In the heart of Salamanca, metres from Serrano and within reach of Retiro Park, this apartment occupies the first floor of a former palace—a setting that anchors the residence within Madrid's architectural heritage. The building retains its period character, accessed via a lift and solid wood staircase without barriers. The sequence unfolds from an entry hall into a layered living space: a principal salon with fireplace and dual street-facing balconies, followed by a dedicated office with custom cabinetry. The hall extends toward a substantial dining room, proportioned for formal gatherings. From this social core, a corridor leads to the private quarters—three bedrooms and four bathrooms distributed across the remainder of the floor. The apartment's south-facing exterior orientation brings consistent natural light throughout the day, while the terrace provides direct engagement with the street façade and neighbourhood life.
