Penthouse for sale in Pedralbes, Barcelona city, Barcelona

Spectacular duplex penthouse of 614m2 built, five terraces of a total of 52m2 and a roof of 256m2, facing southeast and four winds, is located in the historic residential building of Les Escales Park in Pedralbes.

Recognized with the FAD Prize and designed by the Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert, it is a reference in the history of 20th century architecture. It is guarded by an important pine forest and a series of waterfalls, its reinforced concrete structure, stone walls and its controversial design of asymmetrical rectangles, contrasts with typical local elements such as booklet blinds, beam and vault ceilings or the Ocher and green-gray glazed ceramic. The building is five blocks, but only this duplex obeys Sert's original ideas.

This brand new apartment, completely renovated with exquisite respect for its uniqueness, enjoys the best panoramic views of Barcelona. It is spread over two floors of 264m2 and 298m2 respectively, connected by an internal staircase with a balcony balcony that presides over one of the dining rooms. The kitchen, in two rooms, one closed for cooking and the other an independent office, is fully equipped. Likewise, there are four rooms with different possibilities of use, a large multipurpose room and a large library with white Carrara marble shelves.

Currently, it has four en-suite bedrooms, two of them on the fourth floor and the other two on the fifth floor, a sensational master suite with a dressing room. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. And, in addition, there is the possibility of redistributing some of its rooms and converting them into three new bedrooms. Each one has its own bathroom, up to a total of seven and has three Formica toilets that have been faithfully restored. In the same way, different decorative elements have been replaced or maintained such as door handles or spotlights, whose intensity is adjustable in almost all rooms.

The house has large spaces and colossal windows, which facilitates the entry of a lot of natural light and promotes a suggestive amalgam of colors and luminosities, adorned by the games of light and dark caused by its planters and skylights illuminated with LED lights. The roof terrace, converted into a solarium viewing point with swimming pool and changing room area with toilet, provides an environment of relaxation and enjoyment in an exceptional setting. There is the possibility of installing a private elevator for all floors.

Finally, the house has a service room with a bathroom, a laundry area, a technical room for supply control (aerothermal heating, underfloor heating, etc.), four parking spaces and a storage room. There is a pleasant communal walking area and another garden area with a swimming pool, concierge service and night security.
