House with Courtyard in the Center of Split – Property with Potential
In the very heart of Split, just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Riva promenade, lies this older house with a courtyard – an authentic urban property full of character and historical charm.
The total plot size is 126 m², with the house occupying 70 m² of footprint, while the courtyard extends over 56 m². It is located in a quiet city street, directly next to two large public parking areas – a rarity for such a central location.
The house consists of two completely separate residential units: a ground floor built before 1968 and an added upper floor. Access to the upper floor is provided by external stairs leading from the courtyard.
The ground floor apartment includes three bedrooms, a hallway, kitchen, bathroom, and a separate toilet. A special feature of this unit are the unusually high ceilings (3 meters), rare in modern construction, and oversized windows that bring in abundant natural light – hallmarks of traditional Mediterranean architecture.
The upper-floor apartment offers a kitchen with dining area, living room, two bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet, and an open balcony. From the balcony, external iron stairs lead to a rooftop terrace with a view of the surrounding neighborhood – a space with potential for a comfortable outdoor lounge area.
The courtyard is another valuable aspect of the property. Besides offering privacy within the city core, it includes a larger storage room that can be repurposed as a studio, workshop, or summer kitchen, along with an authentic stone table – a symbol of Mediterranean outdoor living and socializing.
The house requires complete renovation, which provides the opportunity to create modern living spaces within a historic structure.
The process of obtaining the usage permit is currently underway, which will further facilitate the property’s legal and functional development.
Vehicle access is possible, but no private parking is secured. Parking is available on the street or via a residential parking permit in one of the nearby large city lots.
Split, as the center of Dalmatia, offers a perfect balance between urban life and Mediterranean atmosphere. The city is excellently connected: by the A1 highway with the rest of Croatia, by Split Airport (30 minutes away), and by ferry connections to the islands and abroad.
The property’s location, courtyard, traditional construction, and the potential for two independent living units make this a rare and valuable opportunity in the very center of Split.
