Andaluz 11 — Three-Bedroom Duplex, 188.8 m² | Santo António, Lisbon

Some buyers are looking for an address. Others are looking for a place that doesn’t repeat itself. This duplex at Andaluz 11 is for those who have already lived in the „new and well-located” apartment and realised that alone is no longer enough, buyers who want a building with history, on a street that resisted the expansion of the city, without giving up the comfort and construction quality of a contemporary project.

Rua de Andaluz is one of the last streets with a medieval layout to survive Lisbon’s late 19th-century urban expansion, calm traffic, human scale, just minutes on foot from Parque Eduardo VII and Avenida da Liberdade. It’s living in the centre without living in the middle of it.
Building No. 11, dating from the 19th century, was rehabilitated under a simple principle: building the new from the old. Lioz stone, solid wood flooring, timber window frames, a careful dialogue between the building’s original character and today’s standards of comfort.
Spread across the 2nd and 3rd floors, this duplex is thoughtfully organised.

On the lower floor, the living room and kitchen open onto the traditional tiled façades of the street with generous natural light, a balcony extending the interior. The kitchen, fitted with SMEG appliances and Water Evolution fixtures, serves both everyday living and entertaining. This floor also holds an en-suite bedroom, offering the rare possibility of living both social and private spaces on the same level ideal for guests, or for anyone who values not climbing stairs every day.
Upstairs, more secluded, are the remaining two bedrooms, benefiting from the ceiling heights and roofline that only a duplex in a historic building can offer. A floor designed for rest, finished to the same standard as the floor below: solid wood flooring, timber window frames, central heating and cooling throughout.

The property is completed by a 24.8 m² storage room and two garage parking spaces, a detail that makes all the difference in daily life in central Lisbon.
The result is a 188.8 m² home that goes beyond its three-bedroom typology: it proposes a way of living, social and versatile downstairs, intimate upstairs, always carrying the mark of a building that has crossed more than a century of the city’s history.
