Property of the week: an expansive villa with views of the Tagus

The district of Belém, on the outskirts of Lisbon, is one of the most desireable areas in all of Portugal to buy a home, outside the bustle of the city-centre, but still close enough to enjoy easy access to all of its services with beautiful natural landscapes, beaches, parklands, and historically important sites, all within a short distance. This week's property, a spacious villa with views of the Tagus, is located in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the district, perfectly located to take advantage of all of these benfits, while still offering a high degree of security and privacy for your family.

The villa offers a whopping 350m2 of built space spread out over its four floors, and also includes an impressive 933m2 plot of land, more than you might expect so close to the city centre, beautifully landscaped into quite an impressive garden, with tropical trees, decked walkways, and a sizeable pool. There are a total of 6 bedrooms and six bathrooms in the home, in addition to the abundance of living space on offer.

As you enter the villa on the ground floor, beyond the entrance hall you will find the main living room of the home. This large space has tons of room to host guests, and a homely feel, comfortably furnished and complete with a beautiful stone fireplace. Off of this space there is a lovely kitchen, finished top to bottom in wood, and with a huge amount of storage. The kitchen in turn leads to a cozy dining room, complete with its own wood-burning stove. Both the dining room and the living room have direct access through french doors to the garden and terrace spaces outside.

Climbing the beautiful hardwood staircase in the living room we can reach the higher floors. The six bedrooms are spread over the three remaining floors, each with access to the expansive terraces overlooking the garden on each level, with the spacious master suite on the top level including an en-suite bathroom as well as the best views in the house. In addition, the second floor also includes a second living room, which given its height and the floor to ceiling windows out to the large terrace, is absolutely flooded with light, and boasts impressive views out over the Tagus. 

This property would make a beautiful family home, right outside Lisbon's city centre, in one of the most private, secure neightbourhoods in the city. Opportunities to buy a home as well finished and spacious as this, in such an exclusive area, do not come up every day, so if this looks like your future home, don't wait to act. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 7,000,000 euros.
