Description
Lovran, first row to the sea in a representative Austro-Hungarian villa positioned literally on the seafront, a 120.26 m² apartment is for sale. This is an exceptionally rare property on the market, ideal for connoisseurs of historic villas, classical elegance and the authentic atmosphere of the old Opatija Riviera.
The villa boasts an exceptionally rich history: the first building on the plot was constructed around 1650, while its current, recognisable classical appearance dates from 1828, when it was extended and modernised in the typical Austro-Hungarian style. The historical layers are still clearly visible today - especially in the living room, where Latin fragments are carved into the wall and the space is arranged on two levels, giving the interior a refined sense of movement and a distinctive character.
The apartment was thoroughly renovated in the late 1980s. At that time, underfloor heating was installed and an air gap wall was built between the northern façade and the terrain, providing additional thermal and hydro insulation. The current interior faithfully reflects the aesthetic of that period and represents a high-quality foundation for a new, contemporary interpretation of luxury - an ideal “blank canvas” for future owners who wish to combine historic charm with modern high-living standards.
A special feature of this property is the Mediterranean garden available for use by the residents of the villa, from which private steps lead directly to the sea and a small pier. Such a combination of privacy, historic ambience and immediate contact with the sea is extremely rare, even in the Lovran area.
To highlight the adaptation potential, the listing includes visualisations of a possible interior design. The renders are not photographs of the current condition, but an inspirational depiction of the property’s possible appearance after renovation.
