An opportunity for more… The seller will be releasing to the market in the near future an identical property positioned below this property. The buyer could buy the second property as well, if needed. The buyer could connect the two properties through a stairwell to form a beautiful, modern duplex/maisonette in the very historic centre of Gran Canaria. This would make for a truly unique property, as there are no such duplexes/maisonettes in the historic centre. Alternatively, the buyer could keep the two properties separate and either keep both as separate investments or have one for personal use while letting the other one – the strategy of the current seller over the years.
