Apartment T6 in Lisboa with elevator

A blank canvas in Lisbon's prime center: A historic apartment in one of the city's most exclusive areas, featuring 270 m².

Set within an iconic building showcasing early 20th-century bourgeois eclecticism, this apartment combines generous proportions, high ceilings, and well-preserved original architectural features. Having been used in recent years as an office, it retains all its original residential character fully intact — the technical trunking currently suspended from the ceilings was installed without causing any impact or damage to the ornate plasterwork and moldings.

As a decisive advantage, the restoration works for the building’s main facade, rear facade, and roof have already been approved and awarded by the condominium. This provides the ideal setting to design the interior to your exact taste, aligning your private renovation with the comprehensive value appreciation of the building.

Architecture, History, and Construction Details

This neighborhood established itself at the turn of the 20th century as one of the capital's most prestigious expansion axes, attracting the era's bourgeoisie and aristocracy. The building reflects this rich heritage: a structured carved stone facade paired with Art Nouveau-inspired wrought-iron balconies.

In the common areas, the standout feature is the original cage elevator. Crafted from detailed wrought iron with a wooden cab and period upholstery, it is a rare piece of early 20th-century engineering that remains fully operational, serving as the building's signature entrance feature.

The interior layout follows the classic tradition of 1900s grand Lisbon homes, arranged with interconnecting rooms linked by double wooden doors to maximize natural light across both building fronts. The ceilings preserve intricate floral plaster motifs and rosettes unique to each room, while the kitchen retains its original stone-framed fireplace and pattern tiles — offering a true historic blank canvas for those who value heritage in restoration.
