Oeiras e São Julião da Barra, Lisbon

The historic detached house we present to you is a property rich in memories, situated in a central area of Oeiras, where it served for many years as the renowned Princess Isabel School. This historical building preserves its original character, set within an expansive plot of 2, 335 square meters, with sufficient depth for access via the small square that adjoins the rear street. Although located in a significantly urban environment, this home is fortunate to be enveloped by verdant greenery, which enhances its pre-existing charm as it becomes revealed through the foliage. We discover stone details, such as the masonry around the openings, the staircase of the main facade, and the exterior pillars. The architectural features of the period, including the external railings, the intricate design of the main entrance door, and the thickness of the walls, underscore the quality of the construction.The property comprises two levels above ground and one below. During its time as a school, educational activities took place on the upper floors, while recreational pursuits were divided between the exterior and the cellar. The cellar is generously illuminated, featuring openings on both side facades and two entryways at the rear. Access is gained through this latter facade.All wooden flooring is original, and throughout the residence, one can find several fixtures from the period of its construction. As for its orientation, the main facade faces south, benefiting from ample sunlight even in winter and autumn. However, with openings on all three facades, the residence enjoys abundant natural light (East/West).Though flanked by other properties, similarly residential, the way is implanted on the plot and the distance between adjacent walls enhances the sense of privacy. This more intimate atmosphere is accentuated by the surrounding vegetation, the size of the trees, and the density of green space.Given its history as a school, the presence of temporary pavilions allows for their easy removal. Imagine owning this Historic Residence in the tranquil and central region of Oeiras, nestled within a plot of over 2, 300 square meters, with the potential to add a new construction! We look forward to your visit.
