Distinctive design in The Literary quarter
Description
Set within a building of historic character, this property stands out for the strength of its architecture and for a contemporary intervention that respects and enhances its original proportions.
Ceilings rising to more than 3.5 metres create an exceptional sense of scale and a rare feeling of spaciousness. The continuity between the different areas, the generous proportions of the rooms and the fluid layout reinforce the character of the social spaces and allow them to be enjoyed with great ease.
Natural light is another of the property’s defining features. Three street-facing balconies open from the principal rooms, establishing a direct connection with the surroundings while bringing depth, views and a constant flow of daylight throughout the day.
A home with a strong identity of its own, defined by height, light and proportions that celebrate the original architecture through a contemporary perspective.
Layout:
The social area is arranged around a spacious living room with two street-facing balconies and a bay window. Adjacent to it, and visually connected to the living room, a second space combines a library, home office and dining area, creating a sequence of generous and fluid environments.
Further inside, the open-plan kitchen is illuminated by two large west-facing windows.
The private area is located beyond and comprises two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms.
The entrance hall includes a practical coat cupboard and a guest powder room.
The property occupies the entire first floor of the building and features ceilings over 3.5 metres high, individual gas-fired underfloor heating and ducted air conditioning. White marble flooring, exceptional finishes and a distinctive designer concept lend coherence and character throughout.
A striking feature of the dining area is a large advertising mural signed by Andy Warhol, dating from the 1980s and brought from France, according to information provided by the owner.
The building, constructed in 1880, retains the historic charm of Madrid’s Literary Quarter, and there is the possibility of installing a lift, subject to the relevant community agreements and required authorisations.

5 Stars
This property is located at the gateway to the Las Cortes neighbourhood, in the heart of the Prado–Recoletos axis, surrounded by some of Madrid’s most important museums, the Royal Botanical Garden and the Spanish Parliament, and within easy reach of Plaza de Canalejas. The redevelopment of Canalejas, combining luxury residences and a five-star hotel within the historic fabric of central Madrid, has represented one of the capital’s most significant real estate investments in recent years and has transformed both supply and demand in the surrounding area. As the neighbourhood was once home to many of the great writers of Spain’s Golden Age, it is also known as the Literary Quarter, or Barrio de las Letras. It is sometimes referred to as Huertas, after one of its best-known streets. The prime area of Las Cortes, where this property is located, has a particularly exclusive character thanks to the stately architecture of its buildings. It also lies next to Madrid’s Landscape of Light, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The dual north and west orientation, together with the two street-facing balconies and the bay window, creates a soft, ever-changing natural light throughout the property. Atocha and its high-speed railway station are also within easy reach.
A property that would be difficult to replicate, where the scale of the spaces, ceilings rising to more than 3.5 metres, and the sequence of living room, library and dining area create an exceptional residential experience. Art and bespoke design form an integral part of the home’s identity.
La propiedad se presenta cuidada y lista para entrar, con calidades excepcionales y suelo de mármol blanco. La calefacción por suelo radiante de gas y el aire acondicionado por conductos garantizan confort durante todo el año.
A privileged and peaceful setting within the Literary Quarter, surrounded by culture, independent shops and traditional gastronomy, just a short walk from the Ateneo, Plaza de Santa Ana, the Thyssen Museum, the Palace Hotel and Atocha station.
