Step into a unique property in Sant Gervasi, a majestic 19th century building located in a private and listed pedestrian passage. This exceptional house, rehabilitated between 1988 and 1997 by the famous Italian architect TOBIA SCARPA, has two original facades of the period, meticulously restored during his intervention in the property.
With a layout comprising four floors of 131m² each and two mezzanines of 50m², this house stands out for its architectural detail. Inside, a garden surrounds a charming English courtyard. This residence has lots of light, high ceilings and a square layout that creates spacious and bright rooms.
Architect Tobia Scarpa, who served as Curator of the City of Venice for over two decades, undertook a comprehensive renovation. His work is acclaimed and recognized, highlighting the collaboration with his father, Carlo Scarpa, in the rehabilitation of up to five Palazzos in Venice.
Scarpa put his personal stamp on every detail of this unique house. He used marble dust on the walls, calibrated iron metal profiles and Italian marble floors specially brought from Italy for this project. The door knobs and every piece of Venetian mosaic on the main floor bear Scarpa’s meticulous and unique design, reflecting his exceptional architectural vision.
Upon entering the property, a spacious foyer leads to a bright living room that opens onto the 130-meter English garden. On this floor, there is also a small toilet. The lower floor houses a spacious kitchen with dining area, a pantry, a bedroom and a bathroom. Between the ground floor and the first floor, a mezzanine offers a quiet space to rest or read.
On the first level, two generously sized bedrooms: one overlooking the English garden and the other with a balcony overlooking the quiet and beautiful passageway. Two bathrooms and a dressing room complete this floor. The second floor houses a hall currently used as an office, two large bedrooms and a bathroom.
On the top floor, a roof terrace with private pool offers panoramic views of Tibidabo and the passage.
In addition, the property has a large basement, used as a storage room. For convenience, the house has an elevator.
This is an exclusive opportunity to acquire an architectural masterpiece, legacy of the famous architect Tobia Scarpa, within a quiet residential passage of Barcelona.

Location
Sarrià – Sant Gervasi is the largest district of Barcelona. It is a quiet neighborhood, far from the places most frequented by tourists. It extends to the Tibidabo mountain and on the Collserola mountain, the biggest green space in Barcelona. This neighborhood of Barcelona was born from the union of two old independent towns: Sarrià and San Gervasio de Cassoles. In the last century, the wealthiest families of Barcelona had palaces and mansions built as their second residence in Sarrià- Sant Gervasi to be able to spend their vacations there and benefit from its tranquility.
It is composed of 6 different neighborhoods, which are El Putxet i el Farò, Sarrià, Sant Gervasi – La Bonanova, Sant Gervasi – Galvany, Les Tres Torres and Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes, and the six are characterized by being residential, being close to the mountain, but being urban and having high standing housing. It is the most expensive district of Barcelona and it is located on Avinguda Tibidabo, one of the most expensive streets in all of Spain.
Today, it is considered the “chic” neighborhood of Barcelona. There are private schools, clinics, embassies, many parks and green spaces. It is also a neighborhood that conserves a village aspect, especially in the part of Sarrià, where there are a great number of narrow streets and small squares.
If you like nature, Sarrià – Sant Gervasi is your ideal neighborhood because of its many natural and urban parks and the Collserola mountain, you will have plenty to choose from! The Jardin del Turó del Putxet is worth a visit for its views of Barcelona, L’Oreneta, located on the edge of the Collserola Natural Park, the road to Les Aigües that crosses the mountain.
