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

Situated in one of El Born's most iconic Modernist buildings, this unique property occupies an upper floor of a magnificent listed building dating from 1903, designed by the renowned architect Enric Sagnier. An exceptional property that combines history, architecture and contemporary design in one of Barcelona's most authentic and vibrant neighbourhoods.

With 72 built interior sqm and an L-shaped layout, the flat enjoys a privileged dual aspect and an extraordinary amount of natural light throughout the day, as it's situated on the real fourth floor. Its four balconies and elegant neo-Gothic windows frame unobstructed views over two of the neighbourhood's most iconic squares, allowing you to admire both sunrises and sunsets from the privacy of your home.

The main living area is organised as a spacious, open-plan space combining the living and dining rooms, designed to make the most of the natural light and views. Inspired by the elegance of grand classic yachts, the interior conveys a sense of sophistication, spaciousness and comfort that is hard to find in the city's historic centre. The contemporary-style open-plan Santos kitchen has been fitted with high-end cabinetry and premium appliances, including a Guggenau teppan grill and a SMEG fridge, making it a space that is as functional as it is elegant.

The ceilings, featuring exposed metal beams and a Catalan vault, blend harmoniously with fine materials and contemporary finishes, lending personality and character to every room. The solid wood floors, walls finished in Venetian stucco and prestigious designer furniture (an aluminium bookcase by BD by Oscar Tusquets; a mobile mahogany table on wheels by Philippe Starck) further enhance the property's exclusivity.

The property features two spacious exterior bedrooms with bespoke fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom stands out for its stunning views, ample storage space and its peaceful, light-filled atmosphere. The bathroom, clad in Marquina marble, features a spectacular two-person whirlpool bath and a separate shower, creating a true sanctuary of well-being within the home.

Thanks to its numerous windows and doors opening onto the outside, all rooms benefit from natural cross-ventilation and abundant natural light throughout the day. The property also features independent air conditioning to ensure maximum comfort all year round.

The location is simply exceptional. Situated in the most prestigious part of the Born district, it places you just a short walk from some of Barcelona's most iconic landmarks, such as the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, the Passeig del Born, the Parc de la Ciutadella, the Port Vell, the Born Market and the beaches of Barceloneta. All this is complemented by a wide range of culinary, cultural and shopping options, as well as excellent public transport links.

A truly unique property for those seeking a home with soul, history and its own character in one of Barcelona's most fascinating and sought-after neighbourhoods. A home where Modernist architecture, design and the Mediterranean lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.
