Description
This beautiful, recently renovated, 4-bedroom home is situated in an elevated position with views across the countryside to the Monchique mountains in the distance. It is just over 2km to the market town of Tunes with its train station and connections to Lisbon and Faro, and less than 10km to beaches.
Automatic gates open to a paved driveway leading to a carport. A covered terrace leads to the front door, which opens to an entrance lobby (currently used as an office). The open-plan living space is extremely spacious, with a sunken lounge area featuring patio doors opening to the pool terrace. A wood-burner keeps this room cosy on winter evenings (although there is central heating and air-conditioning as well). The generous dining area overlooks the lounge, and also has a patio door onto the south-facing covered terrace. The stylish kitchen has been completely renovated and boasts Silestone counter tops and splashback, a central island with breakfast bar, integrated top-quality appliances and an induction hob with built-in extractor. A serving counter connects the kitchen and dining area, ideal for indoor entertaining.
From the kitchen there is a door to the carport (great for bringing in your groceries) and off here is a separate laundry room with more storage space. Another door from the kitchen opens to the south-facing covered terrace with built-in BBQ - a lovely space for al-fresco dining. A grape vine provides a shady area connecting the covered terrace with a small annex with window, ideal as a home office or hobby room. An external toilet room with washbasin close to the pool and BBQ terrace is convenient when entertaining outside.
Back inside, a small corridor off the dining area leads to 2 bedrooms and a lovely family bathroom with soaker tub. Each bedroom has built-in wardrobes and air-conditioning. A 3rd spacious bedroom opens off the entrance hall and has an en-suite shower room, sliding doors to a private terrace overlooking the pool, and views across the valley. Stairs from the lounge lead up to the 4th bedroom, also with en-suite shower room. This room has a vaulted ceiling and a wall of sliding doors onto a private balcony overlooking the pool. The views from here are far-reaching and this is a great space to enjoy the night sky. A small door from the shower room leads into the attic, with plenty of storage space.
Outside, winding paths lead through the gardens, with mature trees providing shade and plenty of secluded seating areas. The sparkling pool is surrounded by a paved terrace, ideal for sunbathing, and an artificial lawn provides a great low-maintenance area to play.
This gorgeous property would make an ideal family home, set in a quiet suburb in the countryside and close to town (2km) and beaches (10km). It would also be a great lock-up and leave holiday home or rental property, and while there are neighbours close by it is also very private. Faro airport is only 40 minutes.
