Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon

3+1 bedroom apartment with 288 sqm of gross private area, magnificent views over Lisbon, with parking and a 300 sqm garden with swimming pool, dry sauna, wet sauna, gym, and Guest House, in the heart of Castelo, Lisbon.The apartment and garden underwent a thorough and complete rehabilitation, with an audacious project using high-quality materials, elegance, and good taste. History and contemporary design merged in this 19th-century building, preserving noble elements such as ornate ceilings and cornices with decorative elements from the period and high ceilings. Located in Castelo, one of Lisbon's seven hills, offering unique views.The apartment occupies the entire floor of the building, has two independent entrances, and is distributed as follows: from an entrance hall where we immediately notice the garden, to the left is the kitchen connected to the spacious 36 sqm dining room, and to the right, the imposing 40 sqm living room, as well as the corridor leading to the private area of the house, with its three suites and guest bathroom.The dining and living rooms, both with direct access to the garden and swimming pool, allow for contemplation of the sublime view through their enormous pivoting doors that let in abundant light. The charm of high ceilings and ornate cornices combines with distinct high baseboards that finish the magnificent heated solid wood floor of the apartment. The dining room has a functional connection to the elegant marble-clad kitchen through doors that can be closed, individualizing the spaces, and also connected through the entrance hall. The luxurious and bright living room, in addition to the huge door to the garden, also has two doors to a balcony with an unobstructed view and to the office, also with a stunning view.The 30 sqm master suite features three windows, two of them to a balcony with a fantastic view, a spacious marble bathroom, and a closet. The other two suites both have closets, one with 18 sqm and the other with 19 sqm, both bathrooms in marble, with sinks carved from stone blocks and underfloor heating, as well as throughout the apartment. The entire apartment has built-in air conditioning.The magnificent garden with total privacy is on the hillside and is the result of engineering, architecture, and the owner's persistence, challenging what seemed impossible and creating a unique architectural work in the city. It was designed on two levels, with the lower level for garage space with a rotating platform for total comfort in maneuvering, and the upper level for garden and leisure. The pool rises from the lower floor on concrete pillars that look like sculptures, to align with the garden and offer the superb view of the castle and the houses on the hillside, in an amphitheater, as if it were a living painting, filled with sun during the day and the magical lights of the city at dusk.In this enchanted garden, in addition to the 270 view it offers, we find the pink lioz marble floor, with large carefully applied pieces, steps and stonework of whole blocks, and circular cuts that allow trees planted on the lower floor to grow towards the sky. In a slightly elevated area of the garden, you can recline to contemplate the view and the moon, in complete comfort, by the warmth of the fire pit located there.On the lower floor, completing the area between the majestic pillars of the pool, we find the dry sauna, wet sauna, and a gym, everything you need to make your day perfect.For total privacy of the owner and guests, there is a comfortable Guest House outside, this fully glazed contemporary element.20 minutes driving distance from Lyce Franais Charles Lepierre, Odd School, and Salesianos de Lisboa. 30 minutes from Cascais as well as from Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon.
