In Almagro, one of Madrid's most prestigious residential neighbourhoods, this sixth-floor apartment occupies a classical building within the distinguished heart of Chamberí. The area, bounded by Santa Engracia, José Abascal, Paseo de la Castellana and Génova, is defined by elegant period architecture and a refined urban character. The 90 m² residence unfolds across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a terrace that extends the living space outward. The building benefits from a lift, easing access to this upper-floor apartment. Natural light and the period proportions of the original structure shape an interior organised around contemporary comfort and the character of its setting.
Almagro
Almagro is the quiet pocket tucked between Chamberí and the Castellana — a handful of blocks where old-money Spanish families, diplomats, and private-office founders have lived for generations. Streets like Calle Fortuny, Calle Zurbano, and Calle Almagro itself are lined with late-19th-century palacetes originally built as single-family residences, mostly subdivided into one or two full-floor apartments per building, with a few still in the hands of the founding families. The density of embassies and consulates per block is the highest in Madrid outside the formal diplomatic strip on Castellana. The housing stock is unusually homogeneous for central Madrid — stone-and-brick façades, 3–4m ceilings, original wrought-iron balustrades — and apartments run large, 180–400 m² being typical.
