Large Luxury Apartment on Paseo de Recoletos (Madrid)

A prestigious residence in one of Madrid’s most sought-after addresses

Some addresses function as a hallmark of identity. Paseo de Recoletos is one of them: a central boulevard that connects Plaza de Cibeles with Plaza de Colón and forms part of the Prado–Recoletos–Castellana axis, one of the city’s most emblematic urban routes, along with the Salamanca district.

In this setting, on a fourth floor exterior with elevator, there is a home of 416 m² built (approx. 354 m² usable), designed for those who seek real scale, continuous light and a timeless aesthetic without sacrificing technological comfort.

The house stands out for its status as an urban viewpoint: twelve balconies in total—five facing the Paseo de Recoletos and seven facing Calle Almirante—which multiply the amount of natural light and ventilation. The south/east orientation reinforces this feeling of constant brightness throughout the day.

Layout and concept: main social area, en-suite rest area and separate service

The house is organized with a very “stately” logic (representation, rest and service), but resolved with a contemporary language: wide paths, doors that hierarchize environments and a natural transition between receiving and living.

Entrance hall: a prelude that sets the tone

The entryway doesn’t just distribute space: it introduces. The welcoming area feels spacious, with custom-made wardrobes and finishes that hint at the overall quality: fine woods, meticulous joinery, and a selection of materials chosen to age gracefully.

The hall articulates the access to the day area, the night area and the service area, maintaining privacy and visual order.

Main hall: five balconies aligned with the Paseo de Recoletos

The grand hall is conceived as a room of majestic proportions, designed for conversation, reading and social life.

The spaciousness allows for several simultaneous scenes: a main living area for long after-dinner conversations.

The layout incorporates a second living area, ideal as an audiovisual room (TV hidden behind a sliding door) or reading nook next to the facade.

The lighting—meticulously designed—is layered, subtly highlighting volumes and textures. The five balconies facing the Paseo de Recoletos function as a stage set: light, views, and the elegant boulevard atmosphere, all at the perfect height to maintain privacy.

Formal dining room: scale and presence to entertain in style

Separated but in natural continuity with the living room, the formal dining room offers the scale that a home of this caliber demands.

A long table for eight or ten guests, easy circulation around it, and a facade with openings that guarantee natural light even during long gatherings. It’s a space designed for both formal dinners and private celebrations at home, with that “city house” feel that defines Recoletos.

Main kitchen with island: contemporary functionality with controlled visual connection

The spacious and perfectly equipped kitchen meets the standards of a high-end home: generous work surfaces, ample storage capacity and a central island that invites both cooking and socializing.

Its relationship with the living room is resolved by elegant glass doors: independence when desired, visual connection when living in social mode.

The kitchen is designed for two types of use: everyday (breakfasts, family meals, practical cooking) and occasional (dinners with guests, catering, private events). This duality is reflected in the layout and the ease with which the house can be tidied up effortlessly.

This area is completed with a guest toilet, which provides privacy to the private area of ​​the home.

Auxiliary living room / family room: a flexible space for everyday life

The layout incorporates a second living area, ideal as a family room, media room, playroom, or even an informal office. Accessible from the main hall, this space acts as a buffer between the social area and the rest of the home, allowing for different rhythms: events when desired, privacy when needed. In a 416 m² apartment, this “support room” makes all the difference in everyday life.

Sleeping area: three en suite bedrooms with a serene atmosphere

The house dedicates its best square footage to relaxation: three master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, all with natural light, wardrobes/dressing rooms and perfectly equipped bathrooms.

Master suite: custom-made dressing room and bathroom with natural stone

The master suite stands out for its spaciousness and a layout designed for well-being.

The custom-made dressing room offers generous storage and real order (the quiet luxury that you notice when living).

The en suite bathroom —featuring natural stone— is designed as a relaxing space: a splendid freestanding bathtub, along with a double sink, carefully planned lighting and a “spa” atmosphere that transforms routine into an experience.

Second suite: privacy and aesthetic continuity

The second en suite bedroom maintains the same language of materials and attention to detail: private bathroom, dressing room or built-in wardrobes and a comfortable proportion for a large bed, reading area and storage without saturating.

It’s perfect as a master guest bedroom or a high-end youth bedroom, with the privacy that a full suite offers.

Third suite: versatility without sacrificing quality

The third complete suite allows for several uses: additional bedroom, office suite for teleworking with overnight stay or room for a family member seeking independence.

The common denominator is comfort: natural light, private bathroom and a layout that prioritizes silence, order and rest.

Independent service area: discretion, efficiency and domestic support

A home of this category needs a well-resolved service area, and here it appears as an independent space with its own bedroom and bathroom.

También se encuentra en esta zona una segunda cocina de servicio, que sirve también de cuarto de lavado/plancha. Esta configuración aporta privacidad tanto a la familia como al personal y facilita la operativa diaria sin interferir con la parte noble de la casa.

Calidades y tecnología: confort homogéneo, eficiencia y un diseño que no caduca

Contemporary luxury is measured by how the home feels in every season. This house incorporates aerothermal heating and radiant floor heating, a combination that provides consistent and quiet comfort, as well as efficiency.

It also includes air conditioning, built-in wardrobes and a focus on noble materials: solid wood, handcrafted carpentry, natural stone.

Building and location: Recoletos, Salamanca and the Golden Mile

Located in a classic building (built in 1900) and on the fourth floor with elevator, this property is situated in the most stable, liquid and sought-after area of ​​Madrid: Recoletos, within the Salamanca district.

Recoletos is part of the natural surroundings of Madrid’s Golden Mile, the district’s most exclusive area, characterized by high-end shops and residences, with Serrano Street as its main thoroughfare.
It is a location particularly valued by international buyers for its walkability, its urban feel, and its ability to retain its value.

Living on Paseo de Recoletos: culture, shopping and urban strolling

Paseo de Recoletos is Madrid’s greatest luxury, home to some of the city center’s most important cultural landmarks. Just steps away are the National Library and, next door, the National Archaeological Museum.

Its proximity to Colón, the boulevards, Cibeles and the Prado axis allows you to move around the most exclusive Madrid on foot: the best shops, art galleries and museums, luxury hotels, the most outstanding gastronomy and many green areas, with the feeling of living on a “postcard” avenue, but in a consolidated residential environment that offers maximum security.

Its location in the heart of Madrid, next to the Salamanca district, offers a unique combination: boutiques and international brands, top-tier restaurants, premium services (wellness centers, clinics, hotels), and excellent connectivity by both public transport and private vehicle. For an urban lifestyle, this translates into time: less commuting, more enjoyment.
