Un Gioiello Architettonico A La Xerea: Carattere Storico Ed Eleganza Contemporanea

2 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · 150 m² built area · 15 m² private terrace · Second floor above the mezzanine · Historic building dating from 1847
Set along one of La Xerea’s charming cobbled streets, just moments from the Turia Gardens, this exceptional 150 m² residence offers a distinctive blend of nineteenth-century architecture, refined contemporary design and understated Mediterranean living.
Originally built in 1847 and comprehensively renovated in 2023, the apartment retains the character of its historic origins through soaring ceilings, exposed structural beams, French doors and handcrafted terracotta flooring. The renovation also strengthened the structure and enhanced insulation, carefully balancing modern comfort with the requirements of a protected historic building.
Beautifully considered living spaces
The bright and generous living and dining area opens onto a private 15 m² terrace, an inviting outdoor retreat in the heart of Valencia’s historic centre. Finished with terracotta tiles, greenery, a marble counter and an outdoor sink, it provides a wonderful setting for leisurely mornings, intimate dinners or relaxed entertaining.
The bespoke kitchen combines exceptional craftsmanship with professional-grade appliances. Custom cabinetry and pantry storage are complemented by Brazilian Kashmir granite worktops and a substantial central island, with appliances by Gaggenau, Miele and Siemens.
A home designed around comfort
The private quarters comprise two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The principal suite features floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and direct access to an elegant, spa-inspired bathroom with a contemporary bathtub, walk-in shower and double granite vanity.
At the centre of the apartment, a dedicated study or reading area features bespoke shelving and custom joinery, offering a versatile space for working from home, enjoying a book or additional storage.
Wide-plank oak flooring sits alongside the original terracotta tiles, creating a thoughtful contrast between natural materials and historic details.
Modern technology and energy efficiency
The renovation included updated plumbing and electrical systems, together with custom-made double-glazed windows and French doors designed to comply with heritage-building regulations.
