Description
We are in the Se district, on the Castle Hill itself. This is a historic area, the first residential nucleus of the ancient Roman city of Olissipo, where traces of this past intersect with the Islamic and Christian occupations of the city.
The street (Rua do Barao) has vehicular access exclusive to residents, and the buildings are imposing, with majestic Pombaline facades beautifully rehabilitated.
It is in this quintessentially Lisbon atmosphere that this apartment is located. Fully renovated five years ago, this 2-bedroom apartment offers 125 sqm of gross private area and is situated on the 4th floor of a Pombaline building (no elevator) with six floors and only one apartment per floor.
The apartment captivates with its sober and clean lines, preserving all the elegance of Pombaline architecture with a touch of contemporaneity. Featuring wooden flooring and abundant natural light, and various original elements (wooden doors and shutters, stone chimney), the space feels both cosy and functional. On one side, the private quarters overlook the noble Rua do Barao, facing north, while on the other, the spacious social area (36 sqm) with an open kitchen faces south, offering unobstructed views over the city and the Tagus River.
The Pombaline walls provide coolness in summer and a mild temperature in winter. The apartment's dual facades allow for natural cross-ventilation, ensuring thermal comfortfurther enhanced by PVC double-glazed window framesand a high quality of life.
The kitchen is fully equipped (Electrolux appliances) and features an induction hob and a 100-litre water heater.
The apartment is located on one of the most noble streets of the Se district, in the very heart of historic Lisbon, close to the city's main cultural and tourist attractions (Lisbon Cathedral, Sao Jorge Castle, Roman Theatre, Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints, the National Pantheon, among others) and benefits from a wide range of shops and services. The proximity to the Terreiro do Paco metro station (400 m) and Santa Apolonia train/metro station (800 m) ensures excellent accessibility. Residents also have parking options at the EMEL underground public parking facility at Campo das Cebolas.
