Apartment in Fuente del Berro

Lumier presents this 119 m² second-floor, south-facing exterior home in Fuente del Berro, the calmest and most family-friendly corner of the Barrio de Salamanca. Fully renovated by Mónica Diago's architecture and design studio, it is delivered completely furnished and ready to live in: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two terraces and a parking space within the building included in the price. The building has a 24-hour doorman and a well-kept communal garden.

The day area begins with an entrance hall that sets the tone, featuring a curved bespoke bookcase designed for the project. The well-proportioned living-dining room connects directly to the south-facing main terrace, with street views and natural light for much of the day. The independent kitchen is resolved with precision: a highly functional peninsula, integrated extractor, porcelain worktop and a made-to-measure glazed metal door that separates it from — and connects it to — the social area. It is completed with high-end Siemens appliances.

The private quarters comprise three bedrooms, all with bespoke fitted wardrobes. The bathrooms show careful attention to materials and composition: one stands out for its small-format tiles, half-height clad wainscot, custom-designed mirror and shower with integrated niche; the second matches it in quality of finish.

The whole is coherent from start to finish: oak-effect flooring throughout, ducted air conditioning, reinforced entrance door and made-to-measure interior joinery in every storage space. The second terrace, accessed from the bedroom area, adds a more intimate outdoor space.

The parking space, included in the price, is within the building itself, has easy access and is sized for a large car — a highly prized asset in this part of the city.

Set in a reputable development on Calle del Porvenir, between Hermosilla and Jorge Juan, this is the quietest, most residential part of the Barrio de Salamanca, away from the traffic of the main arteries. A few minutes' walk away are the shops and social life of Plaza de Felipe II and Goya, and the Fuente del Berro park, one of the most cherished green spaces in eastern Madrid within the M-30. An address for those who want the best of Salamanca without giving up the calm.
