Splendid property, known as "Casa das Conchas" (House of Shells), a rarity located in the Historic Center of Évora. It represents a unique opportunity for those seeking an original and spacious home, adaptable for hotel business or a promising investment in the Alentejo region.
This is a classified building and is located on a tranquil street in the vicinity of Largo and Igreja da Misericórdia, surrounded by the atmosphere of Évora's Historic Center. With facades facing three different streets, it comprises four units: two homes and two commercial spaces, each with independent use and entrances, totaling a gross private area of 631.30 sqm.
The main house extends over three floors, offering 485.30 sqm of gross private area. On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall, a closet, two suites, a laundry room, a cellar, garage for two cars, storage spaces, and a central patio, ideal for outdoor moments with total privacy. The first floor includes a suite, spacious lounges, dining and living rooms, kitchen, pantry, and two levels of terrace. The second floor offers another suite, providing ample space to fully experience this house.
In addition to the main residence, the right ground floor integrates a commercial space for various businesses, previously an old bakery and now vacant, with an area of 40 sqm, divided into 2 spaces and still 2 bathrooms. The ground floor on the left accommodates a functioning café-restaurant, with 51.50 sqm indoors and a license for a small outdoor terrace. On the first floor, accessible from the side street, there is an one-bedroom apartment, with 54.50 sqm and the possibility of accessing the terrace, complementing this unique offer.
The current configuration results from the extensive rehabilitation project carried out by the previous owner between 1990 and 2000, in collaboration with artisans and specialists, making the main house a space rich in unique details and authenticity. The charming atmosphere is enhanced by original finishes and pieces, where every detail has been carefully considered.
Among the many elements, marble floors, 18th-century French fireplaces, 18th-century tile panels, a 17th-century well in the center of the patio, 19th-century painted wallpapers in the dining room, painted ceilings, boiseries, and decorative paintings made in 2021 stand out, all harmoniously integrated.
From the reconstruction of the roof to the installation of central air conditioning, central heating, alarm, and video intercom–all amenities have been carefully integrated, ensuring comfort and safety.
