Stately flat on Passeig Sant Joan

El Passeig Sant Joan, a famous centric promenade in Barcelona, starts at la Travessera de Gracia and goes down until el Arc de Triomf. This promenade has saved its charm and some of the hidden Modernism buildings such as la Casa Macaya designed by Puig i Cadafalch, a famous Catalonian architect.

The street was renovated in 2012 and became more pedestrian with wider and greener pavements and bicycle lanes. The renovation has considerably reduced the car stream, thus making Passeig Sant Joan one of the nicest promenades of the capital of Catalonia.

This flat is ideal for the lovers of Eixample Dret district of Barcelona. The building was constructed in 1936 at Passeig Sant Joan crossing with carrer d’Aragó. The entrance to the building is very elegant; it has saved all the architectural elements of the time of construction. The property needs a full renovation. High ceilings with mouldings are the key elements of the flat. The floor distribution is typical of Eixample constructions of the beginning of the XX century. At the entrance one is welcomed by a wide and very light hallway which divides the flat into the day and night areas.

The day area accommodates 2 wide rooms which could be used as a living and a dining room with entrance to two balconies with views of Passeig Sant Joan. The square-shaped kitchen is very wide which gives the feeling of spaciousness. In front of the kitchen there is a full bathroom to be totally renovated. The same hallway also leads to a room with windows giving it lots of light. The night area accommodates 5 more rooms: 2 very light double bedrooms in the hallway, 2 big double bedrooms with windows facing a quiet interior patio, one of which has a bathroom. The fifth room is a very small quiet room without ventilation which is now being used as a wardrobe, although it could be used in any other way.

It is an impressive large stately flat of 150m2. If you are looking for an apartment of similar characteristics for future renovation, don’t miss an opportunity to view it.

It has a great location regarding types of public city transport system: buses leading to different parts of the city, Metro (L4, L2) and Bicing.
