· Gràcia, Barcelona210 m² · 3 bed · 2 bath€1,150,000
Vera tells you about itThis duplex penthouse is in Vila de Gràcia, with 210 m² built across two levels, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and was built in 2015, so it carries no pending renovations. The sale price is €1,150,000. Gràcia is a district with a life of its own within Barcelona, and in this neighbourhood the median income was around €28,444 in 2023, over a population of roughly 51,423 people. If you'd like to go into more detail about the layout, the area or anything else, I'm here.
01The terrace
A rattan sofa with striped cushions and a table for dining outside when the heat kicks in -- the glass railing doesn't cut off the view, so the whole city skyline is visible from a single seat: towers, a church spire peeking between the buildings, and the sky changing colour as the afternoon fades. This terrace is the reason a duplex is worth what it's worth.
02The living room (main floor)
Double-height ceilings and a cascade of bulbs hanging from above -- literally, not a figure of speech: twenty-odd golden lamps falling down to sofa height. The glazed staircase rises to the second floor without blocking the light from the picture window, and two sofas -- one grey, one in cognac-coloured leather -- make it clear this space fits more than four people without feeling cramped.
03The dining room
A round table for everyday use, with a lamp that winds across the ceiling like a hand-drawn sketch, and the kitchen just alongside -- you can keep the conversation going while dinner finishes cooking. No separate, isolated dining room here: you eat where you live, with the pear still in the fruit bowl waiting for someone to eat it.
04The bedroom (upper floor)
Right at the top, the main bedroom: walls in warm grey, a reading chair in the corner and a rug with a floral print that breaks up the seriousness of the rest. The window looks out onto the trees, not the street -- after going up and down the stairs a couple of times a day, it's nice to have a room that invites you to sit still for a while, with no rush to head back down.
05The bathroom
A bright, freestanding bathroom, with the oval bathtub catching the afternoon light diagonally across the large-format tiles. A recessed black tap, a hanging lamp with an exposed bulb and a vase with a flowering branch finish off that spa feel that makes you want to linger a little longer than planned, even once the water has gone lukewarm.
