Our house of the week is a modern villa in La Veleta, a quiet residential area of Torrevieja, Alicante, on the Costa Blanca. This area is known for its sunny climate and long sandy beaches, as well as its promenades, which invite you to take a walk after a day by the sea.
Nearby, there are several shopping centres such as Habaneras (5 km) or La Zenia Boulevard (6 km), golf courses and sports centres, as well as the international airports of Alicante (35 km) and Murcia (43 km).
The villa is situated on a 3,300 m2 plot of land with over 100 palm trees and several lemon, orange, mandarin, pomegranate and olive trees. The garden is equipped with energy-saving lighting and an automatic irrigation system. The 2.30-metre-high wall surrounding the property is made of natural stone, metal and armoured glass, providing privacy and security.
The 910m2 villa, only 50 metres from the sea, offers 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms spread over three floors. On the ground floor there is an entrance area with walnut wood and a large living room, which is adjoined by an elegant dining room. The large kitchen is equipped with stainless steel and offers space for a small dining area in addition to a cooking island.
The open staircase leads to the upper floors, where the spacious bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms are located. Some of the rooms have direct access to the balcony from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the sea.
The luxury offered by this villa in Torrevieja is rounded off by a mosaic pool in the garden, air conditioning and complete sound and heat insulation throughout the house. There is place for two cars in the garage.
