Light-Filled Penthouse with Private Terrace in El Born

Located in the heart of El Born, this penthouse enjoys one of the city's most vibrant addresses. A labyrinth of charming alleyways, independent boutiques, art galleries, and some of Barcelona’s most beloved cafés and restaurants unfolds just outside the door. The Mediterranean Sea is within easy reach - only a 15-minute stroll brings you to the beach, while the marina and harbour are just 10 minutes away.

Nestled in a beautifully restored turn-of-the-century building, this exceptional penthouse captures the essence of Barcelona’s architectural charm while offering the comfort of a thoughtfully reimagined home. It is a serene retreat above the vibrant energy of the historic city centre.

Designed to embrace natural light throughout the day, the penthouse features high ceilings, original wooden beams, and five sunny balconies that allow the Mediterranean sun to pour into every corner. The open-plan living area is anchored by a generous kitchen island — perfect for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings.

Two spacious en-suite bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet, offer privacy and calm, while the upper floor holds one of the property’s most unique assets: a private-use rooftop terrace. While the rooftop level is shared between three neighbours, this penthouse features its own clearly defined section — visually and physically separated with tasteful screening and a private entrance, ensuring both comfort and discretion. A dedicated guest bathroom on the same level adds further convenience.

The annual property tax (IBI) is approximately €595, and the yearly community fees are around €1,008, paid quarterly (€252 per quarter).

A distinctive feature of this home is the opportunity to create a direct connection between the living room and the terrace above—a staircase can be added upon request, turning the outdoor space into an organic extension of the home.
