Have you ever dreamed of living in a palace? If so, then this week's property of the week was made for you. This modernist-style mansion is hidden in the Colonia de la Prensa y las Artes de Carabanchel, a residential area of Madrid, designed at the beginning of the 20th century that served as a second home in what was then the outskirts of the capital. This property was built in 1945 and was completely refurbished in 2018 while maintaining its Moorish Revival and Art-Deco architecture, original for the area.
The surface area of the plot is around 1,100 m2 and has 2 buildings. A main house with 3 floors and 330 m2, and a small open-plan house which could be used as a studio or guest flat. Some of its architectural elements enjoy heritage protection, such as the façade, the interior staircase and the modernist stained glass windows. Outside, there is a lush garden with fountains and trees over 100 years old.
The use of brick and the decorative use of Arab motifs and ceramics make this unique property stand out from the crowd. The main property is divided into 3 floors. This includes the ground floor, with a large living-dining room, 3 different living rooms, a spacious kitchen and guest bathroom.
On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms, with the possibility of making a third one, and a bathroom. There are also 2 terraces, while the top floor is occupied by the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and 2 terraces. The property is also home to a rooftop terrace, which occupies the whole floor and has wonderful views.
This Madrid palace truly is one of a kind, and being located just a short distance from the centre of Madrid, both the property and the location make this property hard to beat. If you see yourself living like royalty then don't miss out on this wonderful property, now for sale on idealista for 1,395,000 euros.
