Set just a short stroll from the riverbank, this home is right in the thick of things. On a road lined with tall period buildings, with Infante Dom Henrique Park just steps away, it's in a bustling part of town with shops, restaurants and attractions on your doorstep. Perfect for a family or a small group of friends, the spacious apartment overlooks the street below – there's even a typical narrow balcony for you to people watch from. Inside, it's been fully modernised so character features like the exposed stone walls, parquet floors and shuttered French doors are paired with a sleek, contemporary kitchen, all-white walls and modern furnishings. Both bedrooms have that most sought-after of features – a comfy bed – and there's access to the balcony from each of them.
