Chalet A La Florida — Madrid

In Madrid, having a large plot is a privilege. That it ends where the Monte de El Pardo begins is another matter. This independent villa is located in La Florida, within the Moncloa-Aravaca district, and occupies a plot of 2,888 m² directly linked to one of the great natural spaces of the capital. The property has 819 m² built, seven bedrooms, and eight bathrooms, with a large-scale distribution that clearly differentiates the social, private, and service areas. But it is the garden, the privacy, and its position facing the Monte de El Pardo that ultimately define the home. Because here nature is not a distant reference from a terrace. It starts on the other side of the plot. The home has been designed to take advantage of its position and the direct relationship with the environment. The large windows provide abundant natural light and allow for unobstructed views from much of the rooms. The interiors combine spacious areas with wooden finishes that add warmth, while the distribution clearly differentiates the areas intended for receiving, resting, working, and accommodating service. The architecture thus seeks something especially important in a residence of 819 m²: that the scale does not compromise everyday functionality. The large living room with a fireplace is distributed in two environments and directly connected to a spacious dining room, allowing for different conversation and meeting areas without excessively fragmenting the space. The upper floor houses one of the most interesting features of the distribution. The master suite consists of two independent bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and dressing room. This configuration allows for two complete private spaces within the same master suite, offering an unusual flexibility in a family residence. The upper floor also includes a sitting area made up of two independent rooms, a private office, a full bathroom, and access to a terrace. The 2,888 m² plot allows the exterior to have a considerable presence within the property. The home is surrounded by a well-established garden with a carefully designed landscaping project, a private pool, and a porch facing the green areas. Within the garden appears one of the most unique elements of the property: a viewpoint directly oriented towards the Monte de El Pardo. The property has an elevator, facilitating communication between the different floors. La Florida is one of the traditional residential areas of Moncloa-Aravaca, located between the A-6 and the Monte de El Pardo. Its configuration is dominated by independent single-family homes, large plots, and residential streets, offering a considerably quieter environment than the center of Madrid. The urbanization also has 24-hour security.
