A Secret Retreat in Graça, 2-Bedroom Apartment with Private Garden in a Historic 1889 Building

On the highest hill in Lisbon, where some of the city’s most beautiful viewpoints seem to compete for the best view, a rare secret awaits you, now ready to be discovered: an extraordinary two-bedroom apartment with 71.72 m², opening onto a lush and secluded 41 m² private Mediterranean garden.

This apartment is the result of a fortunate blend between the charm and elegance of its original design and the sophistication of a full renovation completed in 2023, carefully conceived to preserve the soul of a building dating back to 1889. The project managed to reinforce the architectural character of the building, preserving its original facade while creating a new interior structure allowing for functional, modern and bright apartments.

The façade, clad in tiles by the historic Viúva Lamego, stands as a testimony to Lisbon’s architectural identity. The intervention respected this legacy, integrating the renewal of essential infrastructure, namely plumbing, water networks and electrical installation, while incorporating today’s standards of comfort and safety.
Located on Rua da Verónica, in Graça, this apartment is a true retreat in the heart of the city, where tranquillity, privacy and natural beauty coexist in surprising harmony.
The layout was carefully designed to provide comfort, functionality and fluidity. The en-suite bedroom, set apart from the social area, offers an intimate and serene atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen connects naturally with the living room, creating a bright and inviting space. The second bedroom, currently used as a living room and office, adds versatility to the home, which also has a second bathroom.

But it is the garden that truly sets this apartment apart. Designed by a landscape architect, this 41 m² private outdoor space is the home’s true highlight:
Inspired by the Mediterranean landscape, it brings together a carefully selected variety of plant species that give it beauty, character and a singular atmosphere throughout the seasons.
The jasmines, with their delicate white flowers in spring, and the gardenias add fragrance and romance to the garden. The olive tree and lemon tree evoke the Mediterranean essence, while the elegant Italian cypresses introduce verticality and enhance the sense of intimacy.

The result is a green, enveloping and remarkably sheltered setting that unfolds as a natural extension of the social area.

A space to enjoy breakfast outdoors, long conversations at the end of the day, or simply the privilege of being surrounded by nature in the heart of Lisbon.

The nobility of the materials and respect for history. The choice of materials reveals exceptional attention to detail and a profound respect for the building’s identity. Marble, lioz stone, French oak flooring and the restoration of original elements evoke the history and nobility of the construction, establishing a harmonious dialogue between past and present.
The entire intervention, both inside and out, was developed by an architect, ensuring a coherent aesthetic language and a careful enhancement of each space.
The interior design project complements this vision, making full use of the apartment’s architectural beauty through a careful selection of furniture, materials and decorative elements.

There is also the possibility of purchasing the apartment furnished, by agreement, allowing the atmosphere and identity that make this home so special to be preserved.

Contemporary comfort is present in every detail as well, with air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, where functionality meets good taste and refinement.
