Full Description
Property Reference: 2837-3
This single level villa with enormous potential is nestled within a 5840m2 plot (approx 1.44 acres). Set in the countryside surrounded by trees, it offers peace, tranquillity and privacy, without being isolated as there are neighbours in the area.
Two cobblestone driveways lead to the house and parking area. One leads to a roundabout set around a large olive tree, whilst the other leads to the single garage.
Pathways from the parking areas lead to a pretty covered porch, and the front door opens to an entrance hall with a guest toilet. An arched doorway leads to the living space.
The large living room offers a feature wood-burning fireplace for the cooler winter months, and 2 sets of patio doors let in an abundance of natural light and open onto the covered outside terrace, where you can enjoy the views across the pool, gardens and the countryside beyond. An arch leads through from the living room to the spacious, bright and airy open-plan kitchen-dining room with a cosy wood-burning stove. A further set of patio doors open to the pool-side terrace from the dining area. The kitchen boasts marble counter-tops, plenty of storage cupboards and sliding doors open to the pool-side terrace, with ample room for alfresco dining and relaxing outdoors. This open-plan space boasts a long marble peninsula overlooking the dining area, so that you can entertain whilst preparing food.
Near the kitchen, there's a handy utility room with space for a washing machine, plus ample storage space.
A hall leads to the spacious master suite which boasts sliding doors leading out onto the pool-side terrace, plus an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath and a separate storage room.
To the other side of the entrance hall, a hall leads off to the rest of the bedrooms. One has a built-in wardrobe and the other is a smaller bedroom (perfect as an office) with a walk in storage cupboard. Both bedrooms have windows looking out to the pool, and there is a shared family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower between them.
The carport has been converted into another en-suite bedroom with patio doors leading out to the terrace by the front door.
Outside, the property is surrounded by mature gardens and paved terraces. The 12x5m pool is surrounded by a generous paved area with plenty of space for sun loungers and relaxing in the sun. A gate leads to a terrace with built-in BBQ ideal for alfresco dining. Steps lead down from here to the driveway and single garage.
Pathways meander through the garden to the feature well and borehole. An original pond with feature bridge and fountain need restoring to bring it back to its former glory. There is plenty of space on the land in-front of the house, ideal for growing vegetables or keeping animals.
Located just 8 minutes drive from the championship Penina Golf Resort and 15 minutes from the pretty village of Alvor with its wide selection of restaurants and its beautiful beach, and a similar distance to the vibrant town of Portimâo with its riverfront esplanade, shopping centres, cinemas and other amenities. Faro airport is about 50 minutes away.
