3 bedrooms Villa in La Duquesa

Beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom family villa with separate guest level, multiple terraces, garden, private pool, panoramic sea views and huge cellar.

This Mediterranean-style villa (picure 1 – overview) is located in the quiet Punta Chullera Urbanisation, and enjoys absolutely stunning sea views with Gibraltar and Ceuta on the horizon (picture 2), as well as beautiful views onto the countryside and the port of Duquesa (picture 3). The villa is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and is in an excellent condition and built to the highest level, featuring many extras.

The property is split into two completely independent levels (picture 1), and is therefore ideal to be split into a holiday let or work area and separate owner's apartment.

– Ground floor – Main House –

From the large porch (34m2), you enter (picture 4) a very bright, huge 63m2 combined living-dining room (picture 5, 6 and 7) with incredible panoramic views through large windows and sliding glass doors (picture 7).

At the side of the living room, is a small adjoined work area, ideal to be used as an open office (picture 8).

From the living room, you can enter the two large bedrooms (12m2 each) (picture 9). The master bedroom (picture 10) has an ensuite bathroom (7m2), that can also be accessed directly from the living room. The master bathroom (picture 11) is beautifully tiled and has a double sink bathroom, a large bath tub and enjoys a view directly onto the terrace and swimming pool, making it the perfect start into the day.

The second bedroom (picture 12) also has a dedicated ensuite bathroom (4m2) with a shower and is beautifully tiled in the same style (picture 13).
Both bedrooms have large built in wardrobes (2m) to easily store all your things.

From the other side of the living room (picture 7), you enter a large (14m2) fully-fitted kitchen (pictures 14 & 15), with quartz countertops and top-of-the-line equipment, including a brand new AEG dishwasher. The kitchen has a kitchen island with gas stove, and is ideal for entertaining. It features double-bowl sink, providing drinking water through a reverse osmosis system. One side of the kitchen is entirely covered by a huge 3m custom built shelv, featuring an air suction system, making the ideal place to prepare deep fried dishes. From the kitchen, you enjoy a stunning view onto the terrace and the beautiful countryside (picture 16).

Exiting the kitchen (picture 17), you reach a staircase that leads up to the large solarium (70m2), where you can enjoy breath-taking views whilst sunbathing throughout day (picture 18 and 19).

From the kitchen, you can also directly exit to a large alfresco dining terrace (19m2) which is covered by beautiful flowers and is the ideal location to enjoy the morning sun whilst having breakfast (picture 20).

To ensure that you can enjoy the sun all day, there is a large second terrace (picture 21 and 22) facing the pool, covered by grape vines, which enjoys sun all day until evening. The large pool of 8 x 4.50 (picture 23) is ideal to cool down, and comes with a pool cover, keeping it warm for longer as well as keeping dirt out, making it easy to maintain. Of course, the many tiled areas around the house include an outside shower to use for pool use.

– Lower Level –

The lower level has a dedicated entrance (see picture 1 and 24) and is currently completely separate from the upper level, making it ideal for renting out.

It has large living space of 26m2 with one section being used as a living room (picture 25), and a separate section as a bedroom (picture 26). The two sections are visually separated and could be easily converted into 2 separate rooms. From the living room, you can enter a bathroom (picture 27) with shower (5m2), or you can go to the small kitchen with dining area (15m2). The kitchen is connected to a huge storage (picture 28, 29) area/workshop of 45m2, that could be easily converted into further living quarters. There is also a non-inhabitable section of 40m2, where you can see the natural stone foundation, that could be used as an additional storage area for shelves (picture 30).

The storage area is connected to the open garage (picture 31) that has space for 1 car and could be easily converted into a closed garage by adding a garage gate. The lower level is surrounded by a luscious green garden (picture 32, 33) that is the perfect play area for kids. The garden is super-easy to maintain as it has an automatic watering system and can be easily maintained with a lawn mowing robot.
