Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

Set on Avenida Dom Carlos I, in the heart of Misericórdia, this duplex penthouse brings together the character of central Lisbon with a sense of space, light and privacy that is increasingly rare in the city.

Arranged across two floors, the 151 m² residence comprises two bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a layout that separates the more private areas from the generous living spaces. The upper level forms the heart of the home, with an open and naturally bright living area connected to a semi-open kitchen and access to the terraces.

The outdoor spaces are among its defining features. From here, the view extends across Lisbon towards the Tagus, the 25 de Abril Bridge and Cristo Rei, creating a changing backdrop throughout the day - from the clear light of the afternoon to the softer tones of sunset and the city lights after dark.

The location adds another layer to the property. Time Out Market, Cais do Sodré and the riverfront are all within walking distance, while the surrounding streets offer a mix of restaurants, cafés, local shops and everyday amenities. The future Santos metro station will be located just a short distance from the building.

Residents also benefit from a private gym and daytime concierge service, with public parking available directly outside.

The result is a home that reflects a particular side of Lisbon: central and connected, yet removed enough from the pace of the city to feel calm. A considered combination of architecture, outdoor space and location, with the river and the city forming a natural part of everyday life.
