About this place
Charming, modernised 3-bedroom townhouse in Almancil Set within a small and private development of just five clustered homes in Almancil, minutes from Quinta do Lago and the surrounding amenities of the Golden Triangle. Distributed over three levels, the property has been updated in recent years with a more contemporary feel, most notably through the use of microcement finishes in the bathrooms, creating a clean, cohesive aesthetic throughout. The main living space sits on the ground floor, where a comfortable lounge with a log burner opens on to a generous terrace, ideal for outdoor dining or relaxed evenings. The adjacent kitchen is fully fitted and well-equipped, complemented by a convenient guest WC on this level. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are on the first floor, offering a practical, family-friendly layout. The principal suite includes its own en suite bathroom and private terrace, while the remaining two bedrooms share a modern shower room. Each space has been designed to feel bright, functional, and easy to live in. The lower level adds further versatility, with a private garage, storage space, and direct access to the exterior. Outside, the property enjoys a large terrace with a BBQ area and direct access to the communal garden and swimming pool, shared with just four neighbouring homes. With air conditioning throughout, multiple outdoor areas, and a quiet residential setting, this townhouse is well-suited as a low-maintenance permanent home, a lock-up-and-leave holiday base, or an investment opportunity in a consistently sought-after location close to the Algarve’s most established resorts.
