This century-old house, in the center of Oporto, sheltered several generations. It saw the last one grow, who used every corner to play with, celebrate birthdays, study at day and night, and spent sunny afternoons on the porch enjoying and, over time, and introduced it to a new generation.
"The Mansion" is now available for you to create new memories within its walls so you can call it home.

Purchased in 1998, the house was completely restored keeping the original ceiling and front as well as the traditional tiles.

In its total 735m2, 335m2 correspond to the garden and, the other 400m2, are divided between 10 divisions and 5 bathrooms.
The house has a total of three halls, one on each floor. The stairs are wide, lined with a railing with detailed arms which are close enough to guarantee the safety of children.
The room has a total of 36m2 and is divided into living and dining room by an arc characteristic of the traditional houses of Porto.
The living room is heated in the winter by the fireplace and in the summer by the light coming from the garden. The dining room has the perfect size for family dinners and is a small hallway away from the kitchen and one step from the porch and the garden.
The high ceilings of the first two floors give the rooms a greater sense of space.
The original features of the living room ceiling, recovered to detail, give a Victorian touch to the room.
The kitchen, with more than 20m2, was completely remodeled after purchasing the house. The furniture has simple, modern lines without contrasting with the traditional surroundings. The long counters allow for an extensive work space, as well as storage space.
The second floor consists of a small hall which gives access to two bedrooms and a small hallway giving access to one of the bathrooms.
This room is about 30m2 and has direct access to a bathroom with shower (the same that can be accessed through the corridor). The windows along the wall allow for plenty of light, ideal for studying or working.
This room , with about 30m2, has a private suite with a bathtub. The room had two divisions, the first being used as living room or dressing room.
The sunroom is attached to the Parents's room via two access points. It has plenty of room not only for the laundry machines but also for the ironing board and sewing table. Through the balcony there is access to laundry ropes which receive light from the garden side
The third floor of the house has three rooms, a full bathroom and storage space.
On this floor we can see up close the skylight that illuminates the entire interior of the house.
This room is perfect for visitors. The whole floor can act as an indepent space since it contains a full bathroom, two support rooms and plenty of storage space. The skylight installed in the room allows those who stay there to have access to natural light and control the temperature on the hot days.
This space is currently being used as a recreation space for the younger generation and as time machine to the older. The photos do no justice to the space and storage size of the room.
This room was transformed into a small plant laboratory thanks to the botanical talent of the youngest. It has the direct sunlight from the garden and it can be used as an office.
The game room is the ideal place to entertain the little ones (and wake the inner child of the older) during the holidays. Direct access from the main entrance and the distance from the other rooms allows for whoever plays to be as loud as possible without disturbing the whole house.
The office has direct access to the garden, ideal not only to maintain the concentration but also for small breaks from work.
This office is attached to the previous one, with an entrance from the house and another from garden. It allows each member of the household to have its independent workspace.
The garden is the crown jewel of this century-old house. With 335m2 this garden is an oasis in the middle of city.
The Greenhouse in the center of the garden is perfect for mantaining sensative botanical species and was the hoste of an enviable bonsai collection. Made in glass and metal, it makes the most of the natural light and garden sights.
This house is located in the middle of the city of Porto, near Constituição. It has access to the highway and public transports (bus and subway).
