Catalonia, Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

This is a rare opportunity: a 167 m² flat according to the Land Registry (156 m² of living space and 11 m² of communal areas) on the fifth floor of a stately building on Rambla Catalunya, just a short walk from Plaça Catalunya. It is a property steeped in history and character, ready to be renovated and transformed into a bespoke home in one of Barcelona’s finest locations.

The living room is the most special room in the house. It features high ceilings with original mouldings, a fireplace and a large gallery framed by an arch, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Sliding doors connect it to the dining room, creating a spacious and elegant area, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The separate kitchen is generously sized and has enough space to accommodate a table.

A bright entrance hall leads to a long corridor that organises the layout of the flat. The flat has five bedrooms, offering great flexibility: bedrooms for a large family, an office, a library, a study or a guest room. Two fully fitted bathrooms complete the property.

The flat currently requires a complete refurbishment, and therein lies its great appeal: it is a blank canvas on which to create a contemporary home whilst retaining the elements that give it its soul, such as the high ceilings, the mouldings and the original woodwork. It is already fitted with air conditioning and heating.

Living on Rambla Catalunya means having Barcelona at your feet. It is one of the city’s most elegant boulevards, lined with trees and pedestrianised in its central section, brimming with terraces, cafés and shops. Just a stone’s throw away is Passeig de Gràcia with its shops, restaurants and Modernist gems such as Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. From Plaça Catalunya, you can walk down to the Gothic Quarter, the Born or the sea in a matter of minutes, and you have access to Barcelona’s best transport network: the metro, Ferrocarrils, Rodalies and the direct bus to the airport. Here, you can do everything on foot, with all the cultural and leisure options of the city centre right on your doorstep.

An ideal property for anyone looking for a stately flat right in the city centre who wants to design it to their own taste, and also a superb investment opportunity thanks to its location, size and potential for appreciation following renovation.
