This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, an EXCLUSIVE ALGARVE GEMS, is located in Altura within walking distance of the beach, just 7 minutes walk from it. The house consists of the main house, and an annex, with a completely independent entrance and which can be monetized under a Local Accommodation Regime. The house consists, on the ground floor, of a kitchen with very generous dimensions, very well equipped, and with a large dining table, for long dinners with family and/or friends. This kitchen extends into the vast area of the ground floor, into the living room, where you will find a very pleasant space, with a high ceiling, a fireplace, and a very cozy living area, for some beautiful gatherings, late into the night, whether with family or friends. Also, on this floor, there is a social and/or service bathroom. Going up to the first floor, we find 2 bedrooms, with built-in closets, air conditioning and a bathroom, vintage style, with tasteful decor. Going up another level, in this majestic house, we find 1 bedroom, en suite, with direct access to a balcony, which in turn, has direct access to a terrace of enormous dimensions and with enormous potential, to make this space, a place of relaxation, with all that that implies. Imagination can work miracles in this unique space. This room, currently converted into a reading and leisure space, has a mezzanine, converted into an office, built-in closets and a private bathroom. Here we arrive, at the ex-libris of this magnificent house, at the top of the stairs. We open the door, which gives us access, to a space that is both extraordinary and welcoming. We immediately come across a pergola, provided with shade, which we need for the hottest days and to feel the cool breeze passing by, intelligently composed of photovoltaic panels, which, in addition to providing energy to the house, were calculated, measure the pergola to enjoy the shade. If we move along this same terrace, we find another leisure and social area, sublimely furnished and decorated, for the most pleasant evenings with sea views. The house has photovoltaic panels, which produce electricity for the property, completely dispensing with gas in the main house and allowing high energy efficiency, not yet reflected in the current Energy Certificate, which will be renewed next year. Electricity cost only around €40/45 every 2 months, as an example.
