Appartamento A Donostia San Sebastián

There are places you visit once and they remain forever in your memory. The Old Town of San Sebastián is one of them. Every year, thousands of people walk its cobblestone streets, discover its corners, enjoy its cuisine, and dream, even if just for a moment, of what it would be like to wake up every morning in the heart of this city. But very few have the chance to make that dream come true. Today, that opportunity exists.

On the iconic 31 de Agosto street, the only one that survived the 1813 fire and one of the most representative in Donostia, there is a home that is not just looking for a new owner. It seeks someone capable of imagining all it can become. Because some houses come finished and ready to move in, but others, like this one, offer something much more valuable: the possibility to create a home completely tailored to you, while respecting the essence of a place with centuries of history.

Imagine opening the windows in the morning and seeing the porch of the Basilica of Santa María as the bells announce the start of a new day. Leaving home without rush, walking just a few minutes to the port, strolling along the Paseo de La Concha, or stopping for a coffee at one of those terraces where life seems to flow at a different pace. Here, luxury is not measured only in square meters, but in the experience of living where others can only visit.

Its nearly 100 square meters offer space that is increasingly hard to find in the Old Town. Three bedrooms, a living room and a separate dining room with balcony access, a large kitchen with endless possibilities, and a layout that invites you to reinvent each room to suit a modern lifestyle. Its high ceilings, natural light in every room, and cross ventilation make this home a blank canvas on which to design an exclusive residence, without giving up the character and personality that only historic buildings possess.

The building has also evolved over time to offer the comfort we value today: fully renovated entrance, zero-level elevator, communal terrace, and a home free of encumbrances and ready to start a new chapter. All this in one of the most sought-after locations in San Sebastián, where finding a property of this size with an elevator has become a true exception.

Some homes are bought for their layout. Others for their location. Some for their profitability. But occasionally, a property appears that combines something much harder to find: the ability to move you from the very first moment. This is not just a home for sale; it is the opportunity to write a new chapter on a street that has been part of Donostia’s history for over two hundred years. Perhaps the next story written within these walls will be yours.
