In the heart of Almagro, this 1950s apartment has been thoughtfully restored to balance the character of its classical building with refined contemporary design. Accessed by lift to the first floor, the residence unfolds across 165 square metres, presenting a fluid sequence of living spaces that privilege natural light and material coherence. The main living and dining areas form the social centre of the home, opening onto a terrace that extends the interior outward. The kitchen has been integrated with precision, allowing it to remain discreet while fully serving daily life. Beyond this public realm, the sleeping quarters comprise two generous bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and self-contained comfort.
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.
