OPATIJA
50m2 Apartment with Terrace & Garden – 100m to Beach & Lungomare, in historical Imperial building
ISTRIA – CROATIA
Opatija 1899 – the year on which the house was built, in which this apartment is for sale. A special apartment, in a special place – in a building in the classic “Schönbrunner Yellow”!
In 1899, Opatija was the most sophisticated spa of the Austrian-Hungarian Danube Monarchy of the Habsburgs. After being appointed as the official imperial spa town, the “Austrian Riviera” experienced its golden heyday. The European nobility and Viennese society strolled on the famous, ten-kilometer-long beach promenade Lungomare:
Let’s come from the historical excursion into the present. At a time when Opatija can reconnect with the glory of the old days through a lot of investments of the last 30 years. Today it is again a special place, the Lungomare for strolling, the beautiful parks with the cafes, the magnificent old buildings from the time of the Austrian Monarchy.
The building currently houses 5 parties, all other 4 apartments are occupied by locals. This apartment, which is for sale, is located on the ground floor, and the only one has its own entrance, on the opposite side of the main entrance. This means – with the terrace and the garden in front of it, including the grill and water connection in the garden, you have a completely private area – approx. 25 m2. Enjoy life under the old trees. One thing is at once said: you do not have sea views – you would have – but the park with old trees in front of the house conceals this view. But – it is only a few steps down – past the Hotel Astoria you are on the beach of the Hotel Admiral, in the center. A dream!
The apartment itself consists of a hallway, then two bedrooms, a bathroom / toilet, and a large living room / dining room / kitchen – with a view into the garden and onto the terrace. The apartment is sold almost completely furnished, some private pieces the owners still take with them
The apartment has been completely renovated by the owners in recent years – including electrics, water pipes, floors, etc. With air conditioning and modern radiant heaters for living everything is well equipped!
Important to mention: the house has its own parking space for each party, and also its own basement compartment / storage space of about 6m2. This cannot be bought directly, but is intended by the city of Opatija on public property specifically for the use of the parties of this house. Similarly, the terrace and the garden – divided among the inhabitants of the house – is not to buy because you already sit on the terrace on “public property”.
All in all: a dreamlike quiet location, the old park, the few meters walk to the sea to the beach, in countless cafes – a real one-off in the finest address in Opatija! For people who can and want to afford something special – as an investment for generations.
