A characterful 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 dating from the 18th century and has undergone various alterations since 1785, spanning the Baroque, Neoclassical and Modernist periods, culminating in a recent major refurbishment that has restored and highlighted the architectural features of all these periods.
The ground floor comprises an open-plan area of 96 m² with large windows and direct access from the street. During the Modernist period, part of the property was converted into a shop, offering the possibility of fully or partially restoring a section of the property to accommodate a commercial venture or professional practice. It features a fully fitted kitchen integrated into the same open-plan space and a fully equipped bathroom.
A metal staircase, which lends the space an industrial feel, leads to the upper floor: a large, open-plan area of 70 m² suitable for a variety of uses. The various windows in the room allow plenty of natural light to flood in. It also has a fully fitted bathroom.
The property retains original features from the various periods in the history of the building to which it belongs, notably the mark left during its Modernist period by the shop that was established in part of the property, which must be maintained as a BCIL. Also worth noting are the ceilings with Catalan vaults and wooden beams, and the original hydraulic mosaic floors, which lend character and soul to every corner.
Particular 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 essence, restoring the original wall paintings throughout the property and various original features.
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.
