Rare historic Mediterranean estate in the ancient core of the Old Town, with an authentic ancient cyclopean wall and a private Mediterranean garden of 901 m2. Some houses have a view. Some have a garden. Some have a good location. This house has something that cannot be added later – its own piece of Old Town history. Embedded in its walls is a remnant of the ancient defensive wall of Pharia, known as the Cyclopean Wall. Monumental stone blocks of the Greek Pharos older than 2400 years extend approximately 11 meters along the house and reach a height of about 2,65 meters. The wall is individually protected immovable cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia. The house has approximately 132 m2 floor plan and about 340 m2 gross area spread over three floors. The central floor is finished and ready for living, while the ground floor, attic and roof await a new vision. Precisely for this reason the property offers the possibility to create a fully personalized residence that will combine contemporary comfort and historic character. In front of the house stretches a private garden of as much as 901 m2. In the historic core of the Old Town such a space is a rarity. The garden is flat, rectangular and south‑facing, and together with the house and terrace creates the feeling of a private Mediterranean estate in the very city centre. On the terrace there is a traditional rainwater well – small but authentic detail that recalls the way of life of past generations. The main square and St. Stephen's Church are about 80 meters away. The sea is less than 150 meters from the house. Yet, as soon as you step onto the property, traffic and the everyday city bustle remain out of reach. The house is located in a pedestrian zone of the historic core, with no car access and no private parking space. This is not a house that tries to look historic. It carries history in its walls.
