Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Quinta do Pisão nature reserve, this four-bedroom villa offers the kind of calm that’s increasingly hard to find this close to the coast. From the upper floor, you can see the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Sintra in the distance. Just five minutes from Guincho Beach and 20 minutes by bike to the centre of Cascais, the house feels close to everything, but hidden away in a peaceful enclave.
The home was completely redesigned in 2024 by architects Rita Palma & Luís Pedro Pinto for the current owner, with no compromises on materials or comfort. The result is a well-executed renovation that feels warm, functional, and contemporary, with smart systems throughout.
The layout spans 158 m² on a 234 m² plot, with 17 m² of garage space, and has been carefully planned for natural light and a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. The kitchen opens out to a breakfast terrace that catches morning sun, while the open-plan dining and living room opens wide to the garden via triple-track sliding doors. Warm terracotta flooring, cork exterior insulation, and custom joinery create a tactile, inviting atmosphere. A wood-burning stove and underfloor heating keep things cosy year-round.
The ground floor includes a flexible bedroom or study and a guest bathroom with shower. The converted garage adds a spacious studio or workshop. The kitchen features Smeg appliances, Bora induction, a water filter tap, and abundant storage.
In the garden, you’ll find a saltwater pool, a heated outdoor shower, and multiple zones for lounging or entertaining. Afternoon sun fills the space, and while the plot isn’t large, it feels peaceful and private.
Upstairs, the landing is lined with warm wood panelling, leading to three further bedrooms. The primary suite has built-in wardrobes, a private bathroom, and balcony views toward the sea. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom and balcony, with views of the Sintra hills from the rear of the house.
Comfort has been thoughtfully built in, with underfloor heating, air conditioning, heated towel rails, and dimmable lighting throughout. Renovated by the owner as a private residence, the home reflects a high level of attention to detail, with carefully chosen materials and no compromises on quality.
In a part of the coast that’s quickly evolving, this house offers the rare mix of privacy, quality, and location. You’re five minutes from surf, a few steps from nature trails, and close enough to cycle into Cascais for dinner. Quiet, well-connected, and ready to move into.
