A characterful and charming duplex situated in an 18th-century building, in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, opposite the Basilica of La Mercè and just a short walk from the harbour and Barcelona’s iconic Rambla.
The property is listed as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL) due to its historical and architectural significance. The building retains structural features from the 18th century and, since 1785, has undergone various alterations, spanning the Baroque, Neoclassical and Modernist periods, culminating in a recent major refurbishment that restores and highlights the architecture of all these periods.
The ground floor covers an area of 90 m². It comprises two spacious, open-plan rooms, one of which opens onto a pleasant and peaceful 10 m² inner courtyard; it also features a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and a full bathroom.
The upper floor, with a floor area of 81 m², comprises a spacious en-suite bedroom; adjacent to this, via a sliding door, is a multi-purpose room (dressing room, workspace, guest bedroom, etc.), as well as a third bedroom and a second full bathroom. A practical space with a functional kitchen has been fitted out to serve this floor.
The property has two separate entrances: one directly from the street and the other via the building’s main entrance. This arrangement allows for two independent dwellings: one on the ground floor, in a loft-style layout, with two large open-plan rooms, a fitted kitchen and a full bathroom; this dwelling would benefit from a cosy internal courtyard and direct access from the street.
The second flat, located on the upper floor, would be accessed via the building’s main entrance.
The property retains the character and essence of the building’s architectural history, preserving original features such as its stone walls, Catalan vaulted ceilings and wooden beams, terrazzo floors, and restored doors, whilst adapting them to modern-day comforts.
Highlights include the two fantastic terraces and the space fitted out with a fully equipped kitchen on the building’s roof, for the use and enjoyment of all residents.
The refurbishment of the building has allowed for the installation of a lift without compromising the property’s character, whilst restoring the original wall paintings throughout the property and various other original features.
The property is heated and cooled via an aerothermal system.
Situated in a setting where the city’s medieval history blends with Barcelona’s cosmopolitan character. The area offers excellent public transport links and is surrounded by exclusive restaurants, boutiques and cultural venues, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking to live in the historic heart of the city with all modern conveniences.
