Architecture Wednesday: Justicia Penthouse

I just adore a penthouse view, and this sprawling rooftop abode overlooks the central barrio of Justicia, in Madrid. The apartment sits atop an historic building but recently underwent a thorough renovation creating a home that is both old and new.

In a little more than 2,000 square feet, the home presents a strikingly open layout—living, dining and kitchen—complete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, painted brick walls, and white floorboards.

The bright living room is anchored by a large fireplace and sits opposite of the dining area and kitchen. Steps away, expansive steel-framed glass doors open to a large private terrace—an idyllic setting for entertaining and mesmerizing views of the historic center of Justicia.

Back inside, the long kitchen counter runs the length of a textured brick wall, leaving plenty of floor space for a large dining table.

On the opposite side of the foyer, a custom shelving unit spans the hallway leading to the private wing. There are two bedrooms and two baths on this side of the home, with the primary bedroom featuring a custom mural and wardrobe.

Historic and modern, a penthouse with a view and it can be your for just $2,727,961 USD.
