Penthouse In A Modernist Building With A Terrace Next To Parc De La Ciutadella

Description

On Passeig de Picasso, one of the most attractive areas of the El Born neighbourhood, lies this penthouse with 147 m2 of internal floor space plus various outdoor areas. It is situated on the fifth floor of a Modernist-style building and offers spectacular unobstructed views of the Parc de la Ciutadella, the Sagrada Familia and the mountains.
This property is divided into three main, separate sections. The first section is the main living area, which has been refurbished and covers an approximate area of 90 m2. It comprises a living room opening directly onto a 20 m2 terrace, two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe which, given its size, could also be used as a third bedroom or study.
The second part is the former porter's lodge. To the left of the main dwelling is the area that formerly served as the building's porter's lodge. It measures approximately 40 m2 and requires a complete refurbishment from scratch. As this part is adjacent to the main dwelling, the possibilities for its layout and integration with the 90 m2 that has already been refurbished would need to be explored.
The third part is a terrace facing the Parc de la Ciutadella, measuring approximately 37 m2, situated at a height of around 1.2 metres above the level of the flat. This terrace enjoys spectacular direct views of the Parc de la Ciutadella and is one of the most special features of the property.
Finally, above the flat is the building's communal terrace, the use of which is reserved exclusively for the penthouses. This flat is entitled to approximately half of this upper terrace, specifically the section facing Parc de la Ciutadella. In this upper area, there is also a small, separate studio, which is currently let.
The property requires some updating, offering the new owner the opportunity to plan a layout completely tailored to modern needs and to showcase both its size and its distinctive features. The combination of floor space, outdoor areas, ceiling height and architectural character makes this property an exciting project for those seeking to transform a home with character into a highly attractive residential asset.
Its location in El Born allows you to enjoy a particularly vibrant neighbourhood, surrounded by historic architecture, shops, restaurants, cultural venues and green spaces, with the Parc de la Ciutadella just a short walk away.
