Renovated apartment with balconies in El Born

This renovated apartment in El Born, Barcelona, is marked as sold in our catalogue. The bedroom balconies and private-use interior patio offer two different connections to the outdoors within a home set in the city's historic urban fabric.

Street-facing bedrooms are combined with living accommodation towards the interior of the building. An elongated entrance hall organises circulation and separates the sleeping areas from the living and dining room, independent kitchen and bathroom.

The commercial particulars record 85 m² built and 75 m² usable area, two double bedrooms and one bathroom. The apartment is on the first floor of a building with a lift and a recorded construction year of 1900. The documentation also lists one parking space.

El Born and everyday life in Barcelona

El Born brings together neighbourhood shops, workshops, cultural venues, restaurants and informal meeting places. Its proximity to the Gothic Quarter and the area around Ciutadella Park opens up different parts of Barcelona's historic centre for everyday enjoyment. The apartment faces a street with a pedestrian scale and commercial activity, where trees and balconies contribute to the streetscape. Together, these elements give the setting the characteristic urban identity of this neighbourhood.

• Location in El Born within Barcelona's historic centre.
• Neighbourhood shops, workshops and cultural activity nearby.
• Close to the Gothic Quarter and Ciutadella Park.

Balconies and a private-use interior patio

Both bedrooms have large openings leading to their street-facing balconies. These provide ventilation and a relationship with the surrounding neighbourhood, within the proportions typical of an older building. On the opposite side of the home, the kitchen opens onto an interior patio reserved for private use. Its practical role includes access to the laundry area, giving it an ancillary role distinct from the balconies serving the bedrooms.

• Street-facing balconies serving both bedrooms.
• Private-use interior patio connected to the kitchen.
• Ancillary laundry space accessed from the patio.

A layout separating rest and shared living

The hallway provides access to the bathroom and the different rooms. One double bedroom incorporates a broad fitted wardrobe and a desk, while the other has a separate dressing area. Connections between the living and dining room, corridor and kitchen create alternative routes through the apartment. The bathroom contains a generous shower area separated from the washbasin and toilet, making its arrangement clear without suggesting any additional bathroom.
