BARNES Madrid presents this extraordinary residence on the prestigious Calle Velázquez, in the heart of the Salamanca – Castellana district, occupying the entire second floor of a protected 1932 Art Deco building. A unique home that blends historic architecture with contemporary comfort following a comprehensive renovation carried out with top-tier finishes. It is delivered brand-new and fully furnished, with a curated selection of pieces that enhance its proportions and style, and the possibility of customizing finishes and details.
From the grand entrance hall, featuring original stained-glass windows and a sculptural staircase, one immediately senses the distinctive character and discretion that define the property. The perspective is truly unique: the main rooms frame the Italian Embassy with its imposing façade and gardens, composing a living tableau beyond the large windows. Natural light and a sense of spaciousness flood the entire floor—difficult to replicate even in Madrid’s prime market.
With a balanced rectangular layout, the residence flows seamlessly between generous reception areas and private quarters. A hall clad in Palancar limestone and Nero Marquina marble leads to two adjoining living rooms facing the street and to a formal dining room with the same privileged views. A TV/cinema room offers a more intimate atmosphere. A discreetly located guest powder room completes this area.
The private wing is arranged along a corridor leading to the primary suite, with a bespoke walk-in closet, a bathroom in travertine marble with polished brass fittings, and a sitting/working area with a balcony overlooking the Embassy gardens. Three additional bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, complete a top-level sleeping area.
Service spaces meet the same exacting standards: a contemporary kitchen with central island, cabinetry in oak and white lacquer, porcelain countertops, and high-end appliances; a pantry, separate laundry room, and a climate-controlled wine cellar with oak shelving and an insulated glazed door.
Notable features include: oak flooring, natural stone, fine solid-chestnut carpentry, radiant heating and cooling floors, triple glazing, and full home automation. The building offers a parking space with direct access, concierge service 7 days a week, elevator, and advanced security measures.
Located in the heart of Madrid’s Golden Mile, surrounded by embassies, flagship boutiques, and cultural landmarks, this property stands out for its design, incomparable views, and exceptional scarcity. A unique opportunity to acquire a collector’s residence in Salamanca–Castellana, with high heritage value and long-term investment potential within Madrid’s luxury real estate market.
