Designer Gothic Quarter Gem with Double Balconies & Luxury Renovation
Beautifully Renovated 1-Bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Historic Barcelona
Step into a beautifully restored 51 m² apartment that blends timeless architectural charm with refined modern design. Located in one of the most atmospheric corners of Barcelona's Old Town, the home sits just steps away from vibrant Plaça Reial, yet tucked into a quiet, picturesque alley that offers both intimacy and an authentic Gothic Quarter feel. At the foot of the building, you'll find one of the area's best bodegas and tapas spots, adding character and life right outside your door.
Inside, the renovation is nothing short of exceptional.
The living room features double balconies overlooking the street, while the bedroom opens onto a private patio balcony—a rare combination of outdoor spaces in the historic centre. The ceiling height immediately creates a sense of volume and elegance, complemented by beautifully preserved frames, ceiling mouldings, and wall mouldings that highlight the building's original character.
The flooring is a standout: white-pigmented herringbone parquet in fine oak, giving the entire space a soft, serene, and high-end aesthetic.
The brand-new kitchen, finished in a warm greige tone, is equipped with fully integrated appliances, treated genuine travertine countertops, and a private wine cooler, perfect for lovers of good design and good food.
The bedroom is a truly special space, distinguished by Catalan vaulted ceilings and access to the quiet patio balcony. It includes a walk-in closet featuring acoustic panels in matte oak and custom-built shelving, hidden behind original-era glazed double doors.
The en-suite bathroom continues the same level of craftsmanship, finished in microcement with brass details, Catalan vaults, a wall-mounted basin mixer, a marble sink, and a shower partition in brass with fluted glass. A built-in washing machine ensures total functionality.
The entrance hall, lined with elegant oak panelling, sets the tone from the moment you step inside.
The entire apartment is newly renovated from top to bottom, including all electricity, water, and plumbing—making it a worry-free home or investment from day one.

About Barrio Gótico
The old town of Barcelona, known as Cuitat Vella, is divided into different areas such as El Born and El Raval, but perhaps the most emblematic district in Cuitat Vella, Barcelona is the Gothic Quarter. However, looking for real estate in this area can be quite tricky especially when you are not familiar with the area, so it is best to work with a team like us, who have a deep understanding and can therefore guide you to make the best decision for you.
The Gothic Quarter, also known as Barrio Gótico in Spanish or Barrí Gòtic in Catalán, is the heart of the city of Barcelona. Stretching from La Rambla to Via Laietana and from the seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, many of the buildings in the Gothic Quarter are from Medieval times with some even dating right back to the Roman times. There are also parts of the old Roman wall that are visible in different areas of the Gothic Quarter.
One may notice the increase in refurbished apartments in the Gothic Quarter, however the supply of these is quite limited due to the extensive process in obtaining a license to renovate. As a consequence of this, the level of pricing has been stable but possibly more so due to this limited supply. Either way, the stock of Gothic quarter real estate for sale can be quite impressive and a great investment. Our advice to buyers is that if you find a property in this area, grab it with both hands!
Owning a home in the Gothic part of Spain opens the doors to a plethora of possibilities. Investors wishing to rent their Gothic quarter properties out will have no problem at all in getting a significant return on their investment. On the other hand, those who wish to use the property themselves, will be able to enjoy all of the benefits this Quarter has to offer including shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance!
