If you're looking for all the comforts of a modern and tastefully decorated property in a historic building in a great city, then this is the apartment for you. Located at 658 Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes, in the heart of Barcelona's Quadrat d'Or, there are 11 luxury properties in the Casa Oller building, the work of modernist architect Pau Salvat i Espasa. One of these luxury apartments is now for sale for 1.6 million euros on idealista.
The building was constructed at the end of the 19th century, with a later intervention in 1900, and is notable for its rich ornamentation, with virtuoso plant motifs in wrought iron, coloured stained glass, carved wood, sgraffito and abundant decorated ceramics. In 2019, the real estate sector of the Invesco fund acquired the building to refurbish it and convert it into luxury housing.
These luxury apartments in Barcelona still have the original ceilings with their unique, restored Art Nouveau floral engravings, the original hydraulic mosaic floors of the former Nolla company and beautiful balconies with decorative tiles.
While the living/dining room of the flat faces the street, the bedrooms overlook the interior of the block, bathed in the colours of the stained glass windows of the rear gallery and the balconies of the main façade.
After the recent refurbishment, the building now also has a gym, sauna, spa, storage area and a wonderful outdoor swimming pool on the top floor, making it an iconic building in Barcelona.
