Discover a unique apartment where the timeless elegance of wood blends harmoniously with the authenticity of the iconic Saint Andrew’s crosses — an architectural element with centuries of history found in the most noble buildings of Lisbon.
The Saint Andrew’s crosses, also known as X-panels, are one of the most emblematic decorative features of Portuguese Pombaline and pre-Pombaline architecture. Originally used as structural reinforcement in buildings constructed after the 1755 earthquake, they became over the centuries a symbol of Lisbon’s architectural identity, present in the city’s most historic and valued properties. To live in an apartment with this detail is to inhabit a living piece of Lisbon’s history.
Set within a boutique building of just 3 floors, with the exclusivity of only 2 apartments per floor, this 3-bedroom apartment is located on the 3rd and top floor — ensuring privacy, tranquillity and exclusivity rarely found in the heart of the capital.
Renovated with Taste, Preserved with Care
The apartment was fully renovated 10 years ago with high-quality materials and finishes — and the result speaks for itself: the condition is impeccable, with such a fresh and well-kept appearance that it looks as though the renovation was just completed. Every space conveys a sense of newness, a testament to the care and attention with which it has been maintained over the years.
The kitchen is a true highlight of the property, equipped with top-of-the-range SMEG appliances — an icon of Italian design that combines retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Virtually the entire appliance lineup is from the brand, making this kitchen as functional as it is visually stunning.
