There are houses that are simply well located, and others that form part of a city’s character. This 1920 building, situated in the heart of Figueres just a few minutes’ walk from the train station and the commercial area, is one of those properties with a true identity of its own. Fully renovated in 1990, it served for many years as an English academy and today awaits a new project that will restore it to its full splendour.
Built on a 141 m2 plot, it offers 210 m2 of constructed space distributed over two floors of 105 m2 each, plus a spacious rooftop terrace. It retains original features that provide personality and architectural value, such as high ceilings, hydraulic mosaic floors and a distinctive facade integrated within a protected urban ensemble, ensuring the preservation of its surroundings and historical character.
The ground floor is currently arranged into several generous rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, with access to a courtyard of approximately 35 m2 that even offers the possibility of creating parking access. The first floor also features several spacious rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a covered gallery. The large and sunny rooftop terrace opens the door to multiple possibilities as a private outdoor space, leisure area or future reconfiguration of the property.
The property is equipped with radiator heating, air conditioning with heat pump on the upper floor, mains gas supply and a recently renewed boiler. The building holds a Certificate of Aptitude classified as “APTO” with no deficiencies, valid until 2028, confirming its sound structural condition. It is located on consolidated urban land with a main use of multi-family housing and other compatible uses such as offices, cultural spaces or tourist accommodation. It is a single registered property, free of occupants and with all utilities in order.
Each floor has independent access, allowing for different scenarios: a spacious single-family home in the town centre, two separate dwellings or even a residential project of up to three units in accordance with current urban planning regulations.
This is not a move-in ready home, but a property with soul that requires investment to update it and unlock its full potential. It is an opportunity for those who can look beyond, who appreciate traditional architecture and wish to give new life to a historic building in the heart of Figueres. IW
