Spacious 3-bedroom duplex apartment with 163 sqm, located in the Jardins do Morgado project, in the 'Casa do Morgado' building in Setúbal.This apartment is distributed as follows: upon entering, through 1st floor, we find an entrance hall, an en suite bedroom with 21 sqm and a large living room of 38 sqm with an open kitchen and a guest bathroom. There is a small balcony opposite the living room. Stairs lead to the upper floor, where the other two bedrooms are located, both en suite. The master suite has 36 sqm and a dressing room.This apartment has two outdoor parking spaces and a storage area of 7 sqm.The Morgado Gardens were born from the restoration of the architecture and gardens of Quinta de Aranguês, in the center of Setúbal. Three main elements stand out: the trees, the water and the architecture. There are two majestic centenary trees imported from Goa or Macau, a grandiose mirror of water worked in stone, as well as a fountain, a well and a magnificent swimming pool. There are still two 18th century buildings, the main house, which can accommodate six apartments, and the fresco house, which has been transformed into a house overlooking the water mirror.In the Morgado Gardens, the former Pombaline house and the farm around it, lived the naturalist painter José António Benedito Soares Faria de Barros, known as Morgado de Setúbal.The project consists of 19 apartments, spread over 4 buildings that are part of the heritage of the old estate: Casa do Morgado, Casa de Fresco, Casa da Árvore and Casa da Fonte. Exotic and fragrant gardens unite the four houses, which also have a gym and outdoor swimming pool.Each apartment has its own special design, whether it's its relationship with the garden, the view, orientation, antique tiles, generous ceilings or the presence of a fireplace.At Casa do Morgado there are three two-bedroom apartments on the first floor, with a privileged connection to the garden; and three three-bedroom duplex apartments on the first floor, which benefit from the attic area.The most emblematic elements of this Pombaline house have been restored, namely the tile panels, the stone staircase, the shutters and skirting boards, as well as the treasured roofs, typical of the region.Casa de Fresco, which has also been refurbished, has a three-bedroom apartment and a unique layout over two floors, inviting you to experience the whole house from the outside in. Casa da Árvore stands out for its privileged relationship with the emblematic centenary trees of the Gardens, as well as for its horizontality, guided by the exterior openings. This new building consists of eight apartments (one 3-bedroom, five 2-bedroom and two 1-bedroom), spread over two floors. The north-facing entrances allow the social spaces and large balconies to enjoy the best sun exposure.Next to the old fountain is Casa da Fonte. Built from scratch, it has direct access to Rua da Tebaida and a private garage. The four two-bedroom apartments, spread over two floors, benefit from sun exposure to the south and west, as well as proximity to the fountain and swimming pool. Large balconies open out to the south, overlooking the entire Morgado Gardens. One of the apartments has a private garden.The city of Setúbal is the guardian of an ancient heritage. Between the sea, the river and the mountains, Setúbal combines the splendid green of the Arrábida Natural Park with the wonderful river landscapes of the Sado estuary and idyllic beaches that have won international awards. It has been discovered and adopted by foreign communities, benefiting from its proximity to Lisbon (just 30 minutes away), as well as the rest of the world, whether by sea or air. Excellent access and transportation make it possible to work in the Portuguese capital and live in Setúbal.A short ferry ride away is the Tróia peninsula, bathed by both the river and the sea. Tróia is famous for its marina, casino, magnificent golf course and other leisure activities, with the highlight being an endless stretch of sand bathed by the waters of the Atlantic, with uninterrupted views of the Arrábida Natural Park.At the base of the Tróia peninsula is the town of Comporta, surrounded by rice paddies, the ocean, dunes and pine forests. Integrated into nature reserves, it enjoys a unique ecosystem, protected by a rigorously sustainable philosophy. Comporta is one of Europe's most exclusive summer destinations, nicknamed 'the Hamptons of Europe', with endless beautiful beaches all along its coastline. Energy Rating: A #ref:APA_10266
