In La Moraleja, one of Madrid's most established residential communities, this ground-floor townhouse presents a carefully considered approach to contemporary family living. Built to a high standard, the property spans 225 m² across a layout that prioritises both openness and privacy. The ground floor opens into a fluid living and dining sequence, with exterior orientation allowing natural light to move through the spaces throughout the day. The kitchen integrates smoothly into this social area, designed for both daily use and gathering. From here, the home extends outward to private outdoor space, creating a seamless connection between interior and garden.
La moraleja
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
