While reading up on the downturn in Manhattan real estate on nytimes.com, I couldn’t help but notice this in the real estate section: a 17th century, 3-bedroom duplex in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter for 1.45 million euros (currently $1,857,595…oof). It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close. Some of my favorite features include:
- 2,153 square ft of living space with floor-to-ceiling windows.
- A 500+ square foot terrace overlooking a basilica.
- A Gaudi-inspired dining room with mosaic floors, stained glass windows and painted ceilings.
- Living room inspired and designed after Versailles; a little over-the-top, but could be muted down with less color and moldings.
