Rua de Atalia Chiado, 1200-037 Lisboa

Some homes are places you live in. Others let you live the whole city. This is the second kind. In the heart of Bairro Alto, this 2-bedroom occupies the 3rd and top floor of a building with just four apartments one per level, with a lift (a rarity for homes of this kind in the neighbourhood). The condominium is well organised and beautifully kept. Inside: two bedrooms facing the quiet inner courtyard, one of them en-suite. The second, more tucked-away room makes an ideal home office or guest room perfect for anyone working from home. The generous living room opens onto an American-style kitchen, a bright, sociable space with high ceilings. The shower bathroom has a window for natural ventilation and the apartment also features air conditioning (heating/cooling and dehumidifying) and a utility area with washing machine and water heater. On the courtyard side, the private balcony faces west: the right spot for a drink at the end of the day, in the warm light of the sunset. As the top floor, it sits above the rooftops, with no facing neighbours. And outside, it's all at your door: Príncipe Real with its boutiques, gardens and restaurants, and all the energy of Bairro Alto yet with the calm of being at the very top. The perfect setting for a young couple, a creative professional, or anyone who has chosen to live Lisbon from anywhere. #ref:0483
