In the heart of Porto, overlooking the trees of Praça do Marquês de Pombal, this house, built in 1910, forms part of a group of bourgeois residences designed according to the same “projeto-tipo”, attributed to José Marques da Silva, one of the leading figures in Porto’s architectural heritage. With 624 m² of private floor area, four suites and eight reception rooms, this property offers a unique setting for those who appreciate heritage, authenticity and the quality of life of living in the city centre. More than a century later, the house retains precious traces of its history: its azulejo-clad façade, ceiling mouldings, generous proportions, aged wall patinas and, at the rear, a secluded 111 m² garden, offering a rare space for tranquillity and private living. The glass roof, which floods the interiors with natural light, together with the original architectural features, gives character and identity to each room. These are the elements that bear witness to the passage of time and give the property its unique character. The layout of the bedrooms and four bathrooms has been designed to ensure comfort and privacy for the entire family. The location is one of its main assets. The house enjoys immediate access to traditional shops, historic cafés, restaurants, services and supermarkets. Marquês Metro Station is just a few steps away, providing easy access to the entire city. Just minutes from Rua de Santa Catarina and the historic centre, it allows you to experience Porto to the fullest while preserving the privacy of a home and its garden. Generations have followed one another. Uses have evolved. The traces remain. Today, the house still carries that invisible memory, shaped by lives, gestures, silences and transformations. It is for this reason that it has a name: The House of Ancestors. A home to live in, as much as a story to continue. After more than a century of existence, it now awaits those who will write its next chapter.
