Its rooms, spacious and with very high ceilings, are distributed in three levels including the attic. Original architectural details and carefully selected materials lend the property a timeless appeal, while its robust structure offers ample possibilities for customization. We access the property from the street and into a hall connecting to a spacious living room to the right and an office to the left. From the hallway and straight ahead we find a long corridor facing the staircase and giving access to the rear of this large building. To the left of the staircase, we find the kitchen area, and from here we can step out into an ample porch and a patio that are in turn connected to the backyard. The stylish staircase in this house permits access to the first and second floors, where we find a total of eight spacious rooms facing the front and back of the property. The last level is an attic which is currently used as a storage area, but due to the size of these spaces they could eventually become additional living areas. The villa’s distribution allows for a variety of layouts to suit personal preferences and needs. The rooms in the house have large windows, allowing in abundant sunlight. Those oriented towards the front of the property have exceptional views of the river, the Atlantic Ocean and the undulating landscapes in Portugal. The property includes a large plot surrounded by greenery, offering a peaceful and scenic backdrop. The proximity of both the sea and the mountains ensures an enviable quality of life. This villa presents an opportunity to craft a masterpiece that honours its rich history while introducing contemporary comforts.
