Classical Mansion in Madrid, Spain
Completely refurbished in 2007, this historic mansion epitomizes the classical style. The building materials were taken from other historical homes, now gone, such as the Mansion of the Count of Romanos and the ancient German Embassy.
Exterior
The formal gardens and grounds, laid out in strict geometric shapes, include a pool, several paths and a high exterior wall to maintain the home's privacy.
Foyer
Pale gold silk curtains make a dramatic statement in the open doorway leading from the foyer into the living room.

An enormous rug stretches the length of the ballroom-sized living room that breaks up the large space with several different seating areas. The ceiling soars up over three meters high.
Living Room
Gold and black accents are sprinkled throughout the space for a luxurious, elegant feel.

The conservatory is a peaceful retreat in any season with its glass walls, citrus trees and charming sitting area. Enjoy tea, a favorite book or the company of friends.

Huge arched windows surround the walls of the conservatory and fill the space with light, making this a heavenly spot for breakfast, lunch or an early dinner.

Creams and golds fill the elegant living room, punctuated by crisp accents of black. High ceilings add to the airy feel of the space.

A black-and-white checked floor adds fun graphic punch to the modern kitchen. The door leads to the garden, which provides access to the gatekeeper's (or staff) house.

Home Office
Work from home in ultimate Victorian style in the office that features wraparound glass cabinets for storage and a lovely wood desk with gracefully curving legs.

In warmer months, the pool and surrounding lawns and patios become a blissful retreat from the heat and hectic pace.
