Apartment for sale in L'Antiga Esquerra de L'Eixample, Barcelona city, Barcelona

It is the year 1657 and we walk among merchants east of Smithfield. Paul, a young enthusiastic Frenchman, decides to open at the Cloth Fair what would be the first chocolate shop in history. A place of inspiration, a corner of friendship where Londoners gathered to share naval stories of Robert Blake. Paul A Young’s floor with 86 m² reminds us of the same feeling. We begin. With a cup of chocolate in hand, we move through the 30 m² living room. The floor has been completely renovated where the features of modern constructions have marked a minimal style with straight and clean lines. Comfortable. Airy. He invites us to sit down. From the sofa we are overwhelmed by relaxation. We take the opportunity to look through the bay window. It is the courtyard. Spacious, quiet, intimate, it brings a pleasant, tranquil feeling and creates a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. We continue through the kitchen. Open, it blends with the living room in white and gray tones with recessed and pendant lighting reinforcing this modern, functional and discreet look. We raise our eyes from the kitchen island and access the courtyard. It is said that the first customers enjoyed the delicious nectar, hypnotizing them with thoughts, words and aromas. From this courtyard we will experience it in 30 m² of anecdotes to the joy of silence that stands out over the hustle and bustle of Diagonal. In this space we also have water connections for anyone who wants to enjoy gardening. We move on to the bedrooms. Two large doubles with en-suite bathrooms each. The master also features a large walk-in closet. Two unique and connected environments. Paul A Young’s house will make us feel the most tasty cacao roasted at dawn like the delicate, cadenced and mysterious aromatic scent of Barcelona afternoons and of its Diagonal.
