Ayala I

This property is only suitable for families. No groups /parties are allowed.

Brand new, stylish and unbelievably spacious, this property will leave even the most discerning traveller spellbound. Located in an aristocratic building in Ayala street, this is the perfect example of what Home at Homes is all about: unique interior décor, the highest specifications, and an unbeatable location.

All 250m² of the property ooze style and possibilities. Travelling with children? You’ll just love its open plan, allowing you to take everything in at a glance and providing plenty of space for play. A group of friends? The space makes for all the privacy you need, whilst the open plan allows you to share time together. Travelling alone, but still want the best of it all? The interior décor, with its Nordic-style furniture, colourful pieces, 20th century classics and a somewhat “industrial” air, will captivate you.

The property has four bedrooms, arranged at the end of a large, bright, open-plan area housing the kitchen, a large sitting room and a dining room. This living area receives natural sunlight through three large French windows looking onto Ayala street. The open plan distribution makes for smooth transition between all the different spaces. Beautiful wooden floors and pristine white walls provide the perfect backdrop for the many unique pieces of furniture, lamps and artworks in the house – you would almost think you were in a modern museum!

The entrance leads into the living area, a large, open-plan space housing the kitchen, which blends in naturally with its surroundings. It is a modern, carefully equipped facility, with high specification white goods and electrical appliances. A central island unit is perfect for cooking, having a glass of wine or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and there is plenty of storage space for keeping everything perfectly organised. The cement tiles provide a chic and colourful touch, and a clear separation from the living room.

The large living room, the heart of the property, is divided into three separate areas, full of colour. The TV area has two designer easy chairs, a large screen, audio system and coffee tables. On from this is a sitting and reading area with two comfortable English-style sofas upholstered in luxurious velvety material, designer pieces of ancillary furniture, and a large standing lamp. The perfect place for heated – but very comfortable! – debates.

Opposite the living area is a large dining table for eight. And you will certainly dine in style: Eames chairs, with the perfect Scandinavian sideboard. Not to forget the works of art hanging on the walls, and the singular carpets affording warmth to the spectacular wooden floor.

A partition marks off an additional working space... or perhaps a play area for the children.

The sleeping area has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large 210cm x 200cm bed, full en-suite bathroom and spacious dressing room. The simple but stylish décor includes a wooden headboard as a main feature, with Kartell Componibili bedside tables in a stunning golden finish.

The second bedroom is a younger style, with two 90cm x 200cm single beds, a large wardrobe and ancillary designer pieces. The third bedroom is the smallest one and holds a trundle bed (one bed under the other).

There is a fourth bedroom in the property, also generously sized, set up as a sitting room, with a comfortable sofa which can be converted into a large bed, and practical ancillary pieces.

The bathrooms, lovingly designed and decorated, are full of high specification features, with bath, rainfall shower and designer sanitary ware. The décor here is also stunning, with superb lighting solutions, and space – lots of it.

All finishings in the property are truly luxurious, and this can be both seen and felt. Stunning wooden floors, atmospheric lighting, climate control, windows which help to maintain the perfect temperature and keep any outside noise at bay, structural iron beams and retro-style oil radiators... all the details which make a house a home.

Ayala I is located in the heart of the Barrio de Salamanca between La Castellana and Calle Serrano, the most exclusive shopping street in Madridrio de Salamanca. This is one of the most elegant and sought-after districts of the capital, known for its aristocratic streets, upmarket hotels, excellent transport links and many high-end shops, chic cafés and restaurants. The beautiful Retiro park just a 10 minute stroll away makes this also an ideal location to go with children. All in all, unbeatable cultural options just a short distance away from the city’s historic centre and financial heart.
