Set on the sixth floor of a classical 1941 building in Retiro, this apartment occupies a corner position with south-facing exposure and direct access to a generous terrace. The building retains the proportions and character of its era—lift access, secure entry with concierge, and accessibility provisions throughout ensure contemporary living standards within a period frame. The layout unfolds across two bedrooms and three bathrooms, with rooms arranged to maximize natural light from the exterior orientation. The terrace extends the living space outward, a rare amenity at this height, offering a private outdoor room overlooking the neighbourhood. The property sits within walking distance of Calle O'Donnell and Alcalá, where galleries, independent retailers and established restaurants define the area's cultural rhythm.
Retiro
Retiro is the district defined by the park. Madrid's 125-hectare Parque del Retiro — with its formal gardens, Crystal Palace, boat pond, and over-100-year-old trees — forms the western anchor of the neighborhood, and the streets that ring it (Calle de Alfonso XII on the west, Calle de Menéndez Pelayo on the east) are among the most coveted addresses in Madrid for buyers who prioritize daily green space over retail proximity. The Prado, the Reina Sofía, and the Jardín Botánico all sit along or adjacent to the park's western edge. This is the calmest of the classical-Madrid districts — residential first, cultural second, commercial a distant third.
