This turn-of-the century house, built in 1890 by a wealthy textile baron, has recently been restored to create a private home that enjoys lovely mountain views from an area of Collserola that is just 10 minutes from Barcelona, accessed from the Rabassada road to Sant Cugat.  New installations include gasoil heating and a 1,000 litre reserve water deposit. The entire construction comprises 450 m2 (of which 125 m2 is a domestic service apartment with separate entrance on the garden level) on a 1600 m2 plot that includes a covered carport for 2 cars, garden and vegetable garden area.
