Opis:

This outstanding property is located in a registered building from 1936 in one of the most beautiful streets of the Born, Calle Princesa. The area could not be better: in the heart of the old city, close to the new Mercado del Born that will open in August 2013, close to the beautiful Ciutadella Parc and at walking distance from most of the main landmarks of the city, including the Ramblas. Located on the third and last floor (which is actually the fifth) of a building in excellent conditions, the property has no neighbour (only one flat per floor) and is very silent. Refurbished by an architect in 2011, the property has a lot of character and features excellent design style and high quality material. The door opens to an entry hall. On the left there is a very large lounge with American kichen fully equipped with high quality devices. The surface of this area is around 50sqm, with vaulted ceiling, windows, and a small balcony on calle Princesa. In this area there is a bathroom with shower with hydromassage and a laundryroom/storeroom. The remaining portion of the flat (which has a total surface of 93 sqm) is divided into a large double bedroom and a very large and comfortable en-suite bedroom with big wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with jacuzzi. All the rooms have a small balcony on the streets. The property is very bright. Additional features include heating, air conditioning, and double glaze windows. Most of the furniture can stay. Upstairs there is a wonderful 93 sqm terrace which is used only by the owner of this property. The terrace has a view to the roofs of the old city, the towers of the Olympic Port and the mountain. Unique in the area! AREA The Born was the richest part of the old town of Barcelona. It is now one of the neighbourhoods with more charm and life of Barcelona. It offers plenty of landmarks and cultural activities (Museu Picasso, Museu Tèxtil i da€™Indumentà ria, Museu of Chocolate, Palau de la Musica, countless art galleries, the Church of Santa Maria del Mar, one of the Catalan Gothic masterpieces, the Santa Caterina Market, etc.) and many restaurants, cafes, tapas bars, design shops, vintage shops, etc. From this area it is possible to walk to most of the main areas of the city. The Ramblas and the famous Boqueria Market are at 10 minutes walking distance from the flat, Plaza de Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia, with its fashionable boutiques and the wonderful Gaudi buildings, are at walking distance too. It is possible to walk to the beach and to explore the marina with its shopping centre, IMAX cinema, bars and restaurants by the water. And to relax and enjoy some shade during the hot Summer days, the Ciutadella Parc (one of the largest green areas of Barcelona) can be reached in a 3-minute walk. The area offers excellent transport links with several underground stops, an international train station (Estació de Francia), and many bus stops. The shuttle bus from the airport stops at Plaza de Catalunya, at walking distance from the flat.
