This top-floor 3-bedroom apartment is located in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of the charming fishing village of Ferragudo.  There are café's and small shops close by as well as a daily market and a variety of restaurants in Ferragudo (1.3km).  It is about a 25-minute stroll or short cycle to gorgeous Praia Grande beach. The apartment boasts a partially enclosed private roof terrace, and underneath there is a large 2-3 car garage (37.5m2) currently used for parking as well as a workshop.

From the communal entrance hall, marble steps lead up to this second floor apartment (no elevator).  The front door opens to an entrance area and open-plan living room with glass doors to a balcony. There is a fireplace for cosy winter evenings, plus air-conditioning in most rooms for year-round comfort.  The kitchen is well-equipped with granite worktops, induction hob and electric oven, plus space for a table and chairs.  Off the kitchen is another balcony (this one closed in) and a storage room.  A door from the living room leads to the bedroom area.  Two of the bedrooms have private balconies, and one has glass doors with views north to Monchique mountains. All bedrooms have beautiful parquet floors as well as built-in wardrobes.  There are two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a bath (with shower over).

Upstairs is a private roof terrace with a summer kitchen, ideal for entertaining or just relaxing.  There is a covered area with glass doors for shady dining. This opens to a spacious terrace with barbecue and pizza oven, plenty of space to sunbathe, as well as an outdoor shower. There are great views from here towards Monchique mountains and across the countryside.  Also on this level is another store room.

On the lower level is a 3-car garage with an automatic door.  One end of the garage is currently used as a workshop and has a mezzanine level for extra storage.

This would make a lovely year-round home in a peaceful area, or a great low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave holiday home.  Ferragudo with its beautiful beach is only 1.3km and from here you can catch a water taxi to Portimão and Praia da Rocha.  Portimão with its river-front esplanade and large shops is just across the river, and there are golf courses, shops and an international school all within a 10-minute drive.  Faro airport is 40 minutes by motorway.
