Fantastic refurbished penthouse in a historic building in El Born with terrace

In the heart of El Born, where cobbled streets whisper centuries of history and art fills the air, stands a historic building that hides a secret on its top floor: a penthouse that blends the soul of authentic Barcelona with the elegance of modern design. Just a few steps from the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar and the Picasso Museum, this residence enjoys one of the city’s most vibrant and desirable locations. Charming boutiques, fine dining restaurants and art galleries coexist with the serenity of medieval alleys. And with the Jaume I metro station (Line 4) just around the corner, the whole city is at your feet. Reaching the third and top floor feels like stepping into another era — but one reimagined for modern living. From the moment you enter, natural light floods the space, highlighting the noble materials and textures that give this penthouse its unique character. Thanks to its corner position and elevated height, the home enjoys sunlight almost all day long. The renovation was designed around a single concept: open the space, let the light flow, and create a rare sense of volume in the heart of El Born. The high Catalan vaulted ceilings pay tribute to Barcelona’s architectural heritage, while the open-plan layout creates a warm, contemporary atmosphere. With 159 sqm according to plans (173 sqm according to property deed), the apartment is laid out with elegance. A spacious entrance hall opens onto a corridor leading to the day area, composed of a living room, dining room, and kitchen that flow seamlessly together. At both ends, three bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, complemented by a large, bright bathroom. The building itself preserves its historic charm: restored handcrafted mosaics, an automatic entrance door leading to an elevator reserved for the upper floors, and a hidden gem — a 400 m² communal rooftop terrace designed as a true urban oasis, with different areas to relax, sunbathe, or admire the rooftops of El Born. More than just an apartment, this penthouse is an experience — an invitation to live the story of Barcelona from above, with light as your constant companion.
