A Unique Loft Space for Sale in One of Lisbon’s Most Charming Neighbourhoods
Sitting quietly on a street near Santa Apolónia Station in the historical area of São Vicente de Fora, is a magnificent south-facing ground floor loft unit. With a floor to ceiling height of 4.28m, the sense of space is absolutely breathtaking when you walk in through a deceptively unassuming front door. Spanning a usable area of 102m² with warm-toned concrete floors and exposed pipes, the space merges a sense of rustic charm with industrial chic. You would be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into a New York Warehouse apartment. It is rare to find such a style of property in Lisbon…
Lovingly and artfully renovated by the highly creative owner a few years ago, the property currently has a commercial license. It has been laid out in a versatile way and would lend itself well to a creative business, whether it’s a restaurant or café, wellness space, cookery show stage, art studio, designer’s atelier or art gallery… Of course, it could also be turned into a beautiful home and wonderful entertaining space, subject to approval from the City Hall’s urban planning department. The space is very inspiring and the possibilities are endless. It should also be mentioned that all high-spec kitchen appliances and furniture may be included with the purchase.
About the São Vicente Neighbourhood:
Situated next to Alfama, arguably Lisbon’s most historical neighbourhood, São Vicente de Fora has many attractions such as the Miradouro da Graça viewpoint, the famous Feira da Ladra (Lisbon’s main flea market), the National Tile Museum and the iconic nightclub, Lux Frágil. The Feira da Ladra is on on Tuesdays and Saturdays and you will also find an organic farmer’s market in the neighbouring Jardim Botto Machado every Saturday.
While the loft space is walking distance from the river and city centre, there are also several wonderful cafés and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Just to list a few local recommendations…
