Fully refurbished next to the sea
Located in the Gothic Quarter, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Barcelona, less than 200 meters from the port, we find this magnificent home in a restored royal estate.
The property is very bright with large windows, 2 balconies and a terrace with great privacy and views of the dome of the Basilica de la Merçe. Fully equipped kitchen, and synthetic oak laminated parquet. Three bedrooms, two of them en suite, all with fitted wardrobes, three full bathrooms and one sink. Lobby of the building and rehabilitated common spaces. New elevator and renovated staircase. Common storage room on the ground floor for bicycles.
The original perimeter walls will be chipped until the exposed work is found and they will be painted white to bring more light to the interior of the apartment. In the living and kitchen areas, the wooden beams and original revolts, also painted white, will be exposed. The property, in addition to being illuminated through the facade windows, will also open onto an interior patio that will provide even more light and ventilation to the space.
The Gothic Quarter is the oldest area and where the Roman and Jewish parts have been preserved over the years. We find Gothic buildings, representatives of the heyday of Barcelona and its culture during the Middle Ages. The Roman cardus and decumanus are the historical urbanization axes of the neighbourhood, whose center is the Plaza de Sant Jaume. Its structure remained intact until the 19th century, a period in which great transformations took place in its morphology.
The current building, of unquestionable charm, was built in 1890 and is a clear example of the profound transformation that Barcelona's architecture underwent in the 19th century. Lighter, more dynamic shapes began to be used, with a better structural analysis that allowed more stylized buildings to be made, with more openings and, therefore, with better lighting. New architectural elements appeared such as the pointed arch and the ribbed vault; as well as the use of buttresses and flying buttresses to support the structure of the buildings, which allowed for larger interiors decorated with large windows and balconies.
