Apartment for rent in a historic courtyard in Argüelles, Madrid

This is one of those surprising places that Madrid offers you when you delve a little deeper into its streets, alleys, and secret corners. A place only enjoyed by those fortunate enough to stumble upon it. Who would have thought that in Argüelles, just five minutes from Príncipe Pío station and the same distance from Plaza de España, and nestled among more modern buildings, we would find this original linear courtyard from the early 20th century? This location, among buildings, creates a tranquility that is unbecoming of its location. Its appearance, as if straight out of a 1920s film set, has drawn numerous directors, producers, and actors here. A place you wouldn’t imagine living in if you thought of the center of Madrid.

On the first floor of this courtyard, you’ll find this 85-square-meter home, divided into two bedrooms (both with built-in wardrobes), the master with its own bathroom with a shower, and the second with a bathtub. A living-dining room and a spacious kitchen connect to the living room through a pass-through window. The kitchen and master bedroom face south, so, given that there are no tall buildings next to it, it enjoys plenty of light throughout the day. The living room and second bedroom face north, and their windows overlook the courtyard hallway. In addition to the closets, thanks to the high ceilings of the original buildings, the home features a loft that runs through much of the house, a perfect place for suitcases and other household items. It features laminate floors and smooth walls. Heating and hot water are individual, powered by natural gas.

The prime location in Argüelles, just minutes from key points such as Príncipe Pío and Plaza de España, offers the perfect combination of accessibility and tranquility. The essence of this courtyard, which seems frozen in time, provides a distinctive character and an atmosphere of privacy rarely found in the vibrant heart of the city. It’s a peaceful retreat amidst the urban bustle, a well-kept secret begging to be discovered.

Renting this property is an opportunity to experience a unique residential experience in Madrid. You’ll enjoy the efficiency of its layout and the history that emanates from every corner of this courtyard. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a home with soul, well-connected, and the peace of an urban oasis. At Walter Haus, we invite you to discover this exceptional property.
