Situated on the prestigious Passeig d’Isabel II in the heart of El Born, this exceptional residence offers an outstanding blend of historic elegance and contemporary luxury. Set within a beautifully restored heritage building, the apartment is move-in ready and occupies one of Barcelona’s most desirable addresses. Originally built in 1850, the building is recognised as a Local Cultural Heritage Asset (Bien de Interés Local). It underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2013, followed by a high-end refurbishment in 2026, carefully preserving its architectural character while integrating modern finishes, advanced technology, and contemporary comforts. A highlight of the development is its spectacular communal rooftop terrace, featuring a swimming pool, sun deck, barbecue area, and stylish lounge spaces, all framed by breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Port Vell, Montjuïc, Tibidabo, and Barcelona’s iconic skyline. Residents also enjoy the convenience of a concierge service shared with the neighbouring Isabel II building, CCTV surveillance in the communal areas, and secure digital access throughout the building and individual apartments. Positioned on the third floor, the apartment offers a beautifully designed living space. Its fully exterior orientation allows abundant natural light to flood every room. The spacious living and dining area, complete with a charming fireplace, opens onto a balcony, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. The elegant kitchen combines practicality with refined design, connecting seamlessly to the living area while maintaining its own distinct space and benefiting from a private balcony. The property comprises two generous double bedrooms, each featuring built-in wardrobes and its own private balcony, along with two beautifully appointed bathrooms. Original restored ceilings celebrate the home’s historic character, while premium finishes include warm wooden flooring, ceramic-tiled bathrooms, double-glazed aluminium windows, and an energy-efficient aerothermal climate control system providing both heating and air conditioning. Additional split air-conditioning units and smart electronic locks further enhance comfort, convenience, and security. Located in La Ribera, within Barcelona’s historic Ciutat Vella district, the apartment enjoys a unique setting where centuries of history meet the elegance of broad, tree-lined avenues reminiscent of the Eixample. The neighbourhood is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, exceptional dining scene, boutique shopping, art galleries, and cultural landmarks. Port Vell, Barceloneta Beach, Passeig de Colom, Maremagnum, and the Gothic Quarter are all just a short stroll away. Combining a prestigious waterfront location, outstanding communal facilities, rich architectural heritage, and a meticulously executed refurbishment, this remarkable residence presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home in one of Barcelona’s most coveted neighbourhoods.
