Splendid Apartment in Guindalera (Salamanca District, Madrid)

Some apartments fit neatly into one category—while others, due to their layout and height, invite you to imagine several. This apartment in La Guindalera (Salamanca district) falls into the latter category: a 4th-floor exterior apartment with elevator, 142 m² of living space, 3/4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, in a classic 1950 building.

The first impression is clear: almost 150 meters well distributed, rooms with comfortable proportions and a spacious living room that becomes the natural center of the house.

From there, the plan allows you to decide: maintain a separate dining area, create a second living room, add a proper office for teleworking, or configure a proper fourth bedroom.

The building itself is impressive: a 7-story building with an elevator and a well-established residential community. The stately and well-maintained entrance reinforces the feeling of a “good building,” adding value from the very first moment.

Daytime area: living room, dining room and kitchen (the triangle that defines the lifestyle)

From the entrance, the house is logically organized: to the right, the kitchen; straight ahead, the transition to the large living room. This separation between “work” and “living” areas works especially well for those who want visual order and domestic calm.

Living room: the main protagonist (33.1 m²)

The main living-dining room (approx. 33.1 m²) offers what is hard to find in this area: a generous and truly versatile space. It easily accommodates a sofa area, a TV unit or bookcase, a reading nook, and, if desired, a formal dining area without obstructing the flow of traffic. The height of the fourth floor and its exterior location allow natural light to enhance the ambiance.

This living room is a “canvas” for elevating interior design. With a light palette, well-thought-out lighting, and statement furniture pieces (without being excessive), the result can be very contemporary without losing warmth.

Separate dining room (11.4 m²): or second living room, or bedroom 4

Next to the kitchen, the dining room (approx. 11.4 m²) is the versatile room that makes all the difference.

Today it can be a breakfast nook; tomorrow, an intimate living room; and, if the project calls for it, an additional bedroom with perfect uses (guests, teenager, office with a sofa bed). This flexibility explains why the listing presents it as a 3/4 bedroom home.

Kitchen (10.7 m²): good base, renovation with return

The kitchen (approx. 10.7 m²) is independent and has a practical storage and worktop base, but it needs an upgrade to bring it up to “state-of-the-art”.

Here are two very interesting paths:

• Keep the kitchen closed (ideal if you cook a lot): custom-made furniture, integrated appliances, technical lighting and a small bar or breakfast corner.

• Partially open towards the adjoining dining room/living area (if the building and structure allow it): you would gain a feeling of spaciousness and a more social concept, very much in line with the current lifestyle.

Sleeping area: privacy, built-in wardrobes and two full bathrooms

From the living room, a hallway leads to the sleeping area, clearly separating it from the rest of the house. This is a key advantage: the house allows you to “turn off” the private area and maintain the daytime area as a space for entertaining or living without interference.

Master bedroom with en suite bathroom (14.8 m² + bathroom)

The master bedroom (approx. 14.8 m²) is designed as a suite: a comfortably sized room with a built-in wardrobe and an integrated bathroom to enhance privacy.

It is the typical layout that works very well for both a couple and for someone looking for a master bedroom with a “hotel feel” by having the bathroom integrated into the room.

Two additional bedrooms and a large shared bathroom

The other two bedrooms (approx. 9.5 m² and 8.0 m²) are ideal as children’s rooms, an office, or a guest room.

Both have built-in wardrobes and plenty of natural light.

Two bathrooms: real functionality for everyday life

The property has 2 full bathrooms, an essential feature in a family home or an apartment designed for entertaining.

Estado de la vivienda: buena base + margen de mejora inteligente

Overall, the property is presented as second-hand / good condition, with a solid foundation to move into and live in, and at the same time with room to update and increase value where it is most noticeable: kitchen, if desired, the aesthetics of bathrooms and paint, and a cozy feel for the living room.

In terms of comfort, it features individual natural gas heating, a highly sought-after solution due to its control over consumption and autonomy.

La Guindalera (Salamanca District): neighborhood life, quick connections and leisure just steps away

Living in La Guindalera is a very Madrid mix: residential atmosphere, local shops, cafes and daily services, with the added bonus of being minutes away from the dynamism of the Salamanca District.

In terms of mobility, the area stands out for its proximity to the Avenida de América interchange and to metro stations such as Avenida de América and Diego de León, in addition to the quick access to M-30 and main arteries.

And for everyday life: parks, sports, culture and health in the surrounding area —from the Eva Duarte Perón Park to event venues like Movistar Arena and a wide range of medical centers, schools and services.

In short: who is this apartment for?

• For those looking for a spacious apartment in Salamanca/Guindalera with high ceilings, natural light, and an elevator.

• For families who need 3/4 real bedrooms (3 + dining room/office/living room) and 2 bathrooms.

• For buyers who value a flat in good condition today, but want a updating project with return (kitchen and style).
