1-Bedroom Duplex in Vila Nova de Gaia — Historic Elegance

This sophisticated 1-bedroom apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a residence that masterfully blends traditional Portuguese heritage with contemporary architectural precision. Located in the heart of Santa Marinha, the property is part of an exclusive restoration project involving two historic buildings. This assignment of contract allows a discerning buyer to secure a home in the most sought-after district of Vila Nova de Gaia, where the original façade's character meets the rigorous standards of modern high-end construction, ensuring both aesthetic beauty and long-term structural integrity.

The interior is defined by its dramatic double-height ceilings and vaulted features, which evoke a sense of grandeur and light. The ground floor features a seamless open-plan living area and a bespoke kitchen, designed for both entertaining and daily comfort. A stylish mezzanine level houses the bedroom, creating a private sanctuary that overlooks the living space. The north and east-facing orientation ensures the home is bathed in soft, natural light throughout the day, highlighting the clean lines and superior craftsmanship found in every corner of this unique duplex.

Technical excellence is at the forefront of the design, with premium materials selected for durability and style. The kitchen is fully fitted with Siemens appliances and Silestone quartz worktops, while solid oak flooring adds warmth to the living areas. Energy efficiency is a key priority, featuring a high-performance heat pump for water heating and advanced Midea air conditioning. With an energy rating of Class A and pre-installation for smart home systems, the property is perfectly equipped for a modern, sustainable lifestyle in one of the region's most vibrant settings.

Beyond the interior, the apartment boasts a private sixteen-square-meter terrace with tranquil views toward the Serra do Pilar, providing a perfect outdoor extension of the living space. The property includes a dedicated garage space with electric vehicle charging infrastructure and additional storage. Positioned just moments from the Jardim do Morro and the iconic D. Luís I Bridge, this home offers unparalleled connectivity to Porto. Contact us today to learn more about this exceptional residential opportunity, with completion scheduled for late 2026.
