We present this charming house, located in Silvares São Martinho, a parish belonging to the municipality of Fafe, characterized by its tranquility and proximity to the city. Entry to this property is through a beautiful and majestic wrought iron gate, offering panoramic views of the surrounding nature.
The property consists of a T3-type house, with a gross area of 534 m2, situated on a plot of approximately 547 m2. Additionally, there is an adjacent plot of approx. 3,550 m2, included in the expanding urban PDM with shared running water from co-owners, also benefiting for self-consumption. A set of photovoltaic panels is installed, in addition to thermal ones on the roof for heating sanitary water.
The house has 3 floors. On the lower part, there is a garage with capacity for 3 cars. We also find a spacious living room with a fireplace equipped with a heat recovery system, a full bathroom, and a spacious and complete laundry room with built-in cabinets. On this floor, we also find a technical room, where the central vacuum system and water distribution are located, namely the automatic irrigation system for the exterior garden.
On the intermediate floor, a wide corridor in noble wood leads us to the various divisions of the house. A spacious dining and living room, with direct access to a balcony and a generous outdoor terrace.
The kitchen, very functional, is fully equipped. It has a pantry and a sitting area where there is a fireplace with a heat recovery system. In this corridor, there is a sanitary installation to support this area of the house. Similarly, the corridor gives access to a small T1, which benefits from the same terrace that has direct access to the street, giving it autonomy. This is indeed a peculiarity and an added value, as we find a kitchen, a full bathroom, and a bedroom.
Access to the upper floor is via a beautiful set of stairs, illuminated along their path by natural light provided by the existence of stained glass windows. On this floor, we find 3 large bedrooms, one of which is a suite, with built-in wardrobes and a full bathroom to support the remaining 2 bedrooms.
The house has high energy efficiency (A+), supported by the existence of wooden frames, double glazing, and insulated electric shutters, double walls, as well as a gas heating system and a solution resulting from a wood-burning heat recovery system interconnected to the house's radiators. A set of air conditioning split units in some rooms of the house (bedrooms and kitchen) contributes to this efficiency.
The property is located in one of the most peaceful and appreciated areas of the Municipality of Fafe, as it offers a perfect combination of rural tranquility and proximity to the city. The proximity to the highway allows access to Porto in 40 minutes, Braga in 25 minutes, and Guimarães in 15 minutes. There is also ease of access to all essential services and amenities, such as schools, supermarkets, healthcare, and leisure areas.
