Eight south-facing balconies over monumental Madrid

Eight south-facing balconies establish an extraordinary dialogue between this 339 sqm residence and Madrid. Set on an exterior fourth floor in Jerónimos, the property looks towards some of the capital's most recognisable landmarks around Neptuno and the Madrid Stock Exchange, moments from Paseo del Prado.

The residence occupies a distinguished building dating from 1900 and has undergone a comprehensive renovation conceived to respect its classical architectural setting. Original proportions and the rhythm of its balconies are now complemented by contemporary interiors, high-quality materials and carefully considered finishes.

Its southern exposure is particularly significant. Natural light accompanies the principal exterior rooms throughout much of the day, while the sequence of eight balconies creates changing perspectives over the surrounding architecture and gives the interiors an unusual connection with the city.

Reception spaces reflect the scale of the 339 sqm floor plan, providing generous settings for living, dining and entertaining. A fully equipped professional-grade kitchen has been executed to the same standard as the rest of the renovation, equally suited to everyday use and more formal occasions.

The private accommodation comprises three en-suite bedrooms. Rather than dividing the considerable footprint into numerous rooms, the layout gives each bedroom a substantial sense of space and privacy. A separate guest powder room completes the arrangement.

Lift access complements the property, while the building retains the architectural presence associated with Madrid's grand early-20th-century residential buildings.

Jerónimos has a setting unlike almost anywhere else in the capital. Retiro Park, the Prado Museum, the Royal Botanical Garden and the cultural axis of Paseo del Prado are all part of the immediate surroundings, placing art, architecture and green space within walking distance of both Salamanca and Madrid's historic centre.

Here, the city is not simply viewed through the windows. It becomes part of the residence through eight balconies overlooking one of Madrid's most distinguished urban settings.
