Madeira, Funchal, Portugal

This historic manor house, possibly dating from 1921 (the year engraved in stones near the entrance) and officially registered in 1937, is a true refuge of charm and personality in the city of Funchal. With four floors and a privileged location, it offers unforgettable panoramic views over the sea, the bay, the fireworks, and the cruise ships entering the port — moments that make this home truly special.
The property has a gross private area of 510 m², 170 m² of auxiliary space, and is set on a generous 2520 m² plot with two easily accessible levels — the second of which is directly connected to the kitchen.
More than its architecture and interior spaces — which include five bedrooms (one en-suite), three full bathrooms and one guest WC, three spacious living rooms with fluid connections, and a functional kitchen with direct access to the garden — it is the atmosphere and feeling of this home that captivate most. There is something special about this property that makes every visitor feel welcomed and amazed.
In recent years, careful renovations have been carried out: new roof, complete repainting of the house, renovated bathroom on the upper floor, installation of a water heating system with heat pump and backup, three-phase electricity, as well as fiber-optic internet with Wi-Fi covering almost the entire house.
The organic skylight illuminating the central staircase is just one of the architectural details that give personality to this bright and lively space. The basement also offers a versatile area, ideal for laundry and an outdoor support space with a wood-fired oven, mini-fridge, and sink — perfect for meals and gatherings outdoors.
The land is one of the property's great assets: spacious, with flat and accessible areas, it offers multiple possibilities — from creating an orchard, garden, or private park, to the potential construction of a guest house, or even subdividing the plot for investment purposes (subject to municipal approvals). Additionally, the solar panel system with batteries allows the house to operate independently of the electrical grid on many days.
With a garage for two cars, a space currently used as a gym (which can be customized to the new owner's taste), an office, and several storage areas, this manor house offers scale, character, and a rare balance between tranquility, space, and centrality.
More than just a house, this is a property that provides a unique living experience. For those looking for something with soul, authenticity, and unforgettable views — this could be the right home.
