Spacious and bright flat to refurbish with original features in downtown

On the real fourth floor of a classic building on Via Laietana, one of the most iconic avenues in Barcelona’s historic centre, we present this 229 sqm flat in need of renovation, ideal for creating your dream home or as an investment. Given its size, layout and original features, it is rare to find a property like this in the city centre.

The property retains the character of early 20th-century Barcelona architecture: high ceilings with plaster mouldings, wooden arches separating the rooms, period glazed doors, wooden joinery with interior shutters, and original hexagonal terrazzo flooring in one of the rooms. All of this provides an excellent basis for a refurbishment that combines the charm of the past with modern comfort.

You enter the flat through a spacious hall which leads off to a central corridor, ensuring that the day and night areas are clearly separated. The living room faces outwards and has a balcony overlooking Via Laietana. It receives plenty of natural light and offers unobstructed views of some of the avenue’s most stately façades. The large, separate dining room is ideal for family gatherings or for incorporating into a large open-plan living area. The separate kitchen has space for a breakfast nook and an adjoining utility room.

The property has six bedrooms, several of which are double. The master bedroom is very spacious and opens onto a glazed gallery. In addition, there is currently one bathroom and a separate toilet.

The flat is equipped with natural gas radiator heating. The building, designed by the renowned architect Enric Sagnier, has a lift and a communal terrace featuring a distinctive dome. The price includes a storage room on this terrace.

With a floor area of 229 m², the property offers a range of possibilities: a spacious family home, a residence with a study or guest area, or a high-value investment property right in the city centre. The arches, mouldings and original flooring can become the hallmark of a contemporary and elegant interior design.

Via Laietana links the Gothic Quarter and El Born with the Eixample. From here, you can walk to the Cathedral, the Palau de la Música, the Mercat de Santa Caterina, the Port Vell and the Passeig de Gràcia. The Jaume I and Urquinaona metro stations and numerous bus routes are just a short walk away. It is a prestigious, central address, with all amenities within easy reach.

A unique property for those seeking space, history and a prime location in the heart of Barcelona. Contact Bcn Advisors to arrange a viewing.
