Dwelling in calm

The Salamanca–Lista district is characterized by its wide streets and elegant buildings. It is also distinguished by its stately façades, which make Madrid one of Europe’s most refined capitals in terms of both classical and avant-garde architecture. It is undoubtedly one of the most elegant and prestigious residential areas on the European continent. Created in the mid-19th century by the marquis from whom it takes its name, it has, over the years, become home to some of the city’s most prominent figures and its most prestigious shops, including international designers and Spanish haute couture boutiques. Within just one square kilometer of the so-called Golden Mile, where this magnificent property is located, one finds the world’s leading fashion, interior design, and jewelry brands. An exclusive shopping district often compared to Fifth Avenue in New York or Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

The south-facing orientation becomes one of the property’s greatest assets, providing constant and enveloping natural light throughout the day. The generous and well-balanced daylight accompanies the main living spaces and highlights the spaciousness of the 163 m², creating a warm and serene atmosphere in every room. This orientation encourages a direct and gentle relationship with the outdoors, allowing light to evenly bathe the living areas and reinforcing the visual continuity between the living room and dining area. An orientation conceived not only in terms of efficiency, but as an experience in itself: light, calm, and comfort as essential elements of domestic architecture.

The property’s state of conservation reinforces and enhances its timeless character. The spaces are presented with care and coherence, maintaining a clean architectural reading and allowing the quality of the layout and the generosity of the rooms to be appreciated without interference. The home has successfully preserved a balance between use and permanence, retaining its essence and functionality. The materials, properly maintained, interact with natural light and contribute to a serene and welcoming atmosphere, where each space feels lived-in yet intact. A form of preservation that does not seek ostentation, but continuity: that of a home cared for with discernment, respect, and sensitivity toward its original architecture.

The Salamanca district is the most sought-after area in Madrid due to its extensive offering of luxury retail and its high standard of living, particularly along the so-called Golden Mile, where this property is located. This prime area includes the central stretches of Ortega y Gasset Street and the surrounding streets. The area’s distinctive architecture—home to some of Madrid’s most representative buildings, such as this one—adds further value. Undoubtedly, acquiring a property of this nature, given the very limited supply in the area and the preservation of all original classical elements alongside a superb structural framework, represents a solid real estate asset that is not dependent on fluctuations in the property market.
