This mansion is one of Oeiras's most expensive historic properties (and it's for sale)

A school until 2022, the Palacete Vila Santa Maria is now on the market for €3.8 million through Porta da Frente Christie's. The property, which for years housed the Colégio Princesa Isabel, spans three floors — the basement and top floor served as large garages — and offers seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and parking for eight cars, plus a small annex and a former pavilion that served as the school's canteen.

A Preliminary Information Request has already been filed to significantly expand the space, with a project envisaging four semi-detached houses. The property's location — next to Oeiras's train station and bus terminal, close to the beach, schools, universities and shops — is one of the central selling points of the listing.
