Barcelona Mews House, Spain
(Auction Nov 16th)

Even in closeness to gastropubs, first-class restaurants and tapas bars, its position along a one storey pedestrian passage and spacious four floors evoke feelings of peacefulness and solitude. Tranquility begins at first step through a resplendent front garden, while the original period façade and Venetian mosaic floors give way to the simple elegance of Tobia Scarpa modernism inside. Intriguing staircases cut through the architecture’s crisp, geometric lines, flowing into an airy aesthetic that makes each step feel like an adventure. Every floor features three separate areas: a study room, a private living room and a double-height bedroom all harmoniously blending with the other and providing them with a unique personality. Feel inspired by detailed design, gazing poolside at the Spanish sunrise from the rooftop terrace. Blending history with modern luxury, harmony and inspiration await at this lavish location in one of Europe´s most dynamic Mediterranean cities, Barcelona.

Nestled between Montjuic (home of the 1992 Olympics) and the majestic Serra de Collserola Natural Park (22 times larger than New York’s Central Park) sits El Putget i Farró, a tranquil, stylish neighbourhood of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, the second largest district of Barcelona. Discover here the intrigue of culture and history, in the heart of authentic restaurants and picturesque living. With minimal car traffic, the small-town European atmosphere lends itself to experiencing Barcelona unhurried. New and old attractions encapsulate this historic yet modern section of the city, with the awe-inspiring basilica La Sagrada Familia equidistant to experiences like The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (Barcelona´s contemporary art museum). Alongside impeccable architecture lay rolling hills, softening the city landscape with verdant public parks and rejuvenating gardens. Long beaches of golden sand line the coast, inviting visitors to bask in scenic views of blue waters. Escape further into nature via the graceful Collserola mountains, with 8,000 hectares calling to be explored. Cycle, birdwatch, and hike through lush Mediterranean flora overlooking Barcelona and the Balearic Sea. El Putget i Farró is idyllic, calling to anyone looking for the perks of city living, but where peace and serenity are only one step away.
