Set within a classical Almagro building on Paseo de la Castellana, this 560 m² penthouse balances period character with contemporary renovation. Floor-to-ceiling windows and generous balconies frame exceptional views across the avenue from the main living spaces, while original architectural details—including ceiling mouldings and radiators—remain as traces of the building's elegant past. Ceilings reach 3.3 metres throughout, creating an sense of volume and openness. The sleeping quarters face carefully tended interior courtyards, ensuring complete privacy. Mirror installations within these outdoor spaces reflect natural light deep into the bedrooms, amplifying luminosity and creating a rare sense of calm retreat. Each bedroom functions as a suite with its own bathroom, while the main living area unfolds as a sequence of salón, comedor, semi-integrated kitchen and family room—spaces designed around natural light and fluid movement.
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.
