Matosinhos , 4 bedroom house for sale

4+1-bedroom villa, 242 sqm (floor area), with patio and solar panels, set in a 289 sqm plot of land, in São Mamede de Infesta, Matosinhos. With three fronts, it is one of the few examples of palatial houses promoted by the Porto bourgeoisie in the first decades of the 20th century (1922). Rehabilitated in 2000, it is in excellent condition, maintaining the original design and construction elements of the time, such as the beveled green tiles on the façade, the wooden floor, the sucupira wood entrance door, and the plastered ceilings. It was built at the peak of the business life of José Aires Pereira, an industrialist and merchant from Porto, who used to stay there at the end of the summer, when his farm, at the back of the property, was busy with the harvest season. His forewoman lived in the house and therefore it was named after her, 'Vila Josefa'. It is spread over four floors, with the basement comprising a large living room, a wine cellar/storage, which has a direct exit to the patio. The ground floor comprises three rooms (one of them with direct access to the patio), a kitchen, storage area, and a guest bathroom.
