I have to say that this gorgeous 3 bedroom house with swimming pool for sale close to Antigua Guatemala is definitely one of my favourite listings. Located in the El Cortijo de los Flores gated community it’s only a few minutes’ drive to central Antigua. The house has a light and inviting feel.
The house overlooks a well-maintained pretty green area. This is an excellent benefit as firstly you won’t be staring at another home from the sitting room or master bedroom and secondly, it increases the natural light. Don’t you just love the wide balcony on the second level? I can just imagine sitting there sipping my morning cappuccino! I also like the house’s raised position with steps up to the front door which gives it a certain grandeur. Actually, it’s more of a villa than a house!
The ample sitting/dining and kitchen area takes the forefront of the ground floor. The stylish ceramic floor tiles, and the concertina glass dividing doors with light shining in from both the front windows and from the swimming pool area behind add to the spacious living feel. Good solid palo blanco wood cabinets and shelves as well as quality granite tops make the kitchen special.
The ground floor has one of the three double en-suite bedrooms all with walk-in closets. Nice touches include the latex-style wall which gives a warm glow. It’s a nice and light bedroom with a sliding door opening to the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a visitors bathroom, a garage, and a service area which also includes a small live-in area.
Personally, I adore the large second-floor master bedroom. Light and airy with great views of the green area and volcanos in the distance. A lovely high ceiling and a stunning working fireplace lead to both a very tasteful bathroom and a walk-in closet. And don’t forget the balcony!
Another good-sized en-suite double bedroom with a walk-in closet is located on the second floor as well as a children’s playroom. As you can see there is a large terrace with a pergola.
The garden is very tasteful and inviting. Steps lead up to the swimming pool area where you can relax under the pergola. There is also a built-in pizza oven and grill. To the side of the swimming pool is a bathroom and shower room.
The house’s lot size is 16.20 mts2 x 30.10 mts2 (488 mts2 or 697.86 varas2), with 363 mts2 of construction.
