Vera tells you about itThis Pedralbes chalet has 420 m² built on an 800 m² plot, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus its own pool and garden. It was built in 2016, so you're not starting with a pending renovation. It's in Les Corts, a neighbourhood with a median income of €46,631 (2023 figures) and a little over 12,400 residents. The sale price is €2,450,000. If you'd like to go into detail on anything -- layout, orientation, whatever it is -- just say the word and we'll carry on.
01The entrance
The moment you arrive you can already picture the routine: you drop your keys at the entrance and head straight out to the covered porch, which links the living room to the pool without a single step in between. Upstairs, from the glazed balcony with the sun loungers, you take in the whole valley at sunset. Downstairs, the outdoor table is waiting for that first dinner where you don't know the neighbours yet, but this house already feels like yours.
02The living room
Picture an ordinary Sunday sunk into the huge sofa, big enough for everyone to fit without fighting over space, with the warm wooden wall wrapping around the TV and that floor-to-ceiling window letting the afternoon light reach every last corner. This is the spot where you'll end up falling asleep watching one film too many, a blanket on top, with absolutely no urge to move until tomorrow.
03The kitchen
In the afternoon the sun comes in low and gilds the whole kitchen for real, no filter, no photo trick -- you can see the light falling across the central island while two wooden stools wait for morning coffee or an evening drink. The hanging lamps give it that magazine-house feel, and it's easy to picture yourself standing there, the garden door open, someone else finishing setting the table.
04The main bedroom
One of the house's 5 bedrooms, the one you'll struggle to leave in the mornings: you wake up with the whole city on the other side of the window, still half-asleep under the padded headboard and the gold chandelier that looks like it came from a boutique hotel. Air conditioning and central heating as standard, so it doesn't matter the time of year -- the only problem will be getting out of that bed.
05The pool and garden
Seen from above, it all makes sense at a glance: a pool with that curved shape you barely see anymore, surrounded by palm trees casting shade exactly where it's needed, right next to the sun loungers. The garden has plenty of room to have breakfast in one corner with the coffee still hot and lunch in another with the whole family, with no one having to perch on the edge or share a chair.
06The bathrooms
A bathroom worth lingering in a little longer: the freestanding, oval, warm-beige tub catches the afternoon light in stripes through the window, tracing shadows over the large-format tiles. A vase with a flowering branch, a recessed black wall tap and a hanging lamp with an exposed bulb complete that boutique-spa feel. Four bathrooms in total, all with the same calm.
07Garage and facilities
Two garage doors in smoked glass and a couple of freshly planted olive trees at the entrance, the first thing you see arriving home after a long day. Inside, plenty of room for the cars and an adjoining storage room where you'll end up keeping the bikes, the toolbox and everything that piles up over the years without ever getting in the way in the rest of the house.
