Gallery Properties presents this property on the third floor of a historic building. This 170m² apartment combines historic charm with contemporary design. Its standout feature is a 20m² terrace accessed from the apartment by a spiral staircase in the building’s former tower.
The layout separates the daytime and sleeping areas. In the daytime area, a small step from the entrance leads to a living-dining room filled with natural light and furnished with a sofa, contemporary armchairs, a dining table and integrated technology in a warm setting. The fully equipped open kitchen makes the space practical. The sleeping area offers three bedrooms, two doubles and one single, each with an en-suite bathroom. The bedrooms include dressing areas. There is also a guest toilet and a separate utility room fully equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer, overlooking the bright inner courtyard. A private 30m² terrace completes the property, accessed from the apartment by a spiral staircase in the building’s former tower.
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.
