Full Description
This exceptional historic residence features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2 living rooms, located in Picasso’s Birthplace House in Plaza de la Merced—the most iconic and historic area of Málaga. A meticulous luxury restoration completed in 2023 preserves its remarkable heritage, including 4.2-metre-high beam ceilings, original 19th-century flooring, and 3-metre-tall wooden doors.
The property combines historical authenticity with modern comfort, featuring central air conditioning and upgraded exterior carpentry with soundproofing for enhanced tranquillity in a vibrant central setting. Its privileged first-line views over Plaza de la Merced and flexible layout allow for configuration as a spacious three-bedroom residence with an independent studio, offering exceptional versatility.
This 164-year-old landmark embodies the cultural soul of Málaga. Picasso himself was born, lived, and worked within these very walls, making this a truly rare opportunity for art and heritage collectors. The property shares the same entrance and staircase once used by the artist, offering an unmatched sense of provenance in the heart of the city.
Elegant tall wooden-framed windows with coloured stained-glass details cast a beautiful play of light across the stately interiors while framing sweeping views of the square. Five French balconies further enhance the façade and living experience.
The interiors retain original 19th-century tiles and soaring ceilings, harmoniously combined with a high-end renovation that respects the building’s history while elevating modern comfort. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature rain-effect showers and generous proportions, while central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Currently operating as an Airbnb, the property also presents strong short-term rental income potential, adding an investment dimension to its cultural and architectural significance.
