Granada Guest House

This exceptional 16th-century Moorish townhouse is located in the heart of the historic Albayzín, just a short walk from Plaza Nueva and the iconic Mirador de San Nicolás. Comprising two adjoining houses sold together, the property offers remarkable space, privacy and flexibility, and a combination of historic character and modern comfort, with inviting terraces and patios that offer light, openness and a subtle connection to the surrounding historic landscape. Both houses are to be sold together at €1.3 million. The Main House (480 m2 built on a plot of 245 m2) Originally a traditional corrala, the main house was acquired in the 1990s and subsequently restored and reimagined as a spacious family residence. With 480 m² built over three floors, the house is arranged around a beautiful open-air Moorish patio, as well as another interior patio with a jacuzzi. On the ground floor, arranged all around this central patio, are three large rooms with high ceilings. These spaces currently include a fully equipped kitchen and generous open areas, and offer excellent flexibility. They could be adapted to create additional bedrooms, though they would be particularly well suited as lounges or living rooms, enhancing the sense of openness and flow around the patio. The main house currently includes: 6 generous bedrooms and 6 bathrooms Multiple living rooms and independent kitchen areas A large ground-floor shop or storage area with its own WC Authentic architectural details throughout The upper floors consist in independent apartments, offering excellent flexibility. One of them, considerably larger, was thought for the children and grandchildren of the owners to live in. These spaces could be rented separately, reconfigured, or used as guest or family areas, allowing a high degree of privacy within the house. On the first floor is a roof terrace which has access from one of the apartments, and on the second floor a large terrace space in the shape of a U with Alhambra views, as well as another roof terrace one level up, also with views of the Alhambra. The main house has central heating via gas, something which is a great luxury in this part of the Albayzin. Additionally, there are three chimney exits in the house where fireplaces could be reinstalled. The top floor has air conditioning and heating units in most rooms except the kitchen. The property is sold unfurnished. The Second House (93 m2 built on a plot of 98 m2) With its own independent entrance, the neighbouring property has been recently renovated and provides 93 m² built over two floors. On arrival, a spacious front patio offers room for seating and planting, creating a welcoming outdoor space. Inside, the house includes: An open-plan living and dining room A newly renovated, fully equipped kitchen with pantry and laundry room A ground-floor bathroom with bath and shower A first-floor sitting room or study with air-conditioning Two double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobe A modern family bathroom with walk-in shower The house is fitted with electric radiators, double-glazed windows, and air-conditioning with heat pump. LocationSet in the middle Albayzín, the property enjoys a highly sought-after position, combining tranquillity with immediate access to the historic centre. Bus connections are just two minutes away, and the main city centre is within easy walking distance.
