5-bedroom house for sale in Cascais e Estoril

In Birre, on Rua das Violetas, this contemporary detached five-bedroom villa (T5) was built in 2021 on a 715 m2 plot, with a swimming pool and garden. It has 320 m2 of gross floor area across the ground floor and upper floor, plus a 177.5 m2 basement with a garage for four cars. The natural timber slatted cladding, exposed concrete and Corten steel details give it a striking presence from the outside.

The ground floor is organised around a continuous living area with no walls separating the spaces. The 61 m2 living room, with a bioethanol fireplace, opens into a 22 m2 dining area and then into an 18 m2 kitchen. The kitchen is fitted and has a central island, where the extractor is integrated into the worktop itself, leaving the ceiling clear. A pantry sits beside the kitchen. Large glass walls open this area onto a covered pergola of about 35 m2 next to the pool, which works as an additional living room for much of the year. On the same floor are a guest cloakroom and a 16 m2 en-suite bedroom with built-in wardrobes, currently set up as a study.

On the upper floor, the main en-suite bedroom measures 26 m2 and has a walk-in wardrobe of about 8 m2 and a bathroom with a bath, shower and double washbasin. Next is a second en-suite bedroom of 17 m2 and two bedrooms of about 19 m2 each, served by a full family bathroom. The bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and both en-suite bedrooms and one of the other bedrooms open onto a 39 m2 terrace with a timber deck, facing the pool.

In the basement, the garage of about 100 m2 has space for four cars and an internal staircase linking directly to the house. The same level contains an 11 m2 laundry room, the technical rooms, including the pool plant room, and a 20 m2 multi-purpose room with a bathroom, currently used as a gym.

Timber flooring runs through much of the house and gives the spaces continuity. The window frames are in matt black thermolacquered aluminium, with high-performance double glazing. Ducted air conditioning, discreet and with no units on show, provides both heating and cooling, and hot water is produced by solar thermal panels backed by a heat pump, a combination that considerably reduces running costs. Lighting is provided by recessed ceiling spotlights.

Outside, the 29 m2 swimming pool is surrounded by decking, with about 290 m2 of garden around the house. Boundary walls and a hedge along the street enclose the plot and provide a high degree of privacy.

Birre is one of Cascais's most sought-after residential areas, with wide, tree-lined streets and houses with gardens. Cascais town centre is about five minutes away by car, as is access to the A5 motorway, which reaches Lisbon in roughly half an hour. Guincho beach is about eight minutes away, and the golf courses and the Quinta da Marinha riding centre are also nearby. The area has several international schools, including King's College School, and Cascais Shopping and Hospital CUF Cascais are a short distance away.

Contemporary architecture, five bedrooms and a living area that opens fully onto the pool, in one of the quietest parts of Cascais.
