Property #1665

This massive house is a completely renovated ‘Palacete’ or village Palace in the ducal town of Osuna with two charming patios and most unusually for a town house, a very private garden. 0suna, rich in roman history, perched on a hill surrounded by olive groves is considered to be one of the most central locations in Andalucía with excellent communication to all the important cities. Málaga, Sevilla, Granada and Córdoba are all accessible in less than an hour. All the main services and facilities are to be found within the town, including the bullring, hospital, train station (plus the new station for the fast train – AVE - currently in progress and due for completion within the next two years, cutting travelling time dramatically) and very good shopping including a Euroski commercial centre. Located on a prestigious street in the centre and built more than 150 years ago for the aristocracy. In addition to being centrally located, the house combines all the modern conveniences with traditional Andalucían style. Original features such as marble and stone columns, charming patios, sandstone walls and wooden beams proliferate throughout, demonstrating the painstaking attention to detail of the entire renovation, which has successfully retained the integrity of the original building. Of particular note is the living space at the back of the house, which was originally the old barn and stable area and now offers a wonderful living area, ideal for entertaining, overlooking the intimate back garden. When the storks are nesting in the nearby bell tower, just off the high street, they fly over the garden, combined with the heady scent of jasmine, it feels like an enchanted, magical place and hard to believe it is in the centre of town. The separate self contained apartment consists of a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, sitting room and study area; it is situated on the first floor at the front of the house and with direct access from the street. This apartment being totally independent would be ideal accommodation for members of the family wanting privacy. Alternatively it would be ideal for live-in staff. The distribution is as follows: from the front door, into the lobby and then through a second wooden door into the main hall. Immediately on the right is small reception area with staircase down to the original bodega. Another door off this reception leads into the library with shuttered windows to the street. Back in the hall immediately to the left, a door into the reception room with shuttered windows to the street and metal glazed door giving access to the passageway of the upstairs apartment. Also from this reception room there is a passageway leading to the laundry/utility area. Back in the hall, on the left, three sets of glazed, double doors giving onto the open patio and on the right, a double bedroom. At the end of the hall, doors lead into a small lobby – leading off into a double bedroom on the right and an en-suite bathroom on the left. From this lobby, continue into a reception area with door leading onto the second open patio with orange trees. On the left there is a door to a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Two sets of double doors lead onto the patio from this bedroom. Continue through the house into family sitting room, double doors to the patio and wood burning stove. Connecting doors into the dining room with double doors to the patio, doors into the kitchen – window overlooking the patio. Door from kitchen and a few steps up to the massive larder. Wide steps from the kitchen lead into a reception area at the bottom of the stairs. From here a large wooden door leads into the principal sitting room. This has two windows overlooking the back garden and door to back garden. There is a lavatory at the end of this room. Essentially, all the family living space is located around the orange tree patio, with the exception of the principal sitting room which runs across the back of the house and overlooks the back garden. In the garden there is a paved terrace area, leading to a loggia (with tool shed) on the left and a small lawned garden with fruit trees. To the right is a wooden door into the orange tree garden with the original hen house at the back. Returning to the staircase and upstairs, there is a small passage into the study area/bedroom, which leads into double bedroom with en-suite shower-room. From this passage, there is a door leading into master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. Three, floor to ceiling windows overlook the back garden. The left hand side of the house is the entrance to the self contained apartment. There is a staircase leading to first floor. There is a metal glazed door into apartment. The bathroom is to the immediate right, ahead is the study area leading into the sitting room. Off of the sitting room there is a door into the double bedroom and opening into the kitchen. The bedroom and kitchen overlook the orange tree patio and the rest of the apartment overlooks the first patio.
