In Almagro, a neighbourhood of quiet distinction, Génova I occupies a refined early-20th-century building with lift access. The apartment opens with a broad entrance hall, introducing a sequence of spaces where light and proportion take precedence. Natural oak floors extend throughout, unifying the living and dining areas, which flow into a kitchen finished with stone surfaces and integrated appliances. A secondary living space offers flexibility, with direct access to a covered terrace that extends the interior outward. The sleeping area is set apart, with two bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a principal suite with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom in travertine. The home’s material palette is consistent and considered, with careful attention to detail in joinery and finishes.

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.
