Fabulous town house for reform with patio and two garages in Mahon, Menorca

For sale. This is a spectacular house located on the corner of two very quiet streets, close to the commercial and historical centre of Mahón. The property was built in 1866 and originally belonged to a master cabinetmaker, who inspired by examples he had seen in Paris, carefully designed all the beautiful marquetry for the house, today this fantastic house has the original ceiling mouldings, as well as the original doors and windows. The property has a built area of 446 m2 distributed over three floors, a brilliant French-style courtyard and two garages. Once upon a time the large vaulted basement would have communicated with other streets in Mahón, today it has the makings of a perfect wine cellar or spa area. The main floor comprises a beautiful hall, an elegant living room with "gold leaf" detailing, an adjoining room that was once the master bedroom, plus many other rooms that were once an office, a sewing room, a sitting room and two bedrooms, there is also a bathroom, dining room with large windows and access to the beautiful patio and a kitchen with the original tiling. From one of the rooms is access via an interior staircase to an open attic space on the first floor and in the dining room there is an antique water cistern with hydraulic tiles and splendid carved wooden doors. Upstairs is a completely independent apartment with a separate entrance and direct access to the courtyard, which has been renovated and does not have as many antique details as the ground floor but it does have spectacular windows that are unique pieces of 19th century modernist design overlooking the courtyard. The layout includes living-dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. This really is a inspirational house filled with natural light, and a medley of traditional architectural features that will transport you back to another era, whilst providing the perfect starting point to reform and include modern day comforts and create a absolutely one off home in beautiful Mahon. Among the features are high ceilings with exposed beams, beautiful interior carpentry, original hydraulic tiles and in the courtyard there is even room for a pool.
