T3+1 - Penthouse in Alcântara, Lisbon, Portugal

A beautiful fully-renovated penthouse in Alto de Santo Amaro - the most charming neighbourhood of Alcântara, Lisbon - Portugal. Located right above the treetops, this sunny apartment is surrounded by green spaces and views of the 25th of April Bridge, the Pestana Palace, the Palace of Ajuda and the beautiful traditional Portuguese roof tops.
Nested in an historic building from 1920, this comfortable apartment draws its aesthetics from the Portuguese luxury heritage with its high ceilings, plasterwork, carved wood doors, lioz stones, natural tiles, and porcelains.
Completely renovated in a minimal-colonial style, the apartment has two separate entrance doors: one leading to the main entrance hall and other to a private office that is now considered the house’s library. Coming in through the main entrance hall we are able to walk straight into the dining and living room area with a stunning Portuguese style fireplace and lots of natural light coming in through the big windows with their iron rod balconies.
Continuing through the hallway we will find 3 bedrooms: a very spacious master suite with an ensuite bathroom (bathtub and separate shower) and a private balcony, a double sized bedroom with an inbuilt large closet, and a single bedroom. The apartment also has a second spacious bathroom with a window and a separate enclosed cupboard for the laundry (with a washing/drying machine). In the hallway, between the bedrooms, there is also a large built in cupboard for towels, linen, etc.
At the end of the hallway we will find a fully equipped and very stylish kitchen with a huge door that leads to a south facing varanda. The kitchen, inspired by British brand DeVol, has spacious cabinets with brass handles, a Portuguese stone sink, and a beautiful brass tap. The kitchen is fully equipped with Mièle home appliances.
The house doors are painted in a blue/green colour from Farrow&Ball and in both bathrooms were used a french natural lime paint and mineral stone pigments in respect for the environment. Porcelain switchers are from Fontini.
In the hallway there is also an entrance to a huge storage room in the rooftop.
The building has a lift and its location is just a few minutes away from Monsanto Natural Park (Lisbon’s protected forest with 1000 ha), Amoreiras; one of the most privileged commercial areas of Lisbon, Alcântara Train Station and Lx Factory. In the heart of Lisbon, this elegant apartment is timely located in a gateway to Sintra, Cascais and Estoril, as well as Caparica, Alentejo and the South.
