This is not a house - it ́s the beautiful backdrop of stories of the past and the future waiting to unfold - a truly unique property.
In a rarely seen combination, the owners of this historical 19th century mansion have fused talent, diligence, impeccable taste and passion to refurb and restore this outstanding property in the heart of Abrantes. Respecting history and legacy while infusing the entire building with the blessings of modern living has been key to all the hard, yet loving work of the last years. Blending the best of the old with the new has created an elegant yet cozy, magnificent yet manageable home.
The mansion is spread out over two (and a half ) floors and constitutes a fine example of the architectural style of its time, with a facade made of plastered and painted white masonry and a façade adorned with tiles.
Entering the mansion from the street, the double doors open upon a spacious hall adorned with small rectangular ceramic tiles. This beautifully illuminated space leads to the garden in the back, the upper floor and the individual small (guest or rent) apartment units left and right of the main hall which both have en suite bedrooms, a living room and kitchenette.
Ascending to the first floor on the original broad hardwood staircase, the sunlight enters and breaks through the large original mosaic hallway window that oozes of charm of days gone by. The first floor interconnects three huge salons, each painted and decorated in distinctive color palettes. The ceilings stuck is a true standout element of every room - the high ceilings feature the original craft which has been delicately and lovingly reinvigorated to its original charm and delicacy and the original hardwood floors create warmth and texture. Two individual fireplaces make for comfortable evenings and gatherings - yet a newly central heating system allows for all creature comforts at the push of a button.
To the side of the garden, a splendid dining room opens up to the first floor terrace, overlooking the beautiful garden that features old citrus, olive and palm trees and an eclectic mix of high growing trees and bushes that make for complete privacy in the middle of the city. Spanning 443 square meters, the garden incorporated an impeccably placed lap pool, a vine covered pergola and outside social and dining area - the future home od light and breezy social gatherings. Spread out over the spacious garden and sunlit terrace, the convivial space is perfectly organized for hosting simply enjoying sun drenched morning, lunches and evenings on the terrace. The new, industrial-grade stainless steel sun kitchen, complemented by traditional tiled walls, also seamlessly merges with the outside terrace and the dining salon. Fluidity and playful movement is guaranteed throughout the mansion.
The first floor further accommodates three large, sun drenched elegant bedrooms and two fully refurbished bathrooms tastefully tiled. From here, you can also access the attic which features an additional bedroom and ample storage area.
This mansion is located in the city of Abrantes, less than 90 minutes from Lisbon. Combining history, culture, and natural beauty alongside the river Tejo, Abrantes is a proper city in its own right with flourishing equestrian and cultural tourism, a solid health and scholar infrastructure and industry. A true pearl along the river, Abrantes boasts history, culture, and an impeccable strategic location.
