This three-bedroom apartment at Panorama, Parque da Cidade Residences, has a river view. Not a sliver between rooftops, nor a glimpse from a corner balcony: the entire front of the full-width balcony faces the water. Just beyond, a few steps away, the Rowing Centre. In the morning, the boats draw parallel lines across the river. That is your alarm clock.
A view you only get to buy once.
This three-bedroom apartment at Panorama, Parque da Cidade Residences, has a river view. Not a sliver between rooftops, nor a glimpse from a corner balcony: the entire front of the full-width balcony faces the water. Just beyond, a few steps away, the Rowing Centre. In the morning, the boats draw parallel lines across the river. That is your alarm clock. On the other side, the City Park. Behind, Santa Luzia. Ahead, the ten-minute walk that brings you to the historic centre. And at the end of the riverfront, Cabedelo and the Atlantic. This is not an apartment near good things. It is an apartment in the middle of them. A luxury apartment designed to outlast a trend. There are 153.48 m2 of gross private area, plus 56.15 m2 of ancillary areas, laid out with a generosity that is rarely built today. The open-plan living room with integrated kitchen measures 43.64 m2 — genuine room for a table for eight, a sitting area, and space to breathe between the two. The kitchen, with 13.17 m2 of worktop and island, connects to its own laundry room and opens onto the balcony. The three bedrooms occupy the front of the apartment, all facing the river, all with access to the 9.43 m2 full-width balcony and all with fitted wardrobes. The suite measures 16.30 m2 and has a private bathroom; the remaining two, 13.17 m2 and 12.23 m2. Three bathrooms in total, including a guest cloakroom. It is the detail that separates a well-designed home from a merely large one. The quality you don’t see is the quality you feel every day. Energy rating A. Floating oak flooring. High-performance double glazing with a 32% solar factor, because a front facing the river is also a front facing the sun. Climate control by high-efficiency VRV heat pump, with heating, cooling and independent temperature control in every room. Domestic hot water supported by solar panels. Ventilated façade in Natural Zinc composite panel, with granite at ground-floor level. And acoustic insulation treated as part of the design, not as a finish: rock wool in every ceiling, acoustic block with rock wool on both faces of the walls between units, acoustic membrane over the slab and floor joints in the sensitive areas. The result is silence — the hardest luxury to buy once the building is finished. The kitchen is delivered fully equipped with Siemens and Bosch: 80 cm FlexInduction hob, iQ700 pyrolytic oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, wall-mounted extractor hood, 319 L refrigerator and 211 L NoFrost freezer. Lacquered units, integrated LED lighting.
The entrance door is high-security, with Class 3 burglar-resistance certification, EI₂30 fire rating and acoustic certification. The alarm covers both apartment and garage. The private garage box, with sectional door, accommodates a minimum of two cars and is prepared for the installation of a wallbox for an electric vehicle. The city is growing inwards. This riverfront will not happen twice.
