The Empordà's best-kept secret Descripción de la propiedad This spectacular townhouse redefines architectural design by blending the warmth of the original rustic stone with the sophistication of a New York industrial loft. Upon arriving at the property, a large cast-iron gate guards the secret behind its walls: an entrance that gives no hint of the modern jewel hidden inside. When the street door opens, an intimate, welcoming private courtyard is revealed, centered around an elegant swimming pool. Here, the boundary between outdoors and indoors disappears thanks to an immense glass sliding wall-door spanning the entire façade. This large-format glazed door allows the house and courtyard to merge into a single space, offering the feeling of living outdoors in complete privacy. The interior impresses with its double-height volume and open-plan spaces. The ground floor features an industrial-style living room, a spacious dining area, and a professionally designed kitchen with a hybrid system combining electric hobs and a teppanyaki griddle, ideal for food lovers. The high ceilings showcase light-wood beams that preserve the building's historic character. At the heart of the social area stands a round fireplace, a sculptural piece that distributes the warmth and beauty of the fire in 360 degrees. Visual continuity is absolute thanks to flooring that flows uninterrupted from the courtyard into the home. A minimalist iron staircase leads to the upper floor. On this level, a glass walkway crosses the void above the living room, allowing views of the ground floor from above and enhancing the overall brightness. The private area comprises three versatile single bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a primary suite. The ground floor is completed by a practical bathroom with shower, a separate laundry area, and an integrated garage. This property is a unique piece for those seeking the calm of a village without giving up the most cutting-edge, bold urban aesthetic of New York's SoHo. An exceptional opportunity to enjoy a sophisticated retreat where glass, iron, wood, and stone coexist in perfect harmony. Descripción de la ubicación Empordà is a historic region in the northeast of Catalonia, a plain where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea. It is divided into Alt Empordà and Baix Empordà. A land where small roads and paths let you get close to rice fields, vineyards, olive groves, haylofts and sunflowers. Protected natural areas and a spectacular coastline of beaches, coves and cliffs shape a distinctive landscape rich in contrasts, nature and color. Empordà is also history and culture thanks to its medieval towns with Romanesque and Gothic heritage, and fishing villages that still preserve the typical white houses. All this while enjoying a traditional cuisine known as 'sea and mountain', along with an age-old wine tradition that lets you visit its wineries and vineyards. Empordà is a unique, incomparable land to discover, feel and experience. ref:W-048YKI
