Not just a renovated apartment in Gros, but a truly turn-key home in one of the neighborhood’s liveliest spots—just a 5-minute stroll to the sands of Zurriola Beach and under 10 minutes walking to the City Center.
The property is situated on an exterior first floor which, thanks to the building's mezzanine, effectively offers the height, peacefulness, and perspective of a second floor. Built with a solid concrete structure in 1934, the building is lovingly maintained by its residents: the facade was completely renewed three years ago, with no upcoming assessments or extra fees on the horizon. The elevator takes you comfortably right to your floor (with just a single, low step at the main entrance).
Inside, the home was completely renovated in 2022 with real family living in mind: creating spacious, comfortable, and light-filled rooms. Overlooking an open square with a northeast orientation, mornings are filled with gentle sunlight and an open, uncluttered view that is a true breath of fresh air in the city. The warmth of light wood floors, industrial-style glazed iron sliding doors, and custom-built cabinetry make the home feel welcoming from the very first moment.

Purchase Taxes (Property Transfer Tax / ITP in Gipuzkoa)
For complete transparency when planning your purchase, the Basque Property Transfer Tax (ITP) is levied based on how you intend to use the property:

- 4% (Standard Rate): If you are purchasing it as a second home for getaways or as an investment for rental income.
- 6% (Large Property Holders): Applicable exclusively to buyers who already own more than 5 residential properties.
