Apartment T1 in Lisboa with elevator

A home overlooking Benfica, ready for a new story.

On the top floor of a building on Avenida do Uruguai, this one-bedroom apartment was for decades the caretaker's home: the quiet heart of the building, from where the comings and goings of every resident were followed. Now it is waiting for someone to write its next chapter.

With 54 m² of usable area (64.59 m² gross private area), it comprises an entrance hall, living room, bedroom, kitchen with and a full bathroom. The kitchen opens onto a long balcony where light pours in throughout the day and the view stretches across the rooftops of the neighbourhood. It needs renovation, and that is where the opportunity lies: you can design every room to suit you, whether as a first home, a city retreat or a rental investment.

Benfica has a history you can still feel in its streets. From the 18th century it was a land of country estates, where wealthy Lisbon families came for fresh air and open landscapes, and it only became part of the city in 1886. That heritage shaped its neighbourhood character: the Estrada de Benfica with its traditional shops, the old villas and palaces that have stood the test of time, and Monsanto Forest Park, Lisbon's great green lung, much of it within the parish. Benfica also gave its name to one of the best-known football clubs in the world, whose stadium is just next door.

Today, that neighbourhood soul comes with everything you need day to day: schools, services, the Colombo shopping centre a few minutes away and the Alto dos Moinhos and Colégio Militar/Luz metro stations, with quick links to the city centre. An area in constant demand, whether to live in or to invest.
