Property of the week: a spacious family home in Las Palmas

As the weather gets colder, many of us wish we could live somewhere that has gorgeous sunshine all year round. This week's property, a spacious, luxury home in the Canary Islands can offer you just that, and a lot more. Located in a quiet residential area in Las Palmas, the villa offers all of the amenities of Gran Canaria's capital city, while still retaining a measure of privacy and seclusion, and being surrounded by green areas. Nearby you will find all of the typically expected services, as well as several sports centres, prestigious private schools, and beautiful parks. Plus the property has easy access to the Las Palmas' ring road meaning you can get anywhere in the city in no time.

The home is built over two floors, with a total of 734m2 of floorspace, and sits on a plot of land measuring 700m2. The interior and exterior are intricately connected, and many parts of the house have direct access to the gardens and terraces so that you can enjoy the sun that the Canary Islands are famous for. The villa also has a total of seven bedrooms, and six bathrooms, so it can accomodate almost any family, and guests as well if you would like. The entire property is finished in exquisite materials from hardwoods to marble floors, and the jaw-dropping forty-three windows around the villa fill the space with natural light.

As you enter the main door on the ground floor you are greeted with a spacious hallway, leading into the heart of the house. To the right you will find an elegant and immense living-dining room with direct access to the gardens and the porch through its various sets of french doors. Meanwhile, to the left you will find a guest toilet and the service area which includes a spacious kitchen, laundry and ironing room and service room. Also on this side of the property there is a second, more private rest area with a living room that has access to the garden, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a cozy, bright corner of the house where an office is located.

The beautiful hardwood staircase in the hall takes you to the upper floor. Here you will find the more private sleeping area, including the gorgeous master suite with an en-suite bathroom and its own dressing room. There are four other bedrooms that share two more bathrooms on this floor as well and also a fabulous private terrace overlooking the garden, for you to enjoy the cool winter afternoons and warm summer nights. The garage is below the house proper, accessed from outside by a ramp, and from inside by a stairwell, though there is also a pre-installed lift shaft, should you wish to install a lift here. The garage has space for up to eight cars, and has its own separate tool room, that could also be used as a storage space. Finally there is the outside space, comprised mostly of a gorgeous terrace, including a covered area, and the minimalist garden, with its own irrigation system. 

This magnificent home in Las Palmas is an excellent opportunity to grab a property in the sun. If you are thinking of a move to the canary islands, this could be the property for you. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 3,495,000 euros.
