Located in the heart of Porto, on the renowned Rua do Almada, this sophisticated garden apartment brings together a rare harmony between heritage and contemporary living. Set within a newly built residence, discreetly positioned behind a restored historic façade, the 146.9 m² property offers a lifestyle that blends the city’s vibrant energy with the serenity of a private retreat.
The apartment was designed with deep respect for its surroundings — modern architecture and amenities seamlessly adapted to the timeless character of the original structure, a former 19th-century piano workshop. Access is through the historic entrance, via lift or stairs, providing a daily connection to Porto’s architectural heritage.
What truly sets this apartment apart is the smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. In the main living area, large glass doors open onto a generous deck, extending the living space outdoors. This fluid layout, which almost doubles the usable area, creates the perfect setting for relaxed mornings, leisurely lunches or quiet afternoons immersed in a good book. In the main suite, a Japanese-inspired garden frames the deck, bringing a calm, natural element to urban living.
Inside, the apartment exudes a warm yet sophisticated character, where every detail is intentional. Acacia cabinetry adds richness and depth, while premium fixtures and finishes elevate the space with understated elegance. The result is an interior that honours tradition while embracing modern comfort, achieving a perfect balance between timeless charm and contemporary design.
Completing its appeal, the property features three full bathrooms, each carefully designed with high-quality fixtures and finishes that ensure comfort and style. The main suite offers a particularly unique advantage: with its own private access and garden, it can function as an independent unit, providing flexibility for guests, family members or even a separate rental opportunity.
Located just steps from Porto’s best cafés, shops and cultural hotspots, yet offering a peaceful garden sanctuary, this apartment is equally suited as a refined residence or a solid investment.
With its distinctive character, private outdoor retreat and unparalleled location, this is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special home in the centre of Porto.
