This week’s house of the week is a real feast for the eyes of opulent Portuguese décor. This former palace in Lumiar, a district of Lisbon, was completely renovated in 2010 but has original features which are thought to date back to the 18th century. Found within a private condominium of over 14,000m2, it is thought that property was part of the residence of the monarch, King John V of Portugal. A property fit for a king; it would be fair to say!
With its recent renovations, the former palace is now up to date with 21st century technology, renovated bathrooms, a kitchen equipped with top of the range appliances and the existing fireplaces combine with newly installed central heating for maximum comfort. Finished to the highest quality, this adds to the authentic and luxurious feel of the property.
As you enter the property, you are greeted by a grand entrance hall complete with exquisite tiles and beautiful details, before being led to several large living, dining, games and music rooms. Each room holds its own character and charm, and oozes luxury and wealth wherever you look.
There are 5 suites meaning there is plenty of space for guests who can also enjoy the aristocratic elegance offered by every detail in this house. Adding to this, there is an adjoining chapel with rich aesthetic details and several outbuildings, again luxuriously decorated with yet more traditional Portuguese tiles.
This is a spectacular house which is simply bursting with history and personality. Every room tells its own story and if this isn’t enough, you can also enjoy the luscious green gardens and the large outdoor pool in the equally impressive outdoor surroundings. All of this can be yours if you want to feel like royalty and is for sale on idealista for 7,500,000 euros.
