Homes by Pegasus presents this exclusive, designer penthouse on Calle Cava de San Miguel, a truly unique property in the Madrid real estate market.

With 234 m2 of living space and a 40 m2 private terrace, the property is distributed over two floors designed as a seamless spatial experience. The lower floor, approximately 152 m2, is presented as a large open-plan space where the kitchen, dining room, and living room flow together without interruption, creating a sense of spaciousness, fluidity, and light rarely found in the historic center. Every element has been carefully designed to enhance the balance between aesthetics and functionality, in a modern design that respects the building's original character.

This space offers a unique atmosphere, where traditional architecture is reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility.

From here, the vistas are simply exceptional.
To the south, the Plaza Mayor unfolds in all its grandeur, offering a direct, elevated, and unfiltered perspective of one of the city's most recognizable icons: its 17th-century layout, granite arcades, cobblestones, and the equestrian statue of Philip III at its very center. It's not a distant view: it's Madrid from above, at its finest.
To the north, the rooftops of the historic center create a panorama that extends to the city skyline, where landmarks such as the Edificio Espana and the Torre de Madrid stand out, alongside bell towers and rooftops that define the capital's most authentic visual identity.
All in all, this residence represents a unique property, where the custom renovation, the location in the heart of the historic center, and a terrace with direct views of the Plaza Mayor create an unparalleled asset. Ideal both for end users seeking a singular residence and for investors who understand the value of the scarce, the iconic, and the impossible to replicate.
