Some homes you walk into. This one you arrive at.
Behind private gate, inside a restored 19th-century palacete of only thirteen residences, this duplex unfolds across two floors and almost 300 m² and it’s the rare one where the garden isn’t a view but a room you step straight into.
The living level is a single open flow: kitchen, dining and lounge under door-height windows that pull the river in and the sprawling garden in. Want the kitchen out of sight? Sliding doors close it off without closing the room. A fireplace holds the evenings; when the heat arrives, the air conditioning works quietly though you’ll likely be outside anyway. A social bathroom keeps the floor self-contained. The main door brings you from the garage to your apartment - the garden door opens directly onto the condominium gardens no lobby, no lift, just grass, old trees and the pool a few steps out.
Upstairs, four bedrooms, two of them en suite, three full bathrooms. Each room reaches for the same things: light, cross-ventilation and water never far from the window.
And it comes ready to live. The apartment is offered fully furnished, with design pieces that underline the generous and high end build yet remain light, subtle and of great taste. Hardwood runs throughout; the bathrooms are marble; the appliances are high-grade and current. You arrive with a suitcase, not a moving van.
Then the building takes over. A pool, private gardens shaded by some of Portugal’s oldest trees, a fully equipped gym, steam room, jacuzzi, concierge. Two underground parking spaces with a lift that rises directly into the apartment, and a large storage unit for everything the apartment shouldn’t have to hold. There’s an alarm system too behind private gates, with a concierge downstairs, you’ll likely forget the code. That’s rather the point. Resort calm, in the middle of the city.
This part of Penha da França is one of Lisbon’s quiet turning points a riverside pocket of old convents and warehouses just east of Santa Apolónia, minutes from Alfama, pressed against Beato and Marvila as they become the city’s creative and food quarter. Authentic, on the water, moving in one direction.
A palace apartment without the compromises of an old building, and with every comfort of a new one available to purchase or to lease, furnished and turnkey. The kind of home that quietly convinces you to stop looking. Energy Rating: B #ref:A0494. ML. LX
