Apartment for sale in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i La Ribera, Barcelona city, Barcelona

The last historic house with two corner façades and five windows, located in the heart of the pedestrian streets of El Born. Situated in one of Barcelona's most emblematic and vibrant neighbourhoods, this property is an authentic historical gem.

With no neighbours due to its private structure, this property was originally the oldest farmhouse in the city, dating back to 1200, and was later converted into Barcelona’s old post office in the Middle Ages. Considered the last country house to remain within the perimeter of the medieval city, this building has since been divided to provide four separate homes and represents an exceptional piece of Barcelona's architectural heritage.

The apartment, located on the first floor, with completely private living, has no other doors in the property from the street access. It has been fully renovated, combining the building's historical character with a contemporary, elegant high ceilings, windows, and functional design. Its prime corner location, between two quiet pedestrian streets, allows for extraordinary natural light thanks to five large windows that flood the space throughout the day.

The layout has been carefully designed to maximize every square metre, eliminating hallways and creating open, comfortable, and seamlessly connected spaces. The result is a 77 m² apartment that conveys a sense of spaciousness, comfort, and a welcoming, homey feel from the moment we step inside.

The main living room stands out for its brightness and elegant French-style windows opening onto a balcony, from which you can enjoy the authentic and lively atmosphere of the Born district. The apartment also features a separate dining area for four, and a practical workspace, ideal for working from home.

There are two bedrooms: the master bedroom is double with an en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with two single beds and ample storage. Both bathrooms are fully equipped and feature walk-in showers and contemporary finishes.

The modern, fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, stovetop, refrigerator, washing machine, and everything necessary for comfortable and functional living. The apartment also has air conditioning.

Also, due to its privacy the cost of the community fee is low, and the advantage of its sunny location makes it a property to invest in.

Each room has been designed with attention to detail to offer a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere, where high ceilings, natural light, and contemporary materials create a perfect balance between history and modernity. The private entrance also provides an exceptional level of privacy, a rare feature in this area of the historic centre.
