San Francesc, Ciutat Vella Magnificent mansion close to Plaza de la Virgen in Valencia, refurbished with high quality materials.

Plaza de la Virgen and Calle Caballeros make up the heart of the historic centre of the city of Valencia, a community with great beauty and cultural value that is home to some important historic monuments and the essence of this vibrant city that is bathed by the Mediterranean. In this privileged location you will find this superior building, home to a large mansion measuring more than 600m2 of living space. A unique property that can be purchased with some of the magnificent furniture or the furniture in its entirety, should the future owner desire this.

This exclusive property, which has three entrances from the emblematic building on Calle Navellos, was commissioned in 1880 by the Marquiss of Serdañola. Years later, when the property was put forward for a partial interior refurbishment, by the prestigious architect from Bilbao, Pepe Smith, who was requested to design “a home with an English look, and comfortable at the same time”. This resulted in a unique and emphatic property built with the highest constructive qualities and a chosen decor resulting in a home of extreme comfort.

Divided into two floors plus a lower floor of 120m2 currently intended to be used as a garage, this extraordinary property, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century and recently completely refurbished, boasts the highest quality materials such as Zuber wallpaper from American firm, Brunswick, plus the highest quality fabrics from Gastón and Daniela, as well as exquisite interior decoration that strengthens the feeling of luxury and spaciousness of the bright rooms.

On the first floor, used as a day area, there is a large lounge, decorated with rich tapestries and lamps, as well as a dining room with a large central dining table, which Christie’s Pablo Melendo defines as “the most beautiful dining room in all of Spain”. The second floor has five bedrooms decorated in a classic style, with a sixth bedroom designed in a contemporary style. The master bedroom is comprised of an antique bookcase and two windows, one of which faces the light of the patio and to one of the bedrooms, whilst the other looks into the small entrance corridor. It also has two doors, one for accessing the en-suite bathroom, which boasts a bathtub, toilet and grand shower, and the other door connects to the walk-in wardrobe, which has a floor space of 23m2 and in the centre there is a piece of furniture for keeping accessories. This floor is completed with an attic room with a cosy fireplace, used as a room for reading, chatting and relaxation, and where there is a large library.

The exclusive property also enjoys special architectural details such as high ceilings with original mouldings, exposed wooden beams and large windows that give the rooms lots of light and offer fantastic views of one of the most flavourful quarters of the city. Just a short walk from the property are pleasing traditional businesses and exclusive luxury shops from international brands, exceptional restaurants and the large Mercado Central of Valencia, one of the architectural and gastronomic jewels of the city.
