Madrid is one of the most popular cities in the world with ex-pats, and for good reason. It is a bustling, modern metropolis, built around a vibrant historic centre. It is full of wide open green spaces that make the city feel vibrant and alive. It is a hub for business, and is well connected, both with transport around the city, and to other parts of the country. And this penthouse apartment in the prestigious Castellana neighbourhood is the perfect property to take advantage of everything that Spain's capital has to offer. Within waking distance of several metro stations, a half dozen parks, multiple museums, and more, in the central Salamanca district of the city, this luxury penthouse is one of the most desireable properties in Madrid.
The home is built over the 7th and 8th floors of the building, neatly dividing the property between the inviting lower floor where you might host guests, and the privacy of the bedrooms upstairs. There is a massive 509m2 of floorspace spread over both floors, plus several private terraces that add another 180m2 to the space that you will have available to you. There are four en-suite bedrooms in the property, as well as an additional bedroom in the included service apartment. The property is south facing, and the large windows and beautiful white interior makes the space feel open and bright all year round.
The entrance to the home on the lower floor leads into an enormous open plan living space that occupies the entire floor, circling around a private patio in the middle. The space is subtly divided into distinct areas; a stylishly furnished living room, a huge kitchen, fully paneled in hardwood, with an accompanying dining area, an office space, and a separate laundry room and ironing room. Off from the main section of the extended living room, through one of several sets of enormous french doors, there is the first of the properties terraces, a stunning space that runs along the south-facing exterior of the property, furnished with simple, cozy furniture that provides plenty of space to sit with your guests in the sun, or enjoy the warm nights of Madrid's summers. The spaces flow together naturally, without hallways or corridors, but also remain noticeably divided, allowing for a degree of separation within the property. The kitchen also has a service door that leads to a staircase to the service apartment on the floor above.
Climbing the main staircase in the entry hall, you will find a second living room, slightly more private for being on the upper floor. The space is smaller, but the modest furnishings and the light coming from the french doors opposite the staircase make it feel much larger. The french doors lead to a second terrace, larger than the first and looping around the upper floor on three sides. This space is alive with greenery, giving a beautiful feeling of tranquility and nature to life on this more private floor of the home. Off the living room are corridors which lead to the three en-suite double bedrooms, and the cavernous master suite, flanked by french doors leading out onto opposite sides of the terrace, filling the room with natural light, and a view of the fabulous greenery when you first wake up in the morning. The property also features underfloor heating, and a home automation system.
This penthouse is one of the most exclusive properties in Madrid, a perfect design, a perfect location, perfect furnishings... Really this is the perfect property to enjoy a luxurious life in the fabulous city of Madrid. It is currently for sale on idealista for 8,000,000 euros.
