Description
This charming Manor House is situated right in the center of La Lonja quarter just a stone throw away from the sea and the Plaza Drassana. Centuries ago, the sea reached La Lonja, and the neighborhood, as it was a fishing district, was inhabited by all professions related to navigation and the fish trade. The shipyards were the buildings where llaüts (typical Mallorcan boats) were built. The origins of this residence date back to this period, when it was part of one of these buildings, the remains of which can be seen in the Gothic arches that still preserve its original structure.
Step into the charm of centuries past with this striking medieval building, steeped in history and brimming with possibilities for transformation. Set on a street-level entrance, the property opens into a reception hall and a stone archway as well as an adjoining room that echoes the grandeur of its time. A staircase to the left sets the stage for exploration.
On the first floor you find a welcoming lobby and a spacious room with soaring ceilings with wooden beams that create this special atmosphere that lovers of the old and ancient appreciate. The raised patio or stage area is a unique feature bathed in natural light from above — ideal as a reading nook, lounge, or conservatory space.
There are rooms with balconies and a kitchen that once operated as a café with a secondary staircase leading to a charming mezzanine. The beautiful library with ceiling beams and original terracotta floors boast a fire place and wall-to-wall shelving.
On the second floor, there are plenty of rooms and spaces of all sizes. Some of the walls can be removed, giving you the freedom to carry out your renovation plans.
One more level up there are more rooms available for re-construction and then of course the icing on the cake; the roof top terrace with views to La Lonja building and the sea which completes this special property.
This architectural gem is a rare opportunity to blend historical soul with contemporary vision. Whether as a grand private residence, an artist retreat, or multi-functional dwelling due to its 560m2 living area — the potential is boundless. You can still find several architectural historic elements that one can combine with modern style perfectly. In any case this extraordinary house is ideal for someone who loves to stay in the center of a mediterranean city and enjoy the vibrant live.
