Villa in Sitges, Barcelona, Spain 5 bedrooms, 890 sq.m. No. 192713

Set in quiet seclusion but just a couple of blocks from the amazing beaches of Sitges, this striking luxury villa has a unique design and a real wow factor, with sweeping living spaces and every modern comfort.

It combines the best of modern living with easy access to both a beach lifestyle and relaxing in your own private outdoor space. The sleek gardens offer tranquillity and versatility, with a stunning triangular pool and a jacuzzi, barbecue, porch, large open lawn area, trees and plenty of open and covered terraces for relaxing and entertaining.

The designer style is clear as soon as you approach the house along the pathway that takes you under the building itself and through the impressive double-height entrance hall with slate flooring and vast expanses of glass.

Bold use of huge glass walls floods the house with natural night and also lets the outside in, with views of the garden and/or central atrium from every room. All 4 bedroom suites look onto the central patio with its lush tropical plants, including the main suite with its dressing room and large bathroom with a double Corian sink unit.

There is also a bathroom that can be accessed from the garden, which is perfect for people coming in from the pool or returning from the beach.

The sweeping open living spaces face out onto the garden. The modern kitchen includes a central island, Gaggenau appliances and built-in AEG coffee maker, has a large kitchen table and cosy corner with sofa and TV, plus a wall of glass that opens onto a covered porch area overlooking the pool and garden. The living area and dining room also has walls of glass doors opening onto the garden.

A beautiful glass staircase leads up to a large open-plan mezzanine room with fitted shelving and wooden flooring. This would make a perfect studio, office, library or music room and it also has glass walls that overlook the garden and features a rooftop terrace with stones and planters.

Downstairs there is a basement with a service staff bedroom and bathroom, a large living room that would make a great studio or games room, plus a 7-car garage, laundry room and storage room.

The property is quiet and peaceful and in a safe neighbourhood, but the surveillance system adds extra peace of mind.
