IMPRESSIVE HOUSE IN VALLVIDRERA WITH GAUDÍ TOUCHES AND PRIVATE TURRET WITH VIEWS OVER BARCELONA
Beautiful house with views over the whole of Barcelona, ideal for its layout and very well preserved with its original floor tiles, combined with antique elements.
The house consists of 235 m2 divided into 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and private parking, finishings (double-glazed windows, electric blinds…). All looking onto the exterior apart from one bathroom.
This exclusive house with spectacular views is situated a few metres from the entrance of a theme park on a private road.
It is a house full of history and glamour in which the original elements from its year of construction have been conserved. The house has a great layout, with everything on floor apart from the the master suite which is situated on the second floor.
On the ground floor we find the living room, with impressive large modernist windows that have been double glazed for better comfort, a Gaudí fireplace made out of ivory and mouldings in the walls and ceiling. The living room is a fine example of the house’s elegance. On the same floor we find 2 bedrooms which share a bathroom as well as a suite.
On the second floor we find the master suite with a bathroom and dressing room. In the highest part of the house there is a viewpoint from which we can see the beaches of Maresme to the Garraf and the Montserrat mountains and monastery. The beautiful garden is split into four parts; “The Queen’s Lookout” is the last part of the garden and owes its name to the Queen Violante de Bar, Juan I The Hunter’s wife. Supposedly, during the queen’s summer visits, she would retreat from the rush of the city, meditating and writing in this part of the house.
Gaudí had originally planned the garden but due to disagreements with with property didn’t get to finish it. You can now certainly appreciate the remodelling of said lookout, specifically in the original tiles that before, paved the Paseo de Gracia. In the garden there is a plaque to commemorate a work delivered by Richard Strauss in 1924 that was inspired by Tibidabo.
The beautiful pool and elegant porch/dining area complete the garden. By the entrance to the house there is designated private parking.
