This architectural gem exudes history from every corner. It’s located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, in a building in the old Jewish quarter dating back to the 14th century, which was the residence of Rabbi Xemuel ha-Sardí, from whom it takes its name, “Casa Xemuel”. The building was completely renovated in 2016 with luxury properties and has Roman ruins in its basement, visible from this property.
This astonishing property is on the ground floor and has 292 built interior sqm, including 32 sqm in the basement, and two patios of 19 and 18 sqm. The living-dining room is a delight for the senses and the ideal place for your everyday life and for entertaining guests on special occasions. It has a surround sound system and a projection screen for enjoying home cinema.
The open kitchen has a central island and is fully equipped with high-end household appliances. Its appeal lies in the fact that, if we look down, we can see, through a transparent glass panel, authentic archaeological remains from the Roman era, a privilege available only to a few that connects you directly with the history of Barcelona.
The night area has two double bedrooms with access to one of the patios and a large open studio that can be used as a third bedroom or as a multipurpose room, office, library, etc., which has access to the other patio, located in the centre of the property. There are also 2 full bathrooms. Finally, the property has a basement that is currently used as a wine cellar, an ideal space for your wine collection or as a versatile storage area. There’s also a bathroom on this floor.
The property can be accessed from the street or from the community. It retains the charm of its original features, such as high ceilings with wooden beams that give a great feeling of space and light. It also features top-quality materials and finishings such as KNX home automation, Kährs natural oak parquet flooring, a Santos kitchen, Carré built-in wardrobes with integrated lighting in the bedrooms, and air conditioning and heating via a sustainable, energy-efficient aerothermal system.
The building has a fantastic communal terrace equipped with a barbecue, chairs, sofa and seating area, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. It also has a lift, polished white marble floors in the lobby, wall coverings with traditional Catalan ceramic tiles made to measure, ceilings with original mouldings and original wrought iron railings recovered from the staircase, among many other details.
This property is just a few steps from Barcelona Cathedral and a 10-minute walk from Plaza Catalunya and Port Vell. The area has all the charm of the narrow streets and squares of the city’s historic centre, numerous services and shops, restaurants and excellent public transport links.
