About the Property
Step through the original hardwood doors into a sun-drenched living space where preserved 19th-century azulejo tilework meets contemporary design. The open-plan kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly onto a wraparound veranda — the perfect place to watch the sunset over the bay with a caipirinha in hand.
The master suite occupies the entire upper floor, featuring a private terrace, walk-in wardrobe, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms on the ground floor are bright and generously sized, ideal for family or guests.
Outside, a heated plunge pool is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, with native palms and bougainvillea providing natural privacy. A covered pergola and built-in barbecue area make this garden an entertainer's dream.

Neighborhood
Santa Teresa is Rio's most storied artistic quarter — a hilltop village of cobblestone streets, independent ateliers, and colonial mansions draped in tropical greenery. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, it sits just 10 minutes from Lapa, 15 minutes from Flamengo beach, and 25 minutes from Ipanema.
