Ever looked out over Lisbon and wondered who lives in one of those properties with their own private turret? This might be your chance. Mirante is a one-of-a-kind triplex in a historic building between Alcântara and Belém, crowned by a glass tower that offers uninterrupted 360° views across the city skyline. It’s a rare blend of period charm, natural light, and sweeping perspective, just steps from the river.

The apartment spans three levels and feels more like a small house than a typical Lisbon flat. Located on the second floor of a 19th-century building, the apartment was fully renovated in 2024 with new electrics, upgraded plumbing, three bathrooms, air conditioning and generous built-in storage throughout. Off-road parking adds everyday convenience, and with quick routes out of the city, Lisbon’s best beaches are always within easy reach.

You enter into a reception hall that opens onto a bright, open-plan living and dining area. Original restored floors, white-painted wood ceilings, and an exposed gaiola pombalina structure create a bright and breezy atmosphere. Three large windows face the river, while two more bring light into the dining area from the side facade. The result is a space filled with sun from morning through evening.

At the back of the apartment, a traditional-style kitchen leads to a small balcony, perfect for coffee in the sun. Adjacent to the kitchen, a landing lined with deep storage connects to a social bathroom with a shower. Fixtures and finishes here were chosen to respect the building's heritage character.

Up an open staircase, the middle level of the apartment includes two flexible mezzanine spaces tucked under the eaves. These areas offer a variety of uses, from a quiet study or reading nook to a TV room or guest corner.

This floor also holds the main sleeping quarters. The principal bedroom overlooks a leafy internal garden and includes a dedicated bathroom with a discreet laundry area. A second spacious double bedroom shares a bathroom with a third single bedroom, which would work well as a child’s room. All three bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and thoughtful storage throughout.

Finally, the top floor is home to the property’s standout feature: the claraboia. This glass-framed turret opens up to stunning views in every direction, with space for a desk, a sofa, and leafy plants. It is fitted with air conditioning to stay comfortable through the summer months.

Junqueira is one of Lisbon’s most quietly storied neighbourhoods. Once home to noble families after the 1755 earthquake, it remains peaceful, elegant, and close to everything. Just around the corner is the new MACAM hotel and art museum, set in a beautiful heritage palácio. The São Bernardo gourmet deli is a local favourite, and cult-favourite Canalha is a go-to for dinner among foodies in the know. 

MAAT, CCB, and riverside cafés are all within an easy stroll. Direct riverfront access via the pedestrian bridge by MAAT means cycling, running, and sunset walks are right at your door. For sailing lovers, Alcântara docks and the sailing academy are just 10 minutes away.

Families will appreciate direct tram access to The Lisboan International School, plus quick commutes to the British School and Redbridge School’s new campuses in Ajuda and Restelo.

This is a Lisbon home with character, sunlight, privacy, and an entirely different point of view.
