Film Spotlight: Modernist Valencia Residence With Historical Roots

Exploring the most exceptional properties in premier destinations across the globe. 

The painstaking labor and attention to detail that defined the craftsman of a hundred years ago is on full display at Císcar 4, a 1920s building protected for its architectural value. Situated along a spacious boulevard shaded by trees, the exterior of the structure is adorned with plaster decorations that showcase its original design, also seen in the wrought-iron balconies supported by intricately scrolled soffits and the hand-carved wooden doors crowned with transom windows.

Inside one of the building’s residences, however, a new era of craftsmanship is on display. Renovated from top-to-bottom, the interior exemplifies modern design at its pinnacle.  The ornate detailing found on the exterior is instead replaced by a sophisticated space with clean lines. An open-plan design with 10-foot ceilings makes for a bright, airy atmosphere, complemented by glass doors leading out to the balcony.

A glass wall and door separate the living room from the dining room and kitchen, where sleek surfaces make for a polished space. Appliances include an extra-sized fridge and freezer, versatile hob, steam oven, vacuum packing machine and two wine fridges. If desired, the kitchen can be visually separated from the living room as the glass wall can change from clear to translucent with the push of a button.

Other high-end modern features include heated wood flooring, automatic locks with fingerprint recognition and phone remote access and push button technology that allows the home to be run remotely. Covering

nearly 3,300 square feet, the floorplan encompasses three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, an office/study and laundry.

The residence has storage rooms and independent access from the

garage, with security locks and CCTV control. Located in Ensanche, Císcar 4 is set among many of the city’s best dining and shopping, as well as the expansive urban park, Turia Gardens.

About the area: The Ensanche district in Valencia, Spain, also known as Eixample in Catalan, is a dynamic and modern area that beautifully complements the city’s historic charm. Developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Ensanche is characterized by wide boulevards, spacious squares, and elegant architecture that reflects the influence of the Art Nouveau and Modernisme movements. As a residential and commercial hub, Ensanche attracts locals and visitors alike with its upscale boutiques, stylish cafes and a vibrant cultural scene.
