Lucas Fox offers a wide range of El Born real estate for sale, including properties that have been extensively renovated whilst preserving their charming original features. Wooden ceiling beams, exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windowed doorways that lead onto balconies and ornate cornice decorations are often preserved during renovations, which have served to open up many properties to more light and space.
