Gallery Properties presents this impressive duplex penthouse on the third floor of a historic building. This 217m² penthouse combines historic charm with contemporary design. Its outdoor terrace and private swimming pool are particular highlights.
It is arranged over two floors, each with independent access. The daytime area is reached by a key-operated lift and the sleeping area through an armoured door. The daytime area leads into a furnished living and dining room combining contemporary designer pieces: a large sofa, armchairs, coffee table, Samsung television and Marshall radio. The open-plan Bulthaup kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances: an oven, microwave, NEFF dishwasher, wine fridge and small appliances that make the space practical. A laundry area includes a Miele washing machine and dryer, adding functionality without sacrificing style. The dining room opens onto the 40m² terrace, which has a private swimming pool, a dining table beneath a pergola, loungers, natural plants and open views, ideal for hot days. There is also a guest toilet. Designer stairs lead down to the sleeping area, which offers three double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The bedrooms include dressing areas.
Additional features include high ceilings with traditional Catalan vaulting, natural finishes, air conditioning and underfloor heating with an aerothermal system, an armoured door and smart home automation. It is sold fully furnished with a carefully selected collection combining contemporary design and an appreciation of craftsmanship: Nani Marquina rugs and lighting and furniture by brands including Quadratto, Pardo, Luxcambra, Lumes and Lifra.
On the ground floor, the communal areas begin with a heated indoor swimming pool with soothing jets, surrounded by soft lighting and architectural details inspired by ancient Roman baths. You can continue with a sauna, a simple yet essential space for refreshing body and mind: the heat surrounds you, stress melts away and your senses feel revitalised. Here, wellbeing becomes part of your daily routine, with a moment of retreat that feels both natural and enjoyable. Completing this area is the private gym, a carefully designed space with separate areas for cardio, strength and free movement. State-of-the-art machines and a complete set of dumbbells give you the flexibility to train your way. After an intense workout, freshen up in the shower before returning home. With every detail considered, including private changing rooms, exercise becomes an easy and enjoyable part of daily life.
On the rooftop 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 a fully Gothic structure, albeit adapted to modern life, visible in its walls and ornamental details. Just beyond the wooden entrance door is a light-filled inner courtyard. Distinguished figures have passed through the building: Pere Costa gave it its current structure; Josep Verdaguer made the house his main residence; Ricardo Bofill reinvents the space with structural respect and architectural vision, providing a basis for future restorations.
Its location is a short walk from the port of Barcelona, one of the Mediterranean’s most dynamic ports with its exclusive marinas, and within easy reach of Barceloneta beach, surrounded by all kinds of businesses and services.
