Wanted: A home to spark joy.

After months in lockdown, you might be one of the growing number of city dwellers eyeing up greener pastures. And don’t expect this trend to fade any time soon - who wouldn’t jump at the prospect of wide-open spaces, with the beauty of nature on your doorstep?

It’s almost a cliché these days to remark that the COVID-19 crisis has prompted us to reflect more deeply on where we want to live. Remote working is here to stay, and we’re all acutely aware that we’ll be spending more time at home in the future. The time has come to build a life in a property that ticks all the boxes. Demand is growing rapidly for both family homes in the suburbs and weekend hideaways in charming rural and village settings.

For many people in Spain, 2020 has been a gamechanger when it comes to weighing up lifestyle needs and priorities. Properties that promise a day-to-day life of comfort and calm have become highly sought-after in recent months. At The Singular Space, we specialise in seeking out extraordinary properties for extraordinary people, supporting you throughout the purchase process so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Generous, light-filled spaces

Interest in homes that offer plenty of bedrooms for various uses and abundant natural light is soaring. Having a separate space to exercise and an office area or study is a must in this new normality; with remote working and online classes keeping us tucked away at home, we need comfortable spaces for every activity.

A breath-taking and light-infused duplex apartment with four bedrooms, right in the heart of Madrid’s Justicia neighbourhood, is an outstanding choice of home for those whose schedules are brimming with different activities, featuring well-proportioned spaces and natural light for most of the day.

Nature and tranquility within reach of the city

After what 2020 has thrown at us, there’s one thing at the top of every home buyer’s list: green space. Imagine an enticing patio, extensive terracing or bedrooms with private balconies overlooking the garden, swimming pool or a stunning natural landscape like a river, forest, mountains or the sea...

A country retreat just a few kilometres from Madrid could be a chance to revel in the joys of country life, without sacrificing the convenience of proximity to the capital.

Or how about a period home in a quiet, picturesque hamlet: ideal for banishing the stresses and strains of the working week.

Relaxing into the soothing pace of village life, knowing that the delights of the city are right there when you want them – that’s the promise of Madrid’s colonias. This stunning townhouse would make an exceptional family home in an extraordinary neighbourhood.

Fresh air, nature and time to savour those precious moments of calm, away from the clamour and commotion of urban life: that’s the vision homebuyers are aiming for as we approach the end of 2020, and the no.1 goal of those hankering for a better quality of life.

Madrid’s urban arcadia

There is no denying that urban living has many advantages: travel is easy, distances are short and we can be almost anywhere in a matter of minutes. Post-lockdown, however, those searching for their perfect home in the heart of the city want ample space, a terrace and garden and green spaces nearby.

A villa with garden, private swimming pool and a stunning terrace, just moments from a park and with a choice of dining options close at hand, presents a superb opportunity to create an urban lifestyle that works for you.

Virtual pursuits

The pandemic has given fresh impetus to digitalisation in all aspects of daily life – not least the possibility of discovering a new home or secondary residence from your sofa.

At The Singular Space, we understand that buying your ideal property is becoming an increasingly virtual experience. Not only does this call for flexibility and a fluent command of technology to help refine your search, but also a calibre of support and management expertise that makes the decision to buy and embark on a new life efficient, enjoyable and extraordinary.
