Charming Sarrià Apartment with Rooftop Terrace near Campuses

Description

This charming loft-style apartment is located in the tranquil and sought-after neighborhood of Sarrià, at the foothills of the Collserola mountain range. It offers a peaceful retreat in Barcelona’s greenest district—well connected to the city center (just 15 minutes by train), yet far from its hustle and noise. The apartment is particularly well suited for scholars, professionals, or couples seeking a calm base with easy access to world-class universities, schools, and cultural landmarks. The apartment spans 65 m² and occupies the first floor of a two-family building. It features one bedroom with a comfortable double bed, a spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, and sofa bed, and a bathroom with a full bathtub—perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. The interior combines functionality and warmth, with oak wood floors in the living and sleeping areas and stoneware tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. The rooftop terrace is a highlight of this home. While it is shared with the neighbors (three students who have their own terrace), it offers plenty of privacy and includes outdoor furniture and a Weber barbecue, inviting relaxed outdoor meals and sunny afternoons. Sarrià is one of Barcelona’s most desirable residential areas. Known for its village-like charm, well-preserved historic center, clean air, and quiet streets, it offers a high quality of life and a strong sense of local identity. Though it became part of Barcelona only in 1927, Sarrià has managed to preserve its small-town feel with low-rise houses, charming pedestrian streets, and family-run bakeries and shops. Locals often compare it to Gràcia—but note that Sarrià feels even more intimate. The apartment is located just off one of these pedestrian streets, offering peace and privacy. Nearby, you'll find several internationally renowned business schools, including ESADE, ESEI, and IQS. The area is also home to prestigious private clinics, embassies (such as those of the U.S. and Mexico), and architectural landmarks like the Pedralbes Monastery and Palau Reial. For scholars and students, the location is ideal: several major university campuses and summer seminar programs are within walking distance. Public transport is easily accessible, with frequent trains connecting Sarrià to Plaça Catalunya and the broader metro and bus network. The kitchen includes an induction stove with three burners, a dishwasher, refrigerator, Nespresso machine, toaster, citrus press, water kettle, and Italian moka pot. Additional amenities include a deep freezer, washing machine, and dryer in the attic. High-speed internet is provided, and the smart TV is compatible with Netflix and other streaming services. Music lovers can enjoy their playlists via a Bluetooth soundbar. The apartment is ideally suited for two people, though an additional child may be accommodated in special cases. It is licensed for short stays and may also be rented for medium-term academic visits or sabbaticals. If you’re looking for a peaceful and well-connected home base in one of Barcelona’s most authentic and livable neighborhoods, this apartment in Sarrià is a rare find.
