Appartamento A Donostia San Sebastián

The great opportunity in the heart of San Sebastián’s Romantic Area: a blank canvas with a dual future

Imagine walking through the elegant streets of the Romantic Area, just two minutes from the majestic Cathedral of the Good Shepherd and eight from the iconic La Concha promenade. The sea breeze blends with the vibrant pulse of the city’s cultural and commercial life. Here, where everything happens, is this unique home that not only offers space and light but also a possibility few properties allow: to divide and create two independent homes in the very heart of San Sebastián.

With 190 m2 built and 160 m2 usable, this property occupies the entire first floor of a stately building with a renovated facade and zero-level elevator access. It already has permission from the City Council and the homeowners’ association to be split into two homes, making it an ideal investment for small builders, investors, or families looking to adapt the space to their future needs.

Upon entering, history surrounds you: very high ceilings with original moldings, large windows flooding the space with light, and the warm creak of wooden floors that have witnessed generations. The spacious living room, with its elegant northwest-facing bay window, is the social heart of the home, while the kitchen with access to a central patio adds the sought-after functional comfort.

The current layout is as versatile as it is inspiring:
• Five bedrooms spread between the Urbieta street facade and a large inner courtyard, all with balconies or bay windows.
• Two bathrooms with natural ventilation, one with a shower and the other with a bathtub.
• Exterior rooms that receive sunlight for much of the day thanks to their southwest and northwest orientation, a privilege in this area.

From the living room bay window, urban life unfolds at your feet; from the rear balconies, the tranquility of the courtyard invites calm. This duality makes the home ideal both for families seeking space and for those wishing to invest and create two charming apartments.

Additionally, the division work is straightforward due to the natural layout of the spaces, reducing renovation costs and time.

Why this apartment is more than just a home:
• Unbeatable location in the Romantic Area, next to the Cathedral and La Concha Beach.
• Space with history and character, perfect for a renovation that blends classic and modern.
• Investment opportunity thanks to the division permit, ideal for creating two highly demanded homes in a premium area.
• Brightness and spaciousness, with open views and multiple balconies.
• Building with zero-level elevator and newly renovated facade, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

Ideal for those looking to transform a unique space into their dream home or a profitable investment.

This property is not just square meters. It is the beginning of a story, perhaps two, in the beating heart of San Sebastián.
