Penthouse in a Modernist building with a terrace next to Parc de la Ciutadella

On Passeig de Picasso, one of the most attractive areas of the El Born neighbourhood, lies this penthouse with 131 sqm of internal floor space according to the Land Registry plus 208 sqm in terraces. It’s situated on the fifth floor of a Modernist-style building and offers spectacular unobstructed views of the Parc de la Ciutadella, the Sagrada Familia and the mountains.

This property is divided into three main, separate sections. The first section is the main living area, which has been refurbished and covers an approximate area of 90 m². It comprises a living room opening directly onto a 20 m² terrace, two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe which, given its size, could also be used as a third bedroom or study.

The second part is the former caretaker’s apartment. To the left of the main residence is the area that formerly served as the building’s caretaker’s quarters. It measures approximately 40 m² and requires a complete renovation from scratch. This area is adjacent to the main residence, so the possibilities for its layout and integration with the 90 m² that have already been renovated would need to be assessed.

The third part, located in the area to be renovated, is a 38 m² terrace overlooking Parc de la Ciutadella, situated approximately 1.2 metres above the level of the residence. This terrace enjoys spectacular direct views of Parc de la Ciutadella, making it one of the most exceptional features of the property.

Finally, above the apartment is the building’s communal rooftop terrace, the use of which is assigned exclusively to the penthouses. This apartment has 150 m² of this rooftop solarium, specifically the section facing Parc de la Ciutadella. This upper area also includes a 13 sqm independent studio, which is currently rented.

The property requires some updating, offering the new owner the opportunity to plan a layout completely tailored to modern needs and to showcase both its size and its distinctive features. The combination of floor space, outdoor areas, ceiling height and architectural character makes this property an exciting project for those seeking to transform a home with character into a highly attractive residential asset.

Its location in El Born allows you to enjoy a particularly vibrant neighbourhood, surrounded by historic architecture, shops, restaurants, cultural venues and green spaces, with the Parc de la Ciutadella just a short walk away.
