Property Reference: 2892
This delightful two storey semi-detached house sits in an elevated position with fantastic south-east facing views across the village of Budens to the beautiful Costa Vicentina Natural Park, with a glimpse of the sea in the distance. The village, just a 5-minute stroll away, has a number of restaurants and cafés, plus a large supermarket.
Being on a hillside, the property is entered from the upper level, meaning that the living area benefits from the stunning, panoramic views. There's also a convenient lower 2nd entrance, ideal if you're coming from the pool or garden. On the upper level, the entrance hall leads into a spacious semi open-plan kitchen / diner / living room with patio doors leading to the balcony with those lovely views. The fitted kitchen comes with an electric oven and hob, plus a dishwasher, with many of the appliances being new. The breakfast bar looks out through the patio doors to the fabulous views beyond. The living room features a built-in log-burner, making the property very cosy on winter evenings. The balcony runs the whole width of the property and benefits from a wind-out awning if shade is required. There's also a guest cloakroom off the entrance hall and a generous-sized storage space. There's a cobbled terrace by the front door, which catches the evening sun.
Stairs lead down to the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with the 2nd entrance half way down the stairs. The master suite has its own private bathroom with a large walk-in shower, plus a washing machine and dryer, and there are patio doors to the south-facing garden. The second bedroom has a view of the garden and built-in wardrobes. There's a very spacious family bathroom with twin sinks and a bath with an over-head shower. This lower floor has electric under-floor heating throughout.
The spacious terrace and garden is very private, surrounded by hedges, and offers ample space to relax and sun-bathe. There are 3 young fruit trees (peach, apricot and plum). There's also a barbecue plus an outside cupboard housing a large electric boiler for hot water. Beyond the garden, a path leads through the pine trees to the communal pools (one large adult pool plus a smaller children's pool), which are heated for around 7 months of the year. There are changing facilities beside the pool and ample terrace space for sun-bathing. The Santo Antonio Golf Course is just a 2-minute drive away and the property is only 3kms from the pretty sea-side village of Salema with its golden, sandy beach and a multitude of fantastic restaurants and bars. The wild, natural beach and nature reserve at Boca do Rio are less than a 5 minute drive away.
The house is being sold fully furnished. There's ample free parking in the street, adjacent to the house. This property is perfect for anyone wanting a property on a lovely development where everything is well looked after, not just as a holiday home, but ideal for permanent living too. The resort fees are very reasonable. Other beach resorts such as Burgau and Luz are within a short 10-15 minute drive, as are the beautiful surfing beaches on Portugal's West Coast. And for those who enjoy hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, etc. the beautiful Costa Vicentina Natural Park surrounds the village. Restaurants, cafes and a large supermarket in the village are all within easy walking distance.
