Gallery Properties presents this property on the second floor of a historic building. This 170m² apartment combines historic charm with contemporary design.
The daytime area leads, across a change in level, to the living-dining room with a sofa, contemporary armchairs, dining table, and sound and technology features (Samsung television and Marshall radio). The open Bulthaup kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances: oven, microwave, NEFF dishwasher, wine cooler and the latest small appliances, making the space practical. A separate laundry area includes a Miele washing machine and tumble dryer, providing functionality without sacrificing style. The sleeping area has three bedrooms, two doubles and one single, each with an en-suite bathroom. The bedrooms include dressing areas. There is also a guest toilet. Two balconies complete the property.
Additional features include high ceilings with traditional Catalan vaulting, natural finishes, air conditioning and underfloor heating with an aerothermal system, a reinforced security door and smart home automation. It is sold fully furnished with carefully selected pieces combining contemporary design and craftsmanship: Nani Marquina rugs, and lighting and furniture by brands such as Quadratto, Pardo, Luxcambra, Lumes and Lifra.
The communal areas are on the ground floor. First is a heated indoor pool with relaxing jets, surrounded by subdued lighting and architectural details inspired by ancient Roman baths. Next is a sauna, a simple but essential space to purify body and mind: the heat surrounds you, stress fades and your senses are revitalised. Wellbeing becomes part of your daily routine, offering a retreat that feels both natural and enjoyable. A private gym completes this area, carefully designed with separate spaces for cardio, strength and free movement. State-of-the-art equipment and a complete 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, enjoyable part of daily life.
On the roof is a terrace filled with greenery, ideal for relaxing in the Barcelona sunshine or cooling off in the outdoor showers.
The building dates from 1580 and has an entirely Gothic structure, updated for modern times, visible in its ornamented walls. Immediately beyond the wooden entrance door is a light-filled inner courtyard. Notable figures have been associated with the building: Pere Costa gave it its current structure; Josep Verdaguer made the house his principal residence; Ricardo Bofill reimagines the space with respect for its structure and an architectural vision that provides a basis for future restoration.
Its location is just steps from the Port of Barcelona, one of the Mediterranean’s most dynamic ports with exclusive marinas, and a short distance from Barceloneta beach. It is surrounded by all kinds of businesses and services: restaurants, organic shops, gyms, hospitals, schools, shopping centres and green spaces, among others.
Numerous bus and metro lines are just steps from the door.
An excellent opportunity either to live or invest in one of Barcelona’s most dynamic, well-connected areas.
