Set atop a stately building in the heart of Recoletos, this penthouse occupies the top floor with a west-facing orientation that draws light throughout the day and offers complete visual privacy over the roofscape. The defining feature is a generous 48 m² terrace—a rare outdoor room that captures views across the city's most recognizable roof lines, extending daily life beyond the interior walls. The apartment requires renovation and presents a significant opportunity to conceive an interior tailored to contemporary living. High ceilings and a solid structural foundation support the creation of open, luminous spaces. The building itself maintains an elegant entrance and strong management. A storage room provides additional practicality.
Recoletos sets the price ceiling for residential Madrid. The strip between Retiro park on the east and the Paseo de la Castellana on the west — running from Puerta de Alcalá up to Colón — is where old money, private banking, and international luxury retail have compounded for over a century. Park views on one side, embassy row on the other, a ten-minute walk to the Prado. What you pay for is the address: access to a civic and cultural geography that no other part of Madrid replicates, in classical buildings that cannot be built again.
