Assunção, Porto

In 2016, a young couple at the beginning of their lives embarked on the renovation project of a house with special characteristics, in the center of the beautiful city of Elvas. They saw its full potential and for 1 year they made improvements to enjoy their paradise in the city and raise their children and dogs there, with a quality of life. They loved the garden, the pool, the porches and the views from the balconies.Designed in the 70s and with original elements that highlight it, this house has its own charm that makes it unique. Let's describe it:On the ground floor:1 suite with shower2 contiguous and connected rooms, one for living and one for dining, very welcoming, with the original wooden ceiling. On the floor the wood is new and in perfect condition. Each room has a fireplace and views of the garden. There is an exit to a pleasant outdoor porch, through one of the rooms.In total, the area of the two adjoining rooms makes up 48m2.There is a guest toilet.The kitchen accesses a laundry area with a service entrance and access to the garage. The kitchen also has a connection to a dining area with direct access to the pleasant garden. On the 1st floor:We found 4 bedrooms, one of them with its own bathroom, with shower and window.There is a bathroom with bathtub shared by 3 bedrooms. These have original wooden floors.All rooms have wardrobes and air conditioning as well as balconies. One of them, shared by 2 bedrooms, is generous in size and overlooks both the green garden and the imposing Amoreira Aqueduct.The house also has a basement, with natural light and 1 bathroom.The garden is partially paved and lawned, has some fruit trees (orange, lemon, loquat) and flowering vines decorating the porches and large balconies based on sturdy stone columns.The environment reminds us of tranquility, freshness and corners. It doesn't feel like we're in the city.There is also a 4mx8m swimming pool with a deck and a small storage room for firewood and a kennel.The garage has space for 2 vehicles and has an electric gate. A paved access also allows, if necessary, to take a vehicle to the garden.Some important technical characteristics:All plumbing and electrical systems were replaced in 2017The windows are now aluminum with thermal cut and double glazingThere is public supplied water and one borehole.Outside, water from the borehole is used for automatic irrigation.The water inside the house is heated using solar panels and, if necessary, a water heater with gas pipes.The pool currently has physically limited access for children's safety.
