Description
This elegant property is located in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, where history and modernity intertwine in a unique residence. Conceived by the renowned architect Luís Castellón Rodrigo, this house evokes the old Catalan farmhouses with defense tower, offering a refuge full of charm and serenity.
Every corner of this property tells a fascinating story: from the spacious terraces with panoramic views to the decorative stained glass windows that adorn the Alabart de Llavaneres tower. Here, time seems to stand still, inviting you to disconnect from the daily hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the tranquility of your own private retreat.
Located in a quiet residential area, this modern style house was built in 1959 as a summer residence by the architect Luís Castellón Rodrigo, following the indications of José Serra Salvá. The architectural structure of the house presents a modern version of the old Catalan farmhouses with defense tower, a distinctive feature of the Maresme region. With a two-story layout and an attached tower on the right side, this residence offers a unique combination of history and contemporary comforts.
The house has a spacious second floor with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, each with its own terrace, offering panoramic views of the surrounding natural environment. In addition, next to the garage, there is a bedroom with bathroom for the chauffeur, as well as two service rooms with bathroom. The structure preserves the essence of its original design, maintaining the harmony between the interior and exterior.
As for the facilities, the house has a 7,000 liter diesel tank and a diesel stove. It is required to connect the natural gas installation with the road for its modernization. In addition, it has two water wells that need to be renovated and a septic tank that must be connected to Costa Gallina, the adjoining urbanization.
The decorative stained glass windows that adorn the Alabart de Llavaneres tower stand out, exhibiting a high artistic and technical level. These unique pieces, made by the most prestigious companies of the time, are a fundamental part of the cultural heritage of Catalonia and require proper preservation to prevent their deterioration.
On the façade of the house, three beautiful ceramics stand out: a sundial, the virgin with child and a hunting scene. In the foyer of the second floor, three impressive stained glass windows adorn the space, representing the wind, the sea and fire. These pieces, designed by Narcís Pons and Junyer, and executed by the prestigious companies Vila Clara and Granell y Cia respectively, add a touch of art and distinction to the property.
Narcís Pons y Junyer, a disciple of Francesc Labarta, was the talented artist behind the stained glass and ceramic designs. Collaborating with Granell y Cia, he left his mark on iconic buildings such as the Cathedral of Tarragona and the Sagrada Familia. Granell y Cia, recognized for its excellence in the art of stained glass, worked with renowned architects on emblematic projects such as the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Hospital de Sant Pau.
On the other hand, Cerámicas Vila Clara, a family business founded by Josep Vila Clara, has been a benchmark in the modernization of traditional ceramics. Josep and Joan Vila Clara took the craft to new horizons, incorporating contemporary techniques and designs.
The ceramics on the façade, chosen by Josep Serra and his wife Maria Luisa Catalan, add a distinctive and personalized touch to the property, reflecting attention to detail and care in the selection of unique decorative elements.
