BARNES markets this extraordinary residence located on the prestigious Calle Velázquez, in the heart of Salamanca Castellana.
The property unfolds in a perfectly balanced rectangular layout, designed to provide a seamless transition between the generous reception areas and the private quarters. From the very first step, an elegant entrance hall clad in Palancar limestone and Nero Marquina marble—the only natural stone finishes in the residence—introduces an atmosphere of sobriety and distinction. Two adjoining reception rooms open onto the façade, creating a majestic setting for entertaining, flooded with natural light thanks to a truly unique outlook that frames the Italian Embassy like a living work of art. The formal dining room shares these privileged views, forming a bright and representative social area. A discreet guest powder room completes this space.
The private wing is arranged along a corridor leading to the principal suite, which features a spacious dressing room, a bathroom finished in high-quality Italian porcelain stoneware, brass fittings, and a sitting and work area with a balcony overlooking the gardens. Three additional bedrooms complete this area: two with en-suite bathrooms and a third with a separate bathroom. This zone also incorporates a comfortable family / TV room, conceived as a more informal living space ideal for everyday use, thus creating a residential program of four bedrooms plus an independent family room that enhances versatility and privacy.
The service areas maintain the same level of aesthetic and functional excellence: a contemporary kitchen with a central island, oak and white lacquer cabinetry, porcelain countertops, and high-end appliances, complemented by a breakfast area, an independent laundry room, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with oak shelving and an insulated glass door.
Oak flooring, large-format porcelain wall finishes, bespoke solid chestnut carpentry, a heating and cooling radiant floor system, triple glazing, and full home automation combine to deliver a level of technical comfort and refinement rarely achieved. The residence is delivered fully renovated and brand new, with the possibility for the future owner to personalize certain finishes and details to imprint their own style.
The property occupies the entire second floor of a protected Art Deco building dating from 1932, whose architecture preserves the elegance of its era intact. Access is through a grand entrance hall with original stained glass and a sculptural staircase that foreshadows the property’s singular character. The building offers a parking space with direct access, concierge service during business hours (five days a week), a lift, and advanced security features, blending historic nobility with the conveniences of contemporary living.
Located in the heart of Madrid’s Golden Mile, surrounded by embassies, flagship boutiques, and cultural landmarks, this residence stands out not only for its design and views, but also for its extraordinary rarity. Owning a home with such vistas in a building of this architectural significance is a privilege reserved for very few—a combination of exceptional lifestyle and a sound investment destined to endure over time.
