Property of the week: a fantastic penthouse in the heart of Barcelona

When people think of a life of luxury in Spain, many people immediatly think of expansive villas on the Costa del Sol, or Majorca. For others however, there is simply no substitute for a city lifestyle. But just because you fancy living in the city, doesn't mean you have to give up easy access to the coast; Barcelona offers both. This week's property is a stunning penthouse apartment located in the exclusive Tres Torres neighbourhood of the city. The quiet, residential feel of the area, with its wide, tree-lined avenues and luxury apartment blocks, obscures the fact that you can be in the bustling historic centre, the parklands outside the city, and even nearby beaches, all in no time at all. 

The apartment itself is a lovely, expansive space, a mix of sleek, modern design, and rustic features that remind you of the amazing historic city you are living in. The elegant interior includes all of the comforts of modern life, with stylish finishes, while the more traditional elements add a cozy, homely touch to the property. There is an abundance of both indoor and outdoor space across its 159m2 of built area, with a total of four bedrooms and three bathrooms on offer.

Entering the apartment you will find a spacious entry hall that leads off in two directions: the "day" living areas and the more private "night" area where the bedrooms are located. The main living room is the first part of the apartment you encounter moving to the left, an expansive space that is absolutely flooded with natural light from the floor to ceiling windows that line all of one side of the room. With comfortable furnishings, lovely oak parquet floors, and a gorgeous rustic coffee table in front of the stone fireplace, the room is a homely, inviting space. There is an office area tucked away to one side, by the entrance to the apartment's stunning modern kitchen, while outside the living room there is a spacious terrace, with excellent views up to the mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped, has mountains of space to use, and even has a lovely dining table tucked between the wall and a supporting column. 

Meanwhile, off to the other side of the apartment is the more private area, containing the bedrooms. There are two large suites, each with their own large balcony, and plenty of indoor space. There is also another pair of slightly smaller bedrooms, without balconies but with large windows to let in plenty of light, as well the apartment's lovely bathrooms, elegantly finished with slate flooring and walls. In addition, the apartment has a separate laundry room (adjoining the kitchen), and a storage area, and comes with a pair of parking spaces in the building's garage.

This is a gorgeous property in a beautiful neighbourhood of Barcelona, an opportunity that is truly not to be missed. This penthouse is currently for sale on idealista for 1,280,000 euros.
