9 bedrooms house in Premia de Mar, Barcelona, Spain

"Wow, this property has an amazing history and so much potential. It's like stepping back in time to the lavish days of a boutique hotel while still having access to all the modern amenities in the nearby town of Premià de Dalt. The fact that it still retains its original character with wooden windows and features is truly unique. As an investment opportunity, the house could easily generate income through short-term rentals, taking advantage of its tourism appeal and its proximity to Barcelona. With some renovation, especially on the main floor, I could see it being split into two or three separate apartments, each with its own entrance. As a buying opportunity, I would imagine living here would be a dream. The roof top terraces with sea views are just incredible, and the chance to relax in the private pool with views of the ocean is something I never get tired of. The fact that it's within walking distance of all my daily necessities, and still close enough to the beach, yet a bit removed from city life's hustle and bustle, is perfect. The plus of being close to a thriving town adds to the appeal, being able to enjoy the local vibe, and still having the escape to this peaceful retreat when needed. Of course, the possibilities for living here are endless. A large family could easily spread out across the nine bedrooms, with grandparents having privacy on the second floor, younger ones having space in the first, while still having plenty of common areas to share. For a responsible investor or homeowner, getting more than what you pay for is always a concern. I could also subrent out some of the spaces to generate more income, which for a runner-up home like this one should yield an impressive return. The only possible downsides from my perspective would be the restoration work needed to unlock the property's full potential and the potential for summer traffic noise from the beach. However, the reality is that the towns are normally quiet and pleasantly calm even during peak tourist season, and the quiet charm of the property and the surrounding area seems to far outweigh any issue. In conclusion, this property is a hidden gem that deserves more attention. It's the perfect blend of tranquility in a beautiful location with a unique history and near-instant access to all urban services. I would take it in a heart beat." (Raffae, London Property Expert) "I'm very happy with the details that you provided about this unique property! The potential for both income and personal lifestyle is vast. However, I would recommend a thorough assessment of the current condition, potential renovations, and overall budget needed to unlock its full potential. The price of €1,250,000 seems fair considering all the features, especially since it comes with such a vast lot and garden. It also offers ample space for innovation for both living and income generation. From a real estate perspective, the town of Premià de Dalt and its proximity to Barcelona could make it an ideal location due to its smaller, more relaxed environment compared to the intensity of the city. All of these factors point towards an excellent investment or lifestyle choice. The fact that it's a stone's throw from the sea makes it perfect for nature lovers. The property's close proximity to the town center, despite the quiet, ensures all necessary amenities are readily available. Potential buyers could tackle the restoration in several strategic stages, starting with the main floor for an easy adaptation to Airbnb or a pied-à-terre, then focusing on the first floor for a large family accommodation. The second floor hosts the majority of the sleeping spaces making it functional for extended family living. Lastly, this property's long term appeal in the form of ownership generates significantly more capital appreciation than short-term rentals. The only thing I would want to see changed is to increase natural daylight on the first floor kitchen area and possibly incorporating that into the master bedroom. Assessing the overall condition of the house, considering its age of 88 years old, it could demand $200,000 - €250,000 of renovation capital, depending on the plans chosen. However, after restoration, the current ranking of this property in terms of desirability goes down to 4th place of the nearby properties for its price range. My calculated value lies between the €700,000 - €900,000 given the potential and its competitors, where this house could match but at a lower price due to its unique layout and current state. Overall, the property has heaps of charm, potential for renovation and an excellent location. I believe it is a great opportunity for someone looking for a unique living experience."
