Apartment for sale in La Dreta de L'Eixample, Barcelona city, Barcelona

A recently and completely renovated apartment where original Barcelona character meets a soft contemporary sensibility. The renovation has carefully preserved the home’s original features, including restored Nolla mosaic floors, high ceilings with decorative mouldings, tall French windows, traditional shutters and period woodwork, all brought together through a calm palette of warm neutrals, natural textures and selected design pieces.

The living area is generous, bright and serene, with large windows opening onto the terrace and framing open views over the surrounding historic façades. Although officially registered as a lower floor, the apartment has the light, privacy and sense of height normally associated with a higher level, giving the interiors an unexpectedly open and elevated feel. Newly installed double glazing provides strong acoustic insulation, reinforcing the calm atmosphere inside the home.

With a total built area of 200 m², with 183 m² of usable space, the apartment comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering a comfortable layout for family living or for those looking for additional space in the city. The bedrooms continue the same quiet visual language, with preserved mosaic floors, soft textiles, custom wooden wardrobes and tall windows that bring light and calm into the rooms.

The kitchen has been designed with a restrained contemporary approach, combining warm wooden fronts, stainless steel worktops and integrated high quality Siemens appliances. Clean contemporary finishes, bespoke carpentry and a discreet Daikin ducted air conditioning system have been integrated with care, creating a balanced dialogue between modern comfort and the elegance of classic Eixample architecture.

One of the most special features of the property is its terrace, directly connected to the living area. It offers a peaceful outdoor extension of the home, ideal for morning coffee, relaxed dining or simply enjoying the light and views over the surrounding architecture. The building also offers access to a well maintained rooftop terrace with views towards the sea and the Cathedral of Barcelona, providing an additional outdoor space to enjoy the city.

The building itself forms part of a particularly elegant and heritage rich pocket of Eixample Dreta, close to Palau de la Música, Ausiàs Marc and Passeig de Sant Joan, at the edge of El Born. The immediate surroundings combine a calm residential feeling with walking access to restaurants, cafés, galleries, Passeig de Gràcia, El Born and Ciutadella Park. This micro location feels noticeably quieter and more residential than many would expect from such a central Barcelona setting.

The area is also undergoing a thoughtful improvement process. Ortigosa Street is planned to become pedestrianised in 2027, further enhancing the calmness and quality of the immediate surroundings, while several nearby buildings are being fully renovated. The community has already approved upgrades to the entrance hall, assumed by the developer, and the ground floor commercial unit is being restored under heritage criteria to recover original architectural elements.

Every corner has been approached with attention to detail, from the preserved entrance doors and decorative mouldings to the soft colours, natural materials and editorial styling. The result is a home that feels spacious, personal and sophisticated, with the charm of a classic Barcelona apartment and the comfort of a contemporary renovation. The property also includes a 6 m² separate storage room.

Located close to Plaza Cataluña, the property benefits from one of Barcelona’s most desirable central settings, within walking distance of El Born, Arc de Triomf and the city’s cultural, gastronomic and creative scene.

Another unit is also available in the building: 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 187 m² | 1.370.000 €
