Description
This spacious, split-level home with 4 bedrooms and an office, is located in an elevated position overlooking pretty countryside and just 3km from the beach. Mature gardens and paved terraces surround the house and pool area, and a cobblestone driveway leads to the house and parking area.
A path from the parking area lead to a pretty covered porch, and the front door opens to an entrance hall with charming Santa Catarina tiled floors. Next to the entrance hall is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area with a cosy wood-burning stove and feature brick wall. The kitchen boasts granite counter-tops and overlooks the dining area, so that you can entertain whilst preparing food. There are plenty of cupboards and a window over the sink gives a view of the gardens. A stable-type door leads outside to a charming barbecue area - a great spot for al fresco dining, and steps lead from here down to the pool level. Back inside, also on this entrance level, is an office, which could be used as a fifth bedroom if desired.
From the dining area, a short staircase leads up to a lovely bright living room with two sets of patio doors opening to covered outside terraces, where you can enjoy the views across the gardens and the countryside beyond. The lounge has a wood burning stove for the cooler winter months and air-conditioning to heat and cool. Next to the living room is a guest toilet, and beyond this is a spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom featuring bath and walk-in shower, plus patio doors to a covered terrace overlooking the pool.
Back in the entrance hall, a short staircase leads down to the lower level with three more bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms with showers, and one of which has patio doors to a terrace. Also on this level is a family bathroom with a shower cubicle as well as a utility cupboard for linen storage.
Well-established gardens and lawns surround the house, and a paved area around the pool provides plenty of space for sun loungers and relaxing in the sun. A lovely covered terrace provides another sheltered spot for outdoor dining, and a wood pergola creates a lovely shady area to relax. There are storage sheds, ideal for your garden or sports equipment.
This is a superb location where you can soak up the peace and quiet of the countryside while enjoying the benefits of being just 3km from town and beautiful local beaches. Faro airport is a 35-minute drive and there are golf courses, shops and retail centres, as well as other attractions close by. This would make a fabulous family home or an excellent rental property.
