Description

In one of the most emblematic and identity-laden streets in the city of Porto you'll find this extraordinary classic townhouse, where history and elegance coexist in perfect harmony. A house with soul, marked by the timeless charm of period architecture and the rare sensitivity with which it was carefully renovated around two years ago.

Throughout the generations, this house has preserved its distinctive character and historical importance, and is part of a vast documentary and archive study carried out by the current owner, thus perpetuating the memory of the house itself and its location. A true living testimony to the essence of Porto.

The renovation was carried out with deep respect for the original elements, keeping the authenticity of the building intact while introducing all the comforts and demands of contemporary life. The original woods were meticulously recovered and treated, the ceilings carefully replicated, and the finishes chosen reveal a rare balance between heritage and modern comfort. The completely new bathrooms have a contemporary and functional aesthetic, taking the living experience to the next level.

The distribution of spaces has been designed to provide fluidity, comfort and versatility. The villa has several dressing rooms and storage areas, offering practical solutions without compromising the elegance of the interiors.

The absolutely charming and private outdoor garden establishes a natural connection between the different areas of the house. It can be accessed either from the kitchen and dining room or from the ground floor, creating a perfect dynamic for socializing, al fresco dining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the city center. The two stone balconies facing the garden add even more character and romance to the property, making every view a real postcard.

The lower floor reveals enormous potential for use. With independent access, it could easily be converted into a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, ideal for receiving guests, creating a private area or even exploring an investment aspect. Alternatively, it could be fully integrated into the villa, functioning as a magnificent leisure and social area, already equipped with a kitchen and direct connection to the garden.

The middle floor has two bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, as well as the dining room with access to the garden and a large, bright kitchen.

On the top floor is one of the house's most special spaces: an elegant west-facing living room, flooded with natural light at the end of the day. The wood-burning stove adds comfort and a cozy atmosphere, while the small, glamorous tea preparation area adds an intimate and sophisticated touch, perfect for moments of pause and contemplation.

More than a villa, this is a house where every detail tells a story and where the past has been preserved to continue living in the present.
