Number 27 provides access to the main house. The impressive entrance hall leads to the principal floor, which has been sensitively restored, retaining panelling, stucco work, marble and wood effect. There are eleven rooms on this floor, including the vestibule/study, drawing room, large dining room, two bedrooms, a dressing room and two bathrooms, kitchen and separate pantry and a garden room. Close attention has been paid to lighting, mixing modern with vintage. The furnishings also mix new with old, including pieces from iconic modern designers and antique Portuguese furniture acquired from the former owner whose family purchased the townhouse in 1903, two years after it was built. The second floor has undergone a total reconfiguration. It provides a secondary kitchen, two large bedrooms, three bathrooms and an area that can be used for living/dining or as a further large bedroom. This floor retains high ceilings and has five doors, which give access to small external terraces which could be expanded on the garden side if desired. Heating and cooling for the townhouse are supplied by discrete air- conditioning on the ground floor, mezzanine and second floor. Electric wall-mounted panel radiators provide heating on the first floor for the few weeks it may be needed. The “jewel in the crown” is undoubtedly the most beautiful private garden accessed from the principal floor extending to 115 m². This exterior space has also undergone extensive renovation. It incorporates a large terrace for outside dining and an upper level containing a Mediterranean garden with cypress trees, an ancient olive tree and raised planting with rosemary and lavender. A heated pool with an inground polycarbonate electric cover and jets for resistance swimming has been installed. A further area is set aside for lounging in the Lisbon sun.
