On a quiet corner of Almagro, this period building houses a ground-floor residence where classic proportions meet thoughtful contemporary updates. The floor-to-ceiling windows and exterior orientation draw natural light through the home, while the original architectural details remain intact, lending character to each space. The layout unfolds with a central hallway leading to the living and dining areas, defined by high ceilings and a sense of openness. The kitchen, with its integrated appliances, connects seamlessly to a terrace that extends the indoor living outward. The sleeping area includes four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, arranged to offer both privacy and flow. Oak floors and neutral finishes run throughout, reinforcing the home’s understated elegance.
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.
