In Arroios, one of Lisbon’s most authentic areas, this second-floor apartment on Rua Cidade de Cardiff stands out for its versatility: with 98.5 m² of gross floor area and generous 3.10 m ceilings, it is currently configured as a three-bedroom apartment, but can also be adapted into a very spacious two-bedroom apartment, with generous rooms and truly ample living areas. It is a home that gives the buyer the freedom to configure it according to their needs — family life, working from home or larger social spaces.
In the Bairro de Inglaterra district, the property preserves the character and elegance of Lisbon architecture — a façade covered in traditional tiles, wrought-iron balconies, high ceilings and wooden floors — elements that give it a unique and timeless identity. Renovated in 2020, it combines the charm of period features with the comfort and functionality of a contemporary home; the renovation did not erase the property’s personality, but enhanced it. The kitchen and bathroom are the best examples of this modernity: both were renovated in a contemporary style, and the kitchen is fully fitted with Bosch appliances.
The two large living rooms (23.12 m² and 24.28 m²) offer different possibilities for use and are particularly appealing to those seeking a two-bedroom apartment with generous social spaces. The current three-bedroom configuration retains three bedrooms (14.58 m², 14.52 m² and 14.61 m²), offering flexibility for family use, an office or a guest room. This freedom of configuration is perhaps the property’s greatest advantage: each buyer can shape it according to their own way of living.
One space deserves special mention: the enclosed balcony (8.11 m²). Filled with natural light and offering an open view over the surrounding Lisbon area, it is one of those places that quickly becomes the emotional heart of a home — ideal for breakfast, reading, working or simply sitting and enjoying the city.
The home is completed by the fitted kitchen (12.50 m²) with Bosch appliances, renovated bathroom (3.35 m²), hallway (5.53 m²) and a separate laundry room (1.72 m²) — a dedicated functional space that ensures privacy and organization without interfering with the living areas.
The building has a very well-organized condominium association, ensuring peace of mind and sound long-term property management — a factor that often weighs heavily in the decisions of more discerning buyers.
In Arroios, in surroundings defined by Lisbon’s architecture and identity, this apartment offers a combination that is difficult to find: generous areas, character, versatility, contemporary comfort and a view to enjoy every day. A three-bedroom apartment in essence, with the potential to become an exceptional two-bedroom home and, above all, a property with soul that adapts to those who live in it.
