Born Design Apartment

, Ciutat Vella

A charming apartment that captivates not only with its original features but also with its exceptional location. Situated in the heart of El Born, on a quiet street just steps from the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, the home sits within a fully refurbished building completed only three years ago. The apartment was purchased without the developer’s proposed renovation, allowing the owner to carry out a bespoke, high-quality project instead.

The renovation focused on preserving and enhancing the property’s character: hydraulic tile flooring, hand-restored wooden coffered ceilings, exposed brick walls, original carpentry rebuilt with double glazing, and carefully recovered wooden elements. These historic details are seamlessly integrated into a contemporary lifestyle through updated installations such as ducted air conditioning, a fully custom-made kitchen, and bespoke furniture that respects the essence of the space while adding comfort and functionality.

When entering the apartment, you step directly into the living room, furnished with a generous designer sofa and connected to a balcony overlooking a quiet street. The brand-new kitchen opens smoothly to this area, maintaining a clear and practical layout.

The distribution has been thoughtfully designed. The apartment offers two fully equipped double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The first bedroom, connected to the living room, features an ensuite bathroom. A short corridor leads to the second bedroom and the second bathroom and includes an additional French balcony facing the inner courtyard. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and beds with under-storage to maximise space. The ceilings reach approximately three meters, adding to the open and airy feeling of the home.

High-quality amenities continue throughout: modern bathrooms with clean finishes, a fully fitted kitchen, high-speed internet, and air conditioning with heating. The building includes an elevator.

Despite its central position, the apartment feels exceptionally peaceful thanks to its orientation and high-quality windows, making it ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the vibrancy of the city while having a quiet, cosy retreat to come home to.
