A fixer-upper to end all fixer-uppers, this townhouse was built in 1886 in the historic centre of Mahón, on Menorca. Called Palacio 1886, it’s arranged around a central staircase that rises through the house — from this point, rooms extend across multiple levels, forming a continuous sequence of spaces. It’s on the market for €1.5M with Fantastic Frank.

Original elements remain throughout, including hydraulic tile floors, coloured glass and timber joinery. Ceiling heights are generous, giving the interiors a consistent sense of scale. An internal patio brings light into the middle of the house, with surrounding rooms opening onto it.

The upper floors lead to two terraces with views towards the Port of Mahón. Below, a large vaulted basement spans the footprint of the building. The house measures 677sqm and includes 19 bedrooms and four bathrooms in all. It requires substantial renovations, though its structure and original features remain largely intact.
