Flat to buy in Madrid, Spain

Lumier presents this exclusive penthouse with a 16-metre private terrace and storage room in a recently restored classic building in the sought-after Recoletos neighbourhood.

Located on the sixth and top floor of Calle Hermosilla, and completely renovated by the prestigious architecture studio of Mónica Diago, this 175-square-meter home with high ceilings, combines historical character with a contemporary look, resulting in a unique, balanced and bright piece.

The social area revolves around a spacious living room with a decorative fireplace, dining room with a balcony overlooking the street and a separate kitchen. The latter, connected to the rest of the house through an elegant iron and glass locksmith door, has been resolved with natural oak furniture and a custom-made stone worktop, as well as Porcelanosa taps.

In the night area, the house has three bedrooms, two of them with en-suite bathrooms, overlooking a very large courtyard with lots of light thanks to its south orientation. The master bedroom stands out for its generous proportions and its private bathroom, with marble floors and a sink designed by the studio itself. The secondary bathrooms incorporate glass tiles and taps again by Porcelanosa, in line with the rest of the house.

This brand new renovation pays meticulous attention to detail: herringbone oak floors, restored original radiators, Marquina black marble mouthpieces, plaster mouldings, or wooden exterior doors that faithfully reproduce the original design. Signature pieces designed expressly for this project have also been incorporated, such as the coffee tables in the living room or the sink in the main bathroom.

A penthouse with terrace in Recoletos is not simply a property: it is a very rare opportunity. And this one, moreover, is an author's piece carefully designed from start to finish.
