- Courtyard: adorned with traditional Portuguese cobblestone, disposes a hammock, a barbecue (charcoal not guaranteed) and a medlar tree that bears fruit at the end of summer.
- Living Room: decorated with cherish items like a leather sofa bed, an armchair and a Moroccan rug from Fes. On the shelf, discover a collection of board games (Cards Against Humanity, Trivial Pursuit and Jenga), a television, a Bluetooth speaker, a small heater, books and guides. The sofa bed when unfolded measures cm in size.
- Dining Room: next to the living room, has a purely decorative fireplace with no operational functionality.
- Kitchen: completely equipped and open to the dining room.
- Bathroom: modern, fully equipped, that shares its space with the toilet facilities.
- Staircase: considered the crown jewel, this unique iron staircase is a marvel of design, requiring agility and perhaps a touch of acrobatics. It's important to note that it may be a challenge for people with limited mobility, children, the elderly and for carrying suitcases. This stairs have replaced the previously installed ladder, offering better functionality and aesthetics.
- Bedroom: located on the first floor with stair access, is furnished with a cm bed (Emma Hybrid mattress purchased in September 2022), illuminated by two Velux windows (with blackout blinds) and possesses multiple cupboards built into the wall. Inside you will find a heater and a dehumidifier. Please note that the roof of this room is slanted, so we advise you to be mindful of the height of your head.
Other things to note:
- The bedroom is accessed by innovative designed stairs with a slightly slanted central column, which may pose challenges for individuals with reduced mobility, children and the elderly. There are also stairs just after the courtyard entrance gate. Please consider this for accessibility.
- There is no air conditioning in the house. I rely on natural ventilation to keep the space comfortable during the warmer months.
- The bedroom has a tiled floor and the rest of the floors are covered in microcement, a water-sensitive material that requires specific care, as do all the wooden finishes in the house.

One of the advantages here is the proximity of Lisbon and the international airport, just 20 minutes away. So you can enjoy the peace of a coastal city without sacrificing access to city life.
The house is situated in a well-located neighborhood, quiet and safe.
