Idyllic Location
Enjoys a peaceful cul-de-sac location, a short walk from Girona´s historic centre.
Rural Setting
Particularly handy for woodland walks and nearby bike trails.
Balcony Views
Boasts one of the most spectacular views of Girona – with a gorgeous 180-degree panorama of forested hills to the east, sweeping across to the cathedal and old town to the west – views to enjoy both from the balcony and the roof terrace.
Three Bedrooms
Benefits from three bedrooms (including a double bedroom with balcony), a bathroom, a lounge with balcony, a kitchen and a separate dining room, as well as use of an upstairs laundry room and large storeroom (a rarity in Spanish apartments) along with a stunning roof terrace.
Available Now
The first-floor apartment of 90 square metres is brimming with possibilities for a young family – or would also suit working professionals or a retired couple – and is available to move into more or less immediately (with no onward chain) and with viewings possible from 20 August 2020 onwards.
Description
Passing through the front gate and taking the external staircase up from the street, upon entering the apartment, heading straight ahead would take you into the dining room and then into the kitchen beyond. Alternatively, turning right leads into the hallway, taking you into the family lounge, which is a wonderfully bright and airy living space flooded with natural light, providing your first taste of the forest views across the valley.
The south-facing balcony is accessed directly through French windows from the lounge, and also continues to the master bedroom, overlooking the wooded valley of Sant Daniel – a perfect spot for relaxing with a gin and tonic or an ice cold beer on a lovely summer´s evening, typically enjoying ten hours of glorious sunshine all-year round, from mid-morning to dusk – which later in the day, with a bit of luck, is more than likely to be lit up by an exquisite sunset creating a dramatic backdrop to the cathedral.
The tiled kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a range of fitted wall and base units with work tops, a double sink with mixer tap, and a gas hob with stainless steel extractor hood and oven, with room for a breakfast table and fridge/freezer, opening to the dining room, where recessed spotlights and a charming natural stone chimney breast create an attractive focal point to the room.
The master bedroom is a light-filled double bedroom again with French windows leading on to the balcony, with cathedral views (which can also be enjoyed over breakfast sitting up in bed!) The second bedroom sits to the rear of the apartment, and benefits from full-height fitted cupboards. The adjacent third bedroom is a cosy single bedroom (or with bunk beds) which could also lend itself to use as a playroom or a music room. The tiled bathroom includes a WC, washbasin and vanity unit with storage cupboards, bidet and bath with shower.
Leaving through the front door, taking the external staircase leads up to the roof which is shared with our one downstairs neighbour, and includes a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, also including the gas boiler which provides central heating throughout the apartment. The roof terrace spans the front of the property, with the rolling hills of pines and conifers across the valley providing a spectacular setting to enjoy summer barbecues with family and friends.
Location
The delightful family apartment is located towards the end of Pujada a la Torrassa, a remarkably quiet cul-de-sac, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a home stunningly situated on the lower slopes of Montjuic hill, overlooking the beautiful Sant Daniel Valley nestling just behind Girona cathedral. It´s hard to believe you´re just a stone´s throw from Girona´s old quarter – in fact, the apartment offers the perfect blend of city and country living, ideally placed to combine walks to and from town with the peace and tranquility of the open countryside.
It´s difficult to overstate the benefits of life in Girona. Whether you´re looking to retire to Girona, or for a holiday home in Spain, the apartment is perfectly suited to all-year-round living. It´s also well situated for working in Girona itself, or for commuting to Barcelona by the excellent 40 minute train service.
The town´s historic Jewish quarter is renowned for the delightful medieval atmosphere of its maze of meandering alleyways. Complemented by a flourishing cafe and restaurant scene, providing a vast range of culinary experiences from Spain and further afield, it’s no wonder Girona has become such a desirable place to live and visit.
