Some properties are sold and some are bequeathed. We have the honor of presenting an asset that belongs to the second category: an exceptional Modernist palatial house dated 1900, located on the emblematic San Roque Street, in the heart of Novelda. Crossing its threshold does not mean entering a house; it is the beginning of a journey through time to the peak of an era of artistic splendor. This is not just a real estate transaction; it is an invitation to become the custodian of a work of art and inscribe your own legacy within its walls.
The palatial house is spread over 312 m2 constructed and more than 90 m2 of outdoor spaces, revealing surprises at each step.
The Reception (Ground Floor)
From the entrance hall, one accesses a stately foyer of neo-Mudéjar inspiration that declares the artistic intent of the building. Horseshoe arches, ornamental columns, and a vibrant base of original tiles create a unique atmosphere. In the center, the spectacular elliptical staircase stands as the backbone and soul of the house, rising majestically while bathed in light from a large central skylight. This floor, designed for social living, offers ample space for a grand living room, a gala dining room, and a kitchen, all connected to a private courtyard of nearly 30 m2, an oasis of tranquility and light.
The Noble Floor (First Floor)
Ascending the staircase, we arrive at the private area par excellence. Here are the main rooms, potential elegant bedrooms or private lounges, which maintain the elegance of high ceilings and decorative moldings. The large windows open onto the stone-carved balconies of the facade, linking the interior with the heartbeat of the city. One of the back rooms has access to a private terrace, a perfect corner for relaxation.
Versatile Spaces and Views (Second Floor and Higher)
The second floor offers a blank canvas with versatile rooms, ideal for additional bedrooms, offices, a library, or a game room. The main attraction is its access to a large terrace of 27 m2, the perfect spot to design a chill-out area, a summer dining space, or a solarium. The property is crowned with two additional terraces on the upper floors, designed as private lookout points over the roofs of Novelda.
The Potential: A Canvas for Two Dream Projects
This palatial house serves as the starting point for a high-end renovation. Its “to be renovated” state is not a weakness; rather, it is its greatest strength: the total freedom to create a tailor-made space.
As a Luxury Family Residence: Imagine a home where each family member has their own space, blending historical grandeur with modern comfort.
As an Exclusive Boutique Hotel: It is an unmatched investment opportunity to create the region’s most characterful accommodation. Its layout allows for the creation of 6-8 unique suites.
Architecture, Details, and Location
The building is a catalog of craftsmanship: noble woodwork, exquisite forging, and coffered ceilings that are works of art. Its location in Novelda, part of the “Triangle of Modernism,” situates the property at a cultural epicenter.
