Description
With many old memories dating back to the early 20th century, this house was the scene of gatherings and lots of entertainment. It was the Casa dos Encarnados. A few years ago it inspired an energetic and enterprising couple who bought it and recreated that atmosphere of conviviality, friends and lots of music on the generous ground floor. There was a bar with artists. My eyes still glaze over when I talk about that time.
The building, with its old-fashioned charm but in need of major intervention, later became part of the family's plans and so another phase began: the restoration of the 1st and 2nd floors, with all the quality details that guarantee comfort: insulation of the roof and walls, new plumbing, sewage and electrical systems, windows that guarantee insulation with double and triple glazing with thermal break and new window frames, pre-installation of air conditioning in every room. The huge living room, full of natural light, has large doors leading out onto a generous terrace.
This duplex is being sold in the finishing phase, allowing the future owner to make personalised choices of materials for the floors, bathrooms, A/C and kitchen.
But the house as a whole doesn't stop there, i.e. the ground floor (which is used for services) and the duplex. Another lovely house - in need of renovation and with an independent entrance through a quiet square adorned with lush cypress trees - connects to the former bar and, via stairs, to the magnificent terrace on the first floor.
In total, 766m2 have been partially renovated and have incredible potential. The property is currently in full ownership but could be converted into horizontal ownership, resulting in a commercial space, a duplex and a lovely little traditional detached house.
The description:
On the ground floor (former bar) full of traditional vaulted ceilings there is a small industrial kitchen and two large spaces where customers circulated and artists revealed themselves. Most of the floor has the original wide marble rectangles. There are three bathrooms and a toilet. Stairs lead up to the first floor terrace and the garage of the small house.
On the 1st floor: a large hall with access to a balcony and incredible views of the castle/ 1 suite with castle views/ 1 guest bathroom/ 1 large living/dining room/ kitchen and a fantastic terrace.
On the 2nd floor: 2 suites,/1 bedroom with independent bathroom/1 technical area (laundry)/ 1 storage room/1 bathroom
In the small house: on the ground floor there are two spaces, one of which could be a garage (wide access door) and 3 rooms on the first floor.
This house is situated in one of the main streets of Estremoz. This part of the city is undergoing a major regeneration of its historic and emblematic buildings. The famous Rossio and local shops are just a 3-minute walk from this special house.
