Description
This house represents a part of the history of the city of Olhão, it is probably the only and last old chalet that still exists today in its original style, and also has a 120m2 private garden in the city center, with a swimming pool.
It was completely renovated by its current owners, with care and respect for the period style and original materials, down to the smallest detail, but with all modern comforts.
The majority of these chalets, of which very few still exist today, were built by wealthy fish canners and shipowners who, during the first half of the 20th century, made a fortune thanks to the abundance of fish in the Ria Formosa. Several of these industrialists, French, Spanish and Italian, transmitted this particularly opulent type of architecture to the small town of Olhão.
All the attributes that make this type of residence so rare are brought together in this one: the hydraulic mosaic floors, a traditional artisanal covering used at the beginning of the 20th century, the walls preserved in "Escola" a mural painting technique imitating marble, the ceilings all adorned with the original moldings and the bedroom floors in the original parquet as well. Even more imposing, its 4m ceiling height makes this residence look like a Petit Palais!!!
The house welcomes us with a majestic entrance that already hints at the splendor that is to come. An equally beautiful lobby follows. The corridor adorned along its entire length by school walls leads us to the discovery of 2 bedrooms, one of which is en suite, an office-library (which could also be a bedroom) a very welcoming and bright living room surrounded by frames on the walls and ceiling, the dining room which also has its molded ceiling and an exceptional volume and, finally, two bathrooms, one of which is private.
The fully equipped kitchen with Falcon stove transports us to the countryside in a refined environment. The tall French windows with small panes open onto a very peaceful garden, and yet we are right in the city center. This 120m2 garden has a large terrace with summer kitchen. A mulberry tree, which has been in the garden since the house's origins, brings a welcome coolness in the summer. A lemon tree and a Monstera also found a place there. The garden floor is covered by a Portuguese sidewalk and the salt pool, surrounded by an exotic Ipé wood covering, is equipped with an electric curtain, diatomaceous earth filtration and automatic quality control.
The stairs inside the house take us to the 1st floor where there is the master suite of more than 35m2, very calm, with a beautiful open view over the city and the garden. It has a private room, bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. The floor also includes a laundry room and access to the large terrace of more than 127m2, well distributed, with garden furniture under a pergola, several plants and water to water them. There is a beautiful view over the city's rooftops. Possibility of purchasing a parking space.
If you are looking for a truly exceptional and unique residence, especially in the beautiful city of Olhão, this one has every chance of seducing you.
You also have the option of renting a garage for €160/month right in front of the house.
