Discover Lisbon's Hidden Gem: The Perfect Urban Oasis on Calçada dos Mestre

From the 1930s to the 1950s, there was a planned urban expansion in various areas of Lisbon. These neighborhoods, which the Estado Novo ordered and planned as economically constructed, are famous, and Calçada dos Mestres is no exception. What does Calçada dos Mestres have that nobody else has? Well, you don't come across housing neighborhoods where you can walk to the Charles Lepierre French High School and the Amoreiras Shopping Center, or to Eduardo VII Park and El Corte Inglés every day, do you? And if you add a monument that blesses your sunbathing sessions on the terrace and becomes the centerpiece of all the barbecues you decide to have, what do you get? The Aqueduct of Free Waters will love to receive more families who feel its presence and are proud of the unique setting in the style of tourism postcards that it can bring you (but it's not from a trip to Italy, it's right here from your home).

That being said, let's get to the point, shall we? When I mention in the video that this house is a cheat, it's because it's currently in the process of applying for a usage license. Cut this sentence because you don't have to wait anymore. That's right! You don't have to buy and go through years of wear and tear and then arrive here exhausted. You can enter a code into your favorite game and you're already "beating" the final boss. Forget about changes to the project, forget about construction, forget about the CM Lisboa asking you to file 3 centimeters off the gate. The owners have already had that "war" and today they have obtained one of the few houses that fully complies with the most demanding requests of the CM Lisboa and has a license to be issued right away. HOW GREAT IS THAT?

As for the house itself, it was built anew with special attention to a fluid living space with almost total open space on the ground floor and the maximum exponent of interior/exterior connection that you can achieve here. Yes, when you receive family and friends, this interior design allows for constant communication between the areas that are the heart of any good house. While cooking, you can drink red wine without losing the conversation with those in the living room and those outside. You can even correct the children, and if you're like my mother and have good aim, a shoe might even fly. Why? Because it's all in open space. You have three levels of terrace that suggest three different uses depending on the intimacy/dynamics you want to give them. The ground floor serves as an extension of the interior and for meals and socializing, the middle for entertainment or installing a barbecue area (just as we see in movies), and the upper level serves as a solarium or, if you decide so, a future bathing area (but that's up to you).

The option of not "cannibalizing" space on the lot makes the utilization of this house explode, and in my opinion, it is the greatest asset. The terrace areas also distribute waste disposal, storage, and parking areas. The first floor distributes three bedrooms, two singles with built-in wardrobes, and a suite with an entrance closet and a bathroom with translucent glass to allow maximum light. There is also a bathroom, and both on this floor have windows. The second floor is a cozy attic with natural light and storage space, where the water tank, heated with the solar panel system.

I believe that if you're not careful with the access, you can end up wherever you want, because this location is so convenient. And as I said, you live in the city, just a few minutes' walk from Praça de Espanha, Parque Eduardo VII, and Amoreiras. Could it get any better than that?
