BRETON STYLE MANSION BETWEEN SAN SEBASTIAN AND BIARRITZ

Atlantic Realty presents a mansion built in 1926 for D. Luis Rodríguez Gal (Luis de Uranzu) by the renowned architect Luis Vallet Montano. Its style combines English country architecture with elements of French Brittany, resulting in an eclectic design reminiscent of the neo-Gothic style, positioning this building as one of the most singular and unique in the architectural catalogs of the province of Gipuzkoa.

The villa is constructed of exposed stone, cement, and oak beams, featuring gabled roofs and a medieval-style tower. On the south facade, there is a continuous balcony with a wrought-iron railing overlooking a spacious open courtyard, while the west facade features the dining room, which opens onto a terrace bordered by a stone wall.

The building consists of a ground floor of approximately 280 square meters, divided into a majestic entrance hall and two living rooms. One of the living rooms boasts an exposed oak coffered ceiling, while the other has a height of approximately 7 meters. Both living rooms are interconnected; one has access to the dining room, and both retain the original herringbone oak flooring. To the left of the main hall, a corridor leads to a cozy sitting room, a double bedroom, a pantry, and a kitchen that opens onto the south terrace and the dining room.

The first floor, measuring 250 square meters and featuring antique pine flooring, houses a master suite with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom, a double bedroom with access to the balcony, and two additional bedrooms, one of which also has access to the balcony, as well as a full bathroom. A sitting area under a skylight leads to a study with a fireplace, which provides access to the library located on the upper floor of the tower. Above this floor is an attic with Velux windows.

This mansion is situated on a landscaped plot of nearly 2,000 square meters in the center of the city of Irún, just 18 km from San Sebastián, 16 km from Biarritz, 700 meters from the French-Spanish border, and 3 km from San Sebastián airport. Therefore, the property enjoys a privileged location in the province of Gipuzkoa.

The park surrounding this single-family home features century-old trees, including two magnificent plane trees, a magnolia, a cedar, a lime tree, and a diverse array of shrubs that have been recently renewed.

The interior of the building was completely renovated in 2008, including central natural gas heating, new electrical and plumbing systems, as well as updates in paint, wallpaper, refinished flooring, and a modernized kitchen and bathrooms.

In 2021, the entire exterior of the building was fully renovated with the best materials on the market, replacing all wooden windows with new lacquered aluminum systems and thermal safety glass. The north facade features double windows. The roof was completely reconstructed in 2002. The residence is also equipped with interior and perimeter alarm systems, as well as fiber optic connectivity.

In summary, this property possesses a unique character and personality, truly irreplaceable. It has had only two owners in its nearly one hundred-year history and is currently available due to personal circumstances.
