In Almagro, one of Madrid's most distinguished neighbourhoods, this ground-floor residence sits within a building that honours the classical elegance of Chamberí. The original façade has been preserved, while three new floors rise above, combining architectural respect with contemporary construction. The apartment unfolds with clarity and light. An entrance hall leads to a living room framed by two generous windows, drawing natural light throughout the day. The open-plan kitchen is designed with integrated appliances and bespoke cabinetry, with space adjacent for dining. The bedroom functions as a principal suite, opening directly onto a private east-facing terrace—a rare amenity at ground level that extends the interior outward.
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.
