Petunias 12

The property

A renovated townhouse, a few minutes’ walk from the beach.

Four bedrooms and 174 square metres in San Pedro de Alcántara’s beachside grid, recently renovated, on a quiet one-way street close enough to the water to walk there in beachwear.

The house was built in 1988 and has been recently renovated throughout. The living room is bright and spacious, built around a fireplace, and opens onto the rear patio. The kitchen is large and independent rather than a corner of the living room, finished in sage-green cabinetry with glass-front upper cabinets and a composite worktop.

Outside, the patio does the work most townhouses ask a garden to do. A full outdoor kitchen with barbecue grill, wine cooler and stone worktop sits opposite a round dining table for six, shaded by electric awnings. A second, smaller courtyard off the kitchen, what the description calls a private English patio, gives a second outdoor room for two.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and three bathrooms include underfloor heating in the bathrooms and air conditioning throughout, hot and cold. A roof-level terrace with a sun lounger looks out over the neighbourhood’s tile roofs and cypress trees. The agent’s own description calls the orientation south-west-facing; the property’s registered data records it as west, which is the figure carried in the facts below.
