Discover this architectural gem in the heart of Lapa, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic neighborhoods. This historic home, protected as cultural heritage, has been fully renovated, blending Brazilian colonial style with contemporary touches to create a unique and sophisticated space.

With 100 m² of land area, the house spans three floors, with every square meter thoughtfully utilized. It features two bright and comfortable suites, five bathrooms distributed across the floors, and a 20,000-liter water cistern, ensuring autonomy and security. Additionally, the property benefits from a property tax exemption (IPTU), renewable every 10 years due to its heritage status.

The architecture preserves original elements such as stone walls, reclaimed wood, and traditional frames, while incorporating modern solutions like large glass panels, high ceilings, and integrated living spaces. The vibrant window frames contrast harmoniously with the polished wood flooring and iron accents, creating a look that is both warm and elegant.

Among the standout features are the sunlit terrace with hydraulic tile flooring and natural stone walls, ideal for outdoor leisure. The living room, with its glass ceiling and exposed wooden structure, offers a cozy and bright atmosphere. The dining room is charming and refined, with tall windows in vivid red frames and polished wood floors. Hallways and staircases with pendant lighting and skylights highlight the beauty of the original structure.

Located in Lapa, one of Rio’s most authentic and culturally rich districts, the house is surrounded by historic bars, cultural centers, and has easy access to both Downtown and the South Zone.

This home is a rare blend of historical authenticity and modern comfort, perfect for residential use or as an exclusive commercial space—such as a gallery, studio, boutique restaurant, or charming guesthouse.
