Exclusive Designer Penthouse By Architect Ricardo De La Torre

Homes by Pegasus presents this exclusive, designer penthouse on Calle Cava de San Miguel, a truly unique property in the Madrid real estate market. Located in a historic building dating back to 1900 and completely renovated in May 2024 by renowned architect Ricardo de la Torre, this residence transcends the traditional penthouse concept, becoming an architectural masterpiece where history, contemporary design, and a prime location coexist in perfect harmony.

With 234 m² of living space and a 40 m² private terrace, the property is distributed over two floors designed as a seamless spatial experience. The lower floor, approximately 152 m², is presented as a large open-plan space where the kitchen, dining room, and living room flow together without interruption, creating a sense of spaciousness, fluidity, and light rarely found in the historic center. Every element has been carefully designed to enhance the balance between aesthetics and functionality, in a modern design that respects the building’s original character.

The upper floor, measuring 74 m², unfolds beneath original brick vaults, one of the project’s most distinctive features. Far from concealing them, the architect has made them the focal point, lending identity, texture, and a direct dialogue with the building’s history. This space offers a unique atmosphere, where traditional architecture is reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility.

The true gem of this property is its 40 m² private terrace, situated at the highest point of the block and extending over historic slate roofs. This unique space, where the original materials—centuries-old slate beneath your feet and wrought-iron railings—create an experience impossible to replicate in new construction, offers breathtaking views.

From here, the vistas are simply exceptional.

To the south, the Plaza Mayor unfolds in all its grandeur, offering a direct, elevated, and unfiltered perspective of one of the city’s most recognizable icons: its 17th-century layout, granite arcades, cobblestones, and the equestrian statue of Philip III at its very center. It’s not a distant view: it’s Madrid from above, at its finest.

To the north, the rooftops of the historic center create a panorama that extends to the city skyline, where landmarks such as the Edificio España and the Torre de Madrid stand out, alongside bell towers and rooftops that define the capital’s most authentic visual identity.

All in all, this residence represents a unique property, where the custom renovation, the location in the heart of the historic center, and a terrace with direct views of the Plaza Mayor create an unparalleled asset. Ideal both for end users seeking a singular residence and for investors who understand the value of the scarce, the iconic, and the impossible to replicate.

A penthouse where you don’t just experience Madrid... you can contemplate it from its most privileged point.
