2-bedroom apartment with balcony in central Lisbon in Arroios, 3 minutes from the metro

It is precisely on Rua da Palmira, at number 28, a 3-minute walk from Anjos Metro Station, in Arroios, that the story of this unique development begins, and perhaps the story of your next home.

This early 20th-century building is fully clad in hand-painted period tiles and features ornate wrought-iron balconies. But rest assured: the authenticity and age of the building we are presenting in no way compromise the comfort, convenience, or quality of the rehabilitation it has undergone, ensuring that its new resident enjoys all the sophistication that only modernity can offer.

This apartment, located on the 2nd floor of a building with five floors above ground and one below, with only 7 units, has 98 sqm of gross private area and an additional 10 sqm elegant balcony. It has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one of them en suite. The living room features two large doors opening onto the spacious balcony, providing excellent natural light and a pleasant sense of openness. The space is integrated in an open-plan layout with the kitchen, fully equipped with Smeg appliances and complemented by elegant wooden cabinets. All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

Palmira 28 stands out for its luxury finishes and the combination of Lisbon’s tradition with contemporary comfort. In the common areas, Lioz stone and pine flooring enhance the building’s historic identity. Inside the apartments, bamboo flooring creates a natural, warm, and sophisticated atmosphere, complemented by marble finishes, including Ibiza marble in some units.

The result is a rehabilitation that preserves the building’s original character while incorporating high-quality contemporary materials and solutions.

But it is the area surrounding this building that is its greatest asset. Located in Bairro Andrade, created at the end of the 19th century by Manuel Gonçalves Pereira d’Andrade, the name Palmira comes from the fact that Palmira was the name of the founder’s daughter.

In this neighborhood, you will find all kinds of commerce, typical of a lively and dynamic area, both traditional and modern, typical and cosmopolitan.

Here, things are made to last. How else could we find, on the same street, a unique “lamp hospital,” a dressmaker, a photographer, and a bookstore?

Among the typical taverns, you’ll find brunch spots and coworking spaces serving smoothies and smash burgers. But of course, a traditional hardware store could not be missing, right at the intersection with Rua do Forno do Tijolo.

The old and the new coexist well here. Nothing feels instant or superficial.

It is noon when the punctual bells of the Church of Nossa Senhora dos Anjos are heard, announcing the end of the morning and the approach of lunchtime. In the Nepali craft shop, the pace remains indifferent to the clock, as they do not close for lunch and end up eating something there.

Going up the adjacent street, Rua Maria Andrade, we reach the Arroios Swimming Pool, which is right inside the Mercado do Forno do Tijolo, where you can still find a wide range of services: Lidl, a reading room, CTT, the Ephemera cultural association...

But if we keep going uphill for about eight more minutes, we reach the Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte, to enjoy a little romance with the stunning Lisbon skyline at our feet...

There are many more stories to tell... but above all, come and create your own life story here!

For those who want to live in an authentic and vibrant neighborhood atmosphere, this may be the best place in the world to live in Lisbon.
