Apartment for sale in Vilanova i La Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain

Lasose Properties are delighted to present this gem in Vilanova's Historical Modernist Heritage :

"Casa Ricart'' is a Listed stately building from the 19th century, the work of architect Josep Font i Gumà. It is located in the Centre, just off the Main Rambla Principal. It has been completely renovated and all the works carefully managed by a private interior design company.

The architect, Josep Font i Gumà (1859/1922), was a renowned architect from Vilanova who built well-known buildings such as the Xalet Miramar, El Nin and the Pirelli factory in Vilanova. Also the Hospital del Redós de Sant Josep i Sant Pere in Sant Pere de Ribes and the Hospital de Sant Joan in Sitges.

In 1901, Josep Maria Ricart requested planning permission to carry out renovations on the building, according to the project of Josep Font i Gumà, hence the house is known as Casa Ricart.

The apartment occupies most of the main 1st floor of the building. As we enter this designer apartment we find 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a living-dining room with an open-plan kitchen. This large inviting space enters beautifully onto the impressive 95 m2 terrace. This is all on the same level, making summer al fresco dining a very comfortable and an enjoyable affair.

The master bedroom has its own private en-suite bathroom. The back wall is made of original pebbled stone, glazed and illuminated, making this an eye catching feature, and very impressive

There are a number of original elements that give the property an exclusive period atmosphere. Among these we find in the living room an original decorative fireplace built in marble, as well as wooden beams, original wooden flooring, Roca slate flooring and beautiful interior carpentry. These period features are combined with modern elements such as high quality finishes, underfloor heating, LED linear lighting and other components that provide comfort such as gas radiators and air conditioning. In the bedrooms we find custom-made wardrobes to maximise space and convenience

The property has a tourist license. This allows you to rent the property for holidays, making it also a very lucrative investment. The street is currently 'Semi-Pedestrian' which makes life much quieter and certainly more private on a daily basis.

This apartment would be ideal for a couple looking to enjoy the sumptuous pleasures of living in a restored historical building in the centre of town, or indeed a small family looking to buy their primary residence.
