1190 House with Terrace and Views, Albayzin

This spacious, four bedroom town house in a great, tranquil part of the Albayzin, with fabulous outside spaces and absolutely stunning views of the Alhambra and Albayzin, would make a great family home. It has two wonderful terraces, one in front of the living room and another very large rooftop terrace, perfect for cool meals in the summer evenings and for creating a plant haven outside from which to sit and enjoy the views.

In through the front door you will find a big entrance hall, with a bathroom and study/office (with views of the Alhambra) off to the left, which leads onto a passage, with a large, fully-fitted kitchen off to the left, a long terrace with amazing views of the Alhambra and Albayzin to the right and, at the end of the passage, an open living room/dining room with a lovely, big open fireplace, big windows allowing a view in and out of the kitchen and five exterior windows offering lots of light, four of which enjoy views of the Alhambra and Albayzin.

Coming back to the entrance hall, there are stairs (with typically Andalusian tiles on the walls) leading down to four bedrooms. three of which are ensuite with either a bath or shower or both. The second bedroom gives access to an interior patio, currently enjoying a number of thriving plants, while the third bedroom enjoys the light and view of the patio from an interior bedroom window. Two of the four bedrooms have built-in cupboards. The last bedroom, the master bedroom, has a view of the Alhambra from the bedside window.

The stairs once more lead down, this time to a complex of 15th century caves, a fascinating place with the original, city lamp posts still on the outside walls. The caves are currently undergoing maintenance and will be painted white throughout. 

Following the stairs all the way back up past the entrance hall, one comes out at the absolutely huge terrace with fantastic panaramic views. Just walking out there one gets a sense of the marvellous potential of this outside terrace space.
