Algarve Property of the Week - An unmissable opportunity in Moncarapacho.... Situated in a privileged position in Moncarapacho is this week's ‘Property of the Week', a recently built, never-lived in, sprawling property with heaps of potential to become truly outstanding, with little effort.

 

Currently on the market for just €650, this property is priced for a quick sale due to the owners' personal circumstances. It is a beautiful house, located just north of the EN125, boasting stunning, uninterrupted costal views. South facing, it enjoys floods of natural light all day long.

Surrounding the property is 13,460 square metres of land, which with a little landscaping could be transformed into something fabulous.

Spread over two floors this five-bedroom villa has been built to a high standard, using quality materials and finishings.

Through a front door flanked by columns we enter a hall that is bright and airy. It has a very high ceiling, as the first floor landing is open.

To the right of the hall a set of wooden double doors open into the large living/dining area.

From this room, two sets of patio doors open onto the front of the property, making it a bright room, aided by inset down-lights, it also has a focal woodburning-stove set in a fireplace carved from solid marble and granite.

Through from the living/dining room we enter the kitchen, a well-proportioned room with plenty of space for a family breakfast table. It is fitted with oak cupboards and modern aluminium appliances. To the back of the kitchen there is a big utility room with fitted storage cupboards, divided into a larder and separate laundry room.

Both the kitchen and the utility room have doors leading to the exterior, to a covered barbeque station and dining patio.

Front from the hall there is a contemporary guest WC styled with aquamarine floor tiles and smoked glass fittings.

Left from here is an office, with its own entrance, and three good-sized bedrooms, one en-suite, two with patio doors, all with carved-wood fitted wardrobes.

There is also a large family bathroom with its own in-built linen closet.

Left of the hall is a solid marble staircase, with a decorative cast iron balustrade, that climbs to the first floor. Here, at opposite ends of the landing, are the remaining two bedrooms.

To the left is a good size bedroom, with a door to its own private balcony, from where one can drink in the panoramic Eastern Algarve coast views.

To the right is the master suite, a huge room with a seating area, a sleeping area, a large, walk thorough dressing area, complete with automatic lighting and loads of fitted wardrobe and cupboard space on both sides, and an enormous en-suite bathroom. This en-suite has, unusually, two toilets, his n' hers basins, a shower, and a huge corner hydromassage bathtub for two! It also has doors to its own large balcony.

Adding to this property's potential is a large area of roof space, which could easily be converted into a home-cinema, office, etc, with the fitting of another staircase.

Throughout there is central heating, pre-installation for air conditioning, heated towel rails in all bathrooms, and all windows are double-glazed.

Completely fenced with separate entrance gates at opposite ends, the property further comprises two garages and is in a private, peaceful spot, just five minutes away from Moncarapacho and from the A22 motorway. Twenty minutes away from Faro airport, it enjoys an excellent location and an equally excellent price for a quick sale. For more information, contact Rustic Properties, Med. Unip. Lda AMI 7286.
