Studio apartment in Porto's Historic Center - Taipas 85

Located in one of the most emblematic areas of Porto’s historic centre, Rua das Taipas 85 is an exclusive rehabilitation project that combines the charm of traditional architecture with the sophistication of contemporary construction.

Scheduled for completion in the summer of 2028, this development preserves the building’s historic façade while fully renovating the interiors to provide high standards of comfort, efficiency and quality of life.

The development was designed as a true urban retreat, offering residents distinctive common areas such as a coworking space and bicycle parking, and the project’s main highlight is an exclusive private rooftop / panoramic viewpoint set atop the historic medieval (Fernandina) wall (14th century). From this exclusive terrace, the view embraces the historic hillsides of Porto, extends to the riverbanks and wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, and follows the serene course of the Douro River. A panoramic setting framed by the sky, perfect for slowing down at the end of the day and contemplating the unique light of a city that breathes history.

An exclusive collection of studios and family apartments, where each layout has been carefully planned to maximize natural light, contemporary comfort and functionality; therefore, the smaller units include private storage areas, an added value that optimizes space and practicality in the home.

This unit has 38 m2 of usable area, is on the 1st floor, faces west, and includes a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, as well as access to an outdoor area for the unit’s use, as shown on the floor plan. It also includes an additional 3 m2 storage room on the building’s ground floor.

The finishes reflect a high level of quality and attention to detail. Highlights include solid Riga Nova wood flooring, fully equipped kitchens with Siemens iQ300 appliances, Silestone countertops, wooden window frames with high-performance thermal and acoustic double glazing, air conditioning, certified security doors, reinforced thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as bathrooms fitted with ROCA wall-hung sanitaryware, minimalist-design taps and internationally recognized materials.

Rua das Taipas 85 represents a unique opportunity for those seeking to live in the heart of Porto or invest in a property of high architectural quality, where the city’s authenticity is combined with the comfort and standards of contemporary living.
