Architectural Residence

Townhouse with authentic Algarve architecture for sale in Tavira, featuring a rooftop terrace, private patio, Bulthaup kitchen and premium finishes.

Some homes simply offer a place to live. Others tell a story.

Hidden within the charming historic centre of Tavira, just moments from the picturesque Gilão River, this remarkable architect-designed townhouse is a rare opportunity to own a home where Portuguese heritage meets contemporary luxury. 

From the moment you step inside, the exceptional sense of space becomes immediately apparent. Sunlight pours through the impressive double-height living area, where a magnificent seven-metre traditional Algarvian cana ceiling celebrates the region's architectural identity while seamlessly blending with modern design. Expansive four-metre UV-protected sliding security doors open onto a peaceful private patio, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The beautifully appointed open-plan Bulthaup kitchen forms the heart of the home, offering refined design and premium functionality for everyday living and entertaining alike. Across the patio, a separate studio currently arranged as a home office, together with an additional bathroom, provides exceptional flexibility for remote working, creative pursuits or welcoming guests in complete privacy.

A sculptural wooden staircase leads to the upper level, where a stylish mezzanine overlooks the living space before revealing the elegant principal suite, creating a private sanctuary filled with natural light and understated luxury.

Above it all, the rooftop terrace invites you to embrace the celebrated Algarve lifestyle.

Built in 2017, this property has been thoughtfully designed to preserve Tavira's architectural heritage through traditional reixa doors, an iconic Moorish-inspired feature unique to the region.
