2 bedroom apartment with 87 sqm, located in the Jardins do Morgado project, in the 'Casa da Árvore' building in Setúbal.This apartment is distributed as follows: upon entering, we find the open kitchen and living room. Next door is the apartment's most private area: two bedrooms, one en suite, both with fitted closets. There is also a full bathroom that serves the second bedroom. A pleasant 17 sqm terrace with access from the living room and the suite.This apartment has an outside parking space and a 3 sqm storage area.The Jardins do Morgado project was 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 Jardins do Morgado we find, the former Pombaline house 'Casa do Morgado', in which 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 Jardins do Morgado. 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_10269
