SPECTACULAR MAIN APARTMENT WITH PRIVATE COURTYARD – UNIQUE IN THE HEART OF BARCELONA’S GOTHIC QUARTER In the very heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, on the iconic Portaferrissa street, between La Rambla and Portal de l’Àngel, stands this unique architectural gem from 1851—a truly extraordinary opportunity for those who recognize the value of history, location, and potential. This is a spectacular main apartment of 266 m² built (228 m² usable), with an impressive 41 m² private courtyard—a real rarity in this part of the city. The apartment enjoys dual orientation: street-facing and interior courtyard-facing, offering peace and tranquility right in the center of Barcelona. From the very first moment, it is clear this is no ordinary apartment. High ceilings with original wooden beams, Catalan vaults, authentic hydraulic floors, large windows… every element speaks of its noble origins. The load-bearing walls retain the essence of classical Catalan architecture, providing a solid base for a high-end renovation, respectful of history but adapted to 21st-century standards. Currently, it maintains its original layout with seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two spacious rooms face the street, two have views and access to the magnificent private courtyard, and the rest of the spaces are organized around generous interior courtyards, bringing natural light and cross-ventilation throughout. Additionally, there is a terrace and a balcony, further enhancing the connection with the outdoors. The standout feature is undoubtedly the 41 m² private courtyard: spacious, quiet, and full of possibilities. A space to create an urban garden, a chill-out area, or an intimate outdoor dining spot in the heart of the Gothic Quarter—a rare and highly valued luxury. The building, constructed in 1851, is currently undergoing a full renovation, which will greatly enhance its architectural and commercial value. Planned works include restoring the main and inner facades, improving the courtyards, restoring pitched roofs, and completely refurbishing the rooftops to create one of the most attractive communal rooftops in the neighborhood. Common areas will also be renovated with careful interior design, a new elevator will be installed, and structural and sanitation upgrades will be carried out. The property is sold as-is, requiring general updating, representing an exceptional opportunity to design an exclusive residence, a prestigious office, or a high-level heritage investment in a fully restored historic building. Located near the Cathedral, Portal del Ángel, and Las Ramblas, in one of the most sought-after areas by national and international clients, this property combines all the ingredients for a great investment: premium location, building under renovation, original architectural elements, and an extraordinary private outdoor space. Properties of this size, with a private courtyard in this location, rarely appear on the market.
