Aristocratic recreational villa in Miraflores. Madrid

Engel & Volkers, Luxury real estate in Madrid, presents this pleasure palace in the mountains of Madrid. This aristocratic five-storey property, built in Berroqueña stone and granite finishes, is oriented on its southern facade towards a bucolic valley. The house was built in the early 20th century and in 1990 undergoes a comprehensive reform inside retaining original elements. The imposing entrance gives way to a hall that anticipates the treasures of the house: marble floors and hydraulic tiles, walls covered with tiles from the Sevillian factory, carpentry of the period with modernist touches. On the main floor there is a large living room with fireplace, the kitchen and dining room, library and a glazed gallery over the rear garden. The first floor covered with melis pine boards occupy six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms have their own bathroom en suite. A huge terrace opens onto the garden of the house. The second floor, with large balconies and large windows, currently contains a games room. Four terraces are oriented to the four cardinal points. On the third floor a diaphanous attic with oak beams crowns this small palace. Due to the unevenness of the land the house has a semi-basement with access to the garden, where we can find an apartment for the service, the laundry area, a cellar and the machine room. On this estate had his residence the illustrious D. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Nobel prize of Medicine in the year 1906. The palace is surrounded by two gardens to double height, occupying the almost 1,500 m² of plot. The property has its own garage with capacity for six cars.
