A TRULY UNIQUE & INTERESTING PROPERTY ~ ROOF TERRACES WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS Located in the centre of the village, this spacious family house of great character and charm, is within easy walking distance of several high-quality restaurants, including one with a Michelin Bib Gourmand-rating. There are also numerous tapas bars, a variety of shops and a supermarket a short stroll away. This authentic Andalusian townhouse was carefully renovated in 2024, preserving its many original architectural details and interesting layout, and offers comfortable year-round living. It features exposed oak-beamed ceilings throughout, a combination of terracotta tiles and polished wood flooring, and an internal courtyard. The property exudes Andalusian charm, but comes with mod-cons such as central heating, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and new bathrooms, ensuring comfortable living all year round. Ground floor The antique entrance door opens into a hallway with a study/office. Beyond is a large open-plan dining room leading to the kitchen, which is modern, well-presented, and has an open fireplace. Handcrafted fitted shelving, colourful stained-glass detailing, and terracotta floor tiles, all add to the inviting ambience at the ‘heart of the house’. French doors from the kitchen open into the pretty courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining. A small bodega and a separate laundry room with WC are adjacent to the patio. First floor The impressive double-height living room has a fireplace, beautiful polished wood flooring, and fitted shelf units. There is a separate TV/snug area that leads to the living room overlooking the central courtyard, allowing natural light to flow throughout the space. The master bedroom faces up the main street, leading to the church and castle. It has fitted wardrobe space and a modern well-appointed bathroom nearby. A hallway from the living room leads across the courtyard to the other side of the house. Here you will find another bedroom, and some fairly steep stairs leading up to a sunny terrace with views of the village, mountains, and surrounding countryside. There is also direct access to the courtyard from this level. Upper floor From the living room, a staircase leads to the upper floor. This comprises the third bedroom with a balcony overlooking the street, a fourth bedroom for extra guests, and a fully equipped bathroom, and there is access to steps leading to the rooftop terrace from this level. The rooftop terrace with jacuzzi and space for sun loungers is ideal for relaxing and has lovely views. This is definitely not your standard village house, but it is a comfortable family home! If you appreciate authenticity, quirkiness, Andalusian charm, and original details — this is a house steeped in history in a pretty ‘white village’ known as the ‘Balcon de La Serrania’. Note that the different levels and some steep staircases may not be suitable for everyone. The house is being sold furnished, excluding artwork, decorations, and personal belongings.
