Within the leafy enclave of La Moraleja, this ground-floor residence occupies a quiet position in El Soto. Natural light fills the home, moving from the entrance through the open living and dining areas toward the private terrace, which extends the interior outward. The kitchen, positioned for effortless connection to the living spaces, is finished with clean lines and integrated storage. Three bedrooms are arranged for privacy, each with its own bathroom. Oak flooring and neutral finishes create a calm, continuous material language throughout.
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
