the understated elegance of homes that were built before everything started to look too similar.
The main living room is spacious, bright, and full of character. It’s not a room meant to be rushed through. It’s a space to be savored—to read by the fireplace, to listen to the house when it falls silent.
The kitchen, practical and spacious enough for everyday use, retains that lived-in, comfortable, and authentic feel. It’s a kitchen where there’s no need to put on a show. Here, people cook, chat, and come and go. Just as it should be in a home designed for living, not just for showing off.
The bedrooms feel spacious. They’re bright, have high ceilings, and feature a sense of proportion that’s rarely seen in new construction these days. They’re spaces big enough for a king-size bed, a desk, an armchair—and a whole life. It seems obvious, but these days it’s not.
And then there’s the garden.
A private garden on an urban lot in Girona is no small matter. It’s almost an anomaly.
A spacious outdoor area with shade, mature trees, a dining area, a porch, and a barbecue. A place where you can escape the noise without leaving the city. A place to eat outside in the summer, let the kids play, gather with friends, or simply sit under the trees and do nothing.
Which is also a very sophisticated form of luxury.
The house features modern amenities such as a private elevator, air conditioning, natural gas radiator heating, and a parking space or garage, all while retaining its original character. That is precisely its charm: it doesn't try to look new. It doesn't need to.
This property is for someone looking for something different.
For those who don't want a conventional, white, neutral home with no history.
For anyone who realizes that living in a historic residence in Girona—with a private garden, an elevator, and nearly 400 square meters of floor space—isn’t an opportunity that comes along every week.
And there's another important point.
We are the exclusive agents for this property.
There aren't many houses like that.
In fact, there’s probably no other one quite like it.
