Wonderful and peaceful renovated flat with original features in El Born

Located on one of the most iconic and characterful streets in Barcelona’s historic centre, in El Born, is this extraordinary flat, renovated with great aesthetic sensitivity. With 104 built interior sqm, it occupies the real second floor of a historic building dating from 1900 and represents a perfect blend of the charm of the original architecture and the comfort of a carefully executed contemporary renovation. It’s just 200 metres from Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona’s largest green space, a place where you can get back to nature right in the heart of the city.

From the very first moment, the property captivates with the authenticity of its restored and enhanced original features. The high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, the warm natural wooden floors and the impressive stone walls, which form part of Barcelona’s ancient city walls, lend a unique character and an extraordinary heritage value that is hard to find on the current market. All this is complemented by double-glazed wooden joinery, ensuring excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

The layout has been designed to offer spaciousness, functionality and comfort. The living area centres around a spacious living-dining room with an open-plan kitchen, a bright and welcoming space designed for enjoying both everyday life and gatherings with family and friends. With two balconies, it enjoys a privileged aspect overlooking a pleasant square, providing unobstructed views, abundant natural light and a tranquillity rarely found in the historic city centre.

The sleeping area comprises three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, offering privacy and comfort. Furthermore, the property features a separate dressing room, a guest toilet and spaces that have been perfectly utilised to maximise functionality.

The flat is equipped with heating by gas radiators and air conditioning by split. It’s sold furnished.

The building does not currently have a lift, but a project has been approved and around €40,000–50,000 has been raised through a monthly levy of €50 plus a one-off levy of €150 in June and December; the lift is due to be installed in a few years’ time (date to be confirmed).

The area surrounding this flat boasts restaurants, shops, markets, cultural venues and excellent public transport links, allowing you to fully enjoy the Barcelona lifestyle. Furthermore, the beach and the seafront promenade are just a few minutes’ walk away, adding further appeal to this exclusive property.

This is a unique property for those seeking the perfect blend of history, design, authenticity and quality of life in one of Barcelona’s most charming and characterful neighbourhoods. Please do not hesitate to contact Bcn Advisors to arrange a viewing.
