Lisbon, Cascais, Portugal

Located in the heart of Monte Estoril, Villa Edith is a beautifully restored early 20th-century chalet that combines period character with modern comfort. What makes this home particularly rare is its ability to offer both a highly walkable lifestyle—within easy reach of the beach, cafés, restaurants, and local amenities—and the privacy of a mature garden, heated swimming pool, secure parking, and a home of architectural distinction.
Original azulejo tiles, period woodwork, fireplaces, generous proportions, and ceiling heights of approximately 3.2 metres reflect the property's heritage while creating a warm and elegant living environment.
The house offers approximately 565 m² of gross built area across four levels on a private plot of around 500 m². Accommodation includes six bedrooms, an exceptional principal suite, and separate staff quarters. Predominantly south-facing, the property enjoys excellent natural light and increasingly expansive sea views from the upper floors.
The landscaped gardens extend across approximately 250 m² and provide a secluded setting despite the central location. Outdoor spaces are arranged around a heated saltwater swimming pool and include several terraces, together with a deck and outdoor fireplace for year-round enjoyment.
The entrance level is dedicated to reception and everyday living, with drawing and dining rooms, a bar, breakfast room, fully equipped kitchen, pantry, and laundry. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character.
The intermediate floor comprises a family sitting room, two en-suite bedrooms, a kitchenette, and an office suite with fireplace that could easily be converted into an additional en-suite bedroom. A south-facing balcony spans the floor and enjoys attractive sea views.
The upper floor is devoted to the principal suite, which includes dual walk-in wardrobes, separate bathrooms, and dedicated living and study areas.
Additional features include a lift serving all floors, integrated heating and cooling, extensive storage, staff accommodation, dedicated workspaces, and a secure two-car garage.
Villa Edith is within walking distance of the beach, seafront promenade, Jardim dos Passarinhos, restaurants, cafés, and everyday services. Opportunities to acquire a period home of this scale and character, with gardens, a pool, parking, and such a central Monte Estoril location, are increasingly rare.
