- City: Arona
Lovingly restored from its original 200 year old shell, this fabulous Canarian style house is nestled in a secluded area of Arona town, a quaint rural village approximately 10 kilometres from Los Cristianos, and a sanctuary from the hurly burly pace of life on the coast. If it’s character and originality you’re looking for, then this property has it in bucket loads!
The current owners bought the house in a derelict state and have done an outstanding job in transforming it into the splendid property it is today. Their extensive experience as interior designers has influenced the finishing touches, adding a unique perspective to the property, whilst wherever possible, in an effort to be faithful to the character of the building, original materials have been used and features retained.
The entrance is via a pretty, cobbled courtyard; perfect for lounging in a hammock with your favourite read by day and spacious enough for outdoor dining or entertaining on balmy evenings. The accommodation comprises of 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the living area split across two levels - offering flexible living, and ideal if you are looking for a separate bolt hole for the "in-laws", or independent teenagers,. However the layout is such that there are multiple options for you to choose how to use the space!
The owners have successfully combined a sense of the traditional with the modern conveniences of day to day living. On the ground floor, you will find a recently fitted open plan kitchen, complete with integrated appliances and an adjoining dining area. From the kitchen to the rear of the property, there is a laundry/utility room leading out to the private rear courtyard with a seating area and built in barbeque. As you move through the impressive hallway you will find the main living area with its original beamed ceilings and acres of space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the roomy master bedroom, which comes complete with a walk in wardrobe and a generously sized en suite bathroom, which has a full size bath as well as a separate shower.
A splendid staircase leads to the first floor, and what many consider to be this property’s most impressive feature; a large, stunning galleried living area, with views down to the ground floor. This is a magnificent room, and mere words cannot do it justice. It really does need to be seen to be appreciated. Also on the first floor, are 3 further double bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a well proportioned second kitchen, leading out to a small terrace with views down to the coast.
Adjacent to the property is a small outhouse, complete with running water and electricity. This offers great possibilities for conversion into a further living area, guest bedroom, playroom, office etc.
A rare property with a sense that time has stood still within its walls, offering a haven of peace and tranquillity on the door step of Los Cristianos. With its bags of character and high quality restoration, this unique home represents great value for anyone looking for something a little bit special.
