1152 Carmen with Pool & Gardens, Albayzin

Spacious carmen with spectacular 360 degree views of the Alhambra, Generalife, the rooftops of the Albayzin and of the snowy Sierra Nevada. The property is in excellent condition throughout and comprises two separate buildings underneath one of which is a sizeable garage and workshop.

The main building is laid out as follows: Ground Floor: glass fronted entrance hall/ conservatory, off of which is a store room with extra refrigerator; large lounge / dining room with windows over the gardens; a modern kitchen; downstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

First Floor: four double bedrooms, two of which have balconies overlooking the Alhambra, and a family bathroom.

Second Floor: beautiful lounge/study with windows on two sides and access to an extensive roof terrace with spectacular views. The construction is of a very high standard with marble or terra cotta floors, wooden windows and wooden detailing in the ceilings.

The secondary single storey building is located in the garden and is designed for celebrations and the gathering of friends and family. It comprises: fully fitted modern kitchen with opening low window which functions as a serving hatch when meals are taken outside, dining room, toilet and a very large lounge with bar. This building could be sub-divided to create further accommodation, if desired, or would work fabulously as office space, away from the main house.

Outside there are extensive and well-maintained gardens in the typical Andalusian style. Of special note is the extensive hand-laid Granada style paving. Views from the gardens are spectacular. Beside the house is a swimming pool with Granada style ceramic mosaics in the boundary walls and also an extensive shaded terrace with space for family parties. Rarely do carmens of this quality and with such spectacular views come onto the market, especially not those with car access and garage. The existing garage, which is large enough for two small cars, could be easily enlarged by reducing the size of the adjoining workshop.
