A historic mansion in Somió, Gijón

Descripción

This exclusive historic mansion is located in the select area of Somió, in Gijón and represents the golden age of the Asturian high bourgeoisie and industrial nobility since its construction in 1890. The property is the work of the architect Juan Miguel de la Calzada who, in the last decade of the 19th century, was commissioned to build it for the industrialist Tomás Zarracina Rodríguez (1832-1898), in the neighbourhood of La Redonda. It was later extended under the supervision of the architect Del Busto, when it became the property of the Counts of Real Agrado. Its eclectic bourgeois style, with a neoclassical base and elements of Italian baroque, preserves the charm of the period with a careful design and noble materials. A palatial entrance hall leads to a dining room that can seat up to 30 guests and to various rooms, such as a library, a noble lounge and a sitting room. With ceilings over four metres high, the walls are panelled and the doors are made of Spanish walnut, accentuating the elegance and sophistication of the rooms. Elm and walnut floors in the dining room and oak and ebony in the living room add a touch of distinction and sophistication. Layout: The mansion has eight spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, distributed over the two upper floors. The master bedroom stands out for its size and for including a small sitting room and a dressing room, an added bonus to this unique property. On this floor there are also two living rooms and a billiard room. In the semi-basement, which enjoys good natural light thanks to its windows, there are several service rooms, such as a laundry room, a large ironing room and a staff flat, which includes a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. For greater comfort, the house has a second staircase that connects all the floors, facilitating access to the service area. Outside, this villa enjoys a fantastic garden adorned with sculptures and fountains that create a perfect space to enjoy the outdoors in an elegant and peaceful environment.
