TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, AND A PRIVILEGED SETTING IN VITORIA

At the beginning of Paseo de Fray Francisco, you’ll find this house with its beautiful façade, known to the people of Vitoria as the “House of Headaches.” This name comes from the unique human-shaped columns and their posture, as they appear to be supporting the stone balconies of the main façade.

We reach it after a long pedestrian walk, flanked by horse chestnut trees and surrounded by imposing buildings such as the Zulueta Palace, Casa Zuloaga, Ajuria-Enea Palace, and Villa Sofía.

It was built in 1901 by the architect Julio Saracibar, and interestingly, the poet Ernestina de Champourcin was born in this house.

The house has a constructed area of ​​349.9 m² and comprises two floors with spacious and beautiful rooms.

One of the jewels of the house is its private gardens, covering 258 m², which possess the charm of an early 20th-century building, with mature trees (including a descendant of the Tree of Guernica, a symbol of Basque liberties), plants, and beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy with family and friends.

The first floor is the main floor of the house, with high ceilings and large windows that bathe every corner in natural light. All the spaces are spacious yet welcoming. It is a house that captivates both inside and out. It is distributed across numerous rooms, storage areas, and spaces for relaxation and leisure.

We enter the house through a beautiful entrance hall that leads to the impressive dining room, which can accommodate up to 20 guests, the living room/library, and the grand salon, notable for its size, views, and access to the magnificent private garden. There is also a charming guest bathroom with a breakfast nook, an office, and a lovely hallway/library that helps connect all these rooms.

At the end of the hallway, we find the sleeping area, with a large walk-in closet, two spacious bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The garden views from the bedrooms make it a perfect place to relax and sleep peacefully.

Next to the sleeping area is the staircase leading to the lower level of the house. Here we find the large kitchen with a separate laundry and ironing area, a guest toilet, and a pantry. This is another of the house’s access points to the garden. On either side of the kitchen are the two spacious bedrooms and two separate full bathrooms on this floor.

Its views and southeast orientation are another of its strengths, overlooking the main promenades of the area on both sides: Paseo de Fray Francisco and the well-known Paseo de la Senda.

Heating and hot water are provided by natural gas throughout the house.

Parking is never a concern, as it has a private garage with pedestrian access from the garden.

In short, a perfect and privileged location, just steps from the city center and surrounded by green spaces. It is also close to the city’s main sports, educational, commercial, and leisure facilities.

Owning a piece of history is possible in this beautiful house that can now be yours. This impressive property, which could be your future home, is well worth a visit!
