In the heart of Chamberí, this residence occupies a newly built corner apartment in Almagro, where contemporary design meets the neighbourhood’s enduring charm. The layout begins with an open living and dining area, where large windows invite natural light and connect to a private terrace, extending the interior outward. The kitchen, integrated into the space, is finished with clean lines and modern fittings, maintaining a sense of continuity throughout the home. The sleeping quarters include two bedrooms, with the principal room opening directly onto the terrace, reinforcing the connection to the outside. A single bathroom, finished with neutral tones, serves the property with understated efficiency.
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.
