Overlooking the neoclassical rooftop of the Spanish National Library and the National Archaeological Museum, this home's views are enough to take your breath away. You'll find it in stylish Salamanca, nestled on a side street of Calle de Serrano – a wide tree-lined boulevard famed for its string of luxe boutiques. Inside, a classical design aesthetic, elevated by contemporary comforts, echoes the elegance of your surroundings. We especially love the open-plan living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views while ushering in floods of sunlight. Between adventures, curl up on the plush leather sofa with a cup of coffee or gather around the majestic dining table for a home-cooked feast. Here, you're perfectly positioned to explore. You're a ten-minute stroll from Madrid's internationally acclaimed Golden Mile on Calle de Ortega y Gasset and just six minutes away from El Retiro Park on foot. With the closest metro just a five-minute walk from your doorstep, you'll be whizzing into the city centre in twenty minutes flat.
