At Gallery Properties, we present this property on the first floor of a historic building: a 110m² apartment combining historic charm with contemporary design.
The layout comprises a living-dining room with a fully equipped open-plan Bulthaup kitchen that brings functionality to the space, and two double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom: one with a shower and the other with a bathtub. Both bedrooms include dressing areas. Three balconies complete the property, offering a chance to enjoy the peaceful rhythm of carrer La Mercè in the Gothic Quarter.
Additional features include high ceilings with traditional Catalan vaulting, natural finishes, air conditioning and underfloor heating with an air-source heat-pump system, a reinforced security door and smart home automation. It is sold fully furnished with a carefully selected collection combining contemporary design and craftsmanship: Nani Marquina rugs, lighting and furniture by brands such as Quadratto, Pardo, Luxcambra, Lumes and Lifra.
On the ground floor, residents can enjoy the communal facilities, beginning with a heated indoor swimming pool with relaxing jets, surrounded by soft lighting and architectural details inspired by ancient Roman baths. Continue with a sauna, a simple yet essential space for cleansing body and mind: the warmth surrounds you, stress dissipates and your senses are revitalised. Here, wellbeing becomes part of your daily routine, a moment of retreat that feels both natural and pleasurable. Completing this area is a private gym, carefully designed with separate zones for cardio, strength and free movement. Latest-generation machines and a full set of dumbbells give you the flexibility to train your way. After an intense workout, refresh yourself in the shower before returning home. With every detail considered, including private changing rooms, exercise becomes an easy and enjoyable part of everyday life.
On the roof is a terrace filled with greenery, ideal for relaxing under the Barcelona sun or cooling off in the outdoor showers.
The building dates from 1580, with a completely Gothic structure, although updated for modern times, visible in walls featuring ornamental details. Beyond the wooden entrance door is a light-filled interior courtyard. Distinguished figures have been associated with the building: Pere Costa gave it its present structure; Josep Verdaguer made the house his main residence; Ricardo Bofill reimagines the space with structural respect and architectural vision, providing a foundation for future restorations.
Its location, a short walk from Barcelona's port, one of the Mediterranean's most dynamic with its exclusive marinas, and close to la Barceloneta beach, places it amid all kinds of businesses and services: restaurants, organic shops, gyms, hospitals, schools, shopping centres and green spaces, etc.
Transport connections include numerous bus and metro lines just a few steps from the door.
An excellent opportunity either to live in or to invest in a modern home in one of Barcelona's most dynamic and well-connected areas.
