Property description
This beautiful apartment, located in Barcelona, is situated in an impressive regal building which dates back to 1910. It is excellently connected by public transport systems and its central location allows its inhabitants to enjoy all that the city has to offer.It is a third-floor apartment opening up to both sides of the building: on one it overlooks the street and provides plenty of morning sun, and on the other it opens up to a peaceful interior courtyard and fills the space with sunlight at midday and in the afternoon.
It has a total surface area of 130m2.
The interior has been totally reformed combining the building's beautiful original elements, desgined in modernist style, with practical and modern additions. The space is divided between an entrance hall, two bedrooms with wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, balcony overlooking the street, a multiuse space, separate bathroom, a living and dining area with kitchen island, gallery space and a terrace. Classic features such as mosaic floors, interior woodwork and windows and coffered ceiling remained intact.
Nowadays, the apartment needs refurbishment which allows you to participate in the designing and finishing. The pictures shown correspond to a same type and size of apartment already refurbished and sold, located in the same building.
This regal apartment is located in a building traditional for this part of Barcelona, Eixample. Built in 1910, it was a family building in which the business – coffee roaster – was located on the ground floor while the owners were living on the upper levels. Due to building's inconsiderable width of 7 meters, it boasts an apartment per floor. The building consists of 6 floors (ground floor and 5 apartments). The building, due to its age, state of preservation and location, has been catalogued in the ´Patrimonio Arquitectónico del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona´, the special conservation sector of the Ensanche (as a level B) and also as a level C in the ´Conjunto Especial del Ensanche´, and all of this will further secure its preservation and heritage.
The building’s façade with a Noucentiste style has a simply organized design, with continuity in it impressive vertical lines. All the openings are balconies which have been vertically aligned, with a larger balcony surface area on the lower floors, gradually getting smaller as you go up the building. All of these balconies feature their original forged iron railings with beautiful decorative corbels surrounding them. The back façade facing South-West has a direct sun illumination since noon and is composed by old galleries that have been closed over the years.
The organization of the building is determined by supporting walls, which leave each flat with a width of around 7 meters and a length which succeeds 20. This means they have been designed with the main rooms at each end, where the openings are. In terms of its actual construction characteristics, the load bearing walls are all solid brick with the ceilings being supported by wooden beams – this gives the apartments their traditional Catalan vaulted ceilings. These beams have been well preserved and re-treated with a colourless protective varnish, and the other rooms are provided with brand-new plasterboard ceilings. The space has also maintained many of its beautiful mosaic floor tiles.
The reform was undertaken with the intention of keeping the basic interior layout of the apartment the same, leaving the bedrooms nearer to the building's main façade to provide them with morning sun and a large living area and kitchen located in the interior so they can benefit the afternoon light coming from peaceful interior courtyard. The number of bathrooms has been increased to three, leaving two ensuite and one main for the living area. The gallery space has also been opened up, leaving a second balcony for the day time area.
