House in Manantiales de Carrasco with 3 bedrooms and service room

Spacious house with 319 m2 built on 304 m2 of land. It is a 12 m front plot built from dividing wall to dividing wall and due to the amount of built meters it leaves little free space, being even so a very luminous and ventilated house. The land has a fence with front fence, with a pedestrian gate with intercom and electric lock and a motorised vehicle gate with remote control. The garage has another hardwood gate that is raised with two remote control motors. The water, electricity and gas meters are located outside. The house is the extension of an old 1930's house that was at a lower level than the street level in 1997 when it was built in the Manantiales de Carrasco neighbourhood. Therefore in its extension it was decided to use the ground floor as a semi-basement for bedrooms and the reception on the upper floor. In order to balance the volumetry of the building with the surroundings, the social rooms on the upper floor have an average ceiling height of one and a half storeys. The upper floor roofs are multi-pitched ‘a la porteña’ made up of a heavy structure in exposed hardwood with exposed lower field shingles, which supports a slab with waterproofing membrane and 50 mm ATR foam insulation and on top of it a second concrete slab for the traditional seat with Cerro Negro French tile mortar. The paving inside the house is almost uniformly (with the exception of two bathrooms) of flamed quebracho stoneware from Olmos with wooden details. The garden is at street level and does not exceed the threshold of the bedroom windows. On the ground floor there is a large double garage of about 50 m2 with a large window to the garden at the back and access to the bedroom area. The bedrooms are three: a suite to the front with its bathroom, dressing room and additional wardrobes, two generous 3.5 x 5 m bedrooms with wardrobes (in polished wood and lined throughout) and a bathroom that assists these two bedrooms, all with windows to the garden. At the end of the corridor there is a storage room where the gas boiler for the central heating and hot water of the house is located. The hot water system is made of high quality thermofusion and has a sanitary ring to have instant hot water when opening the tap in circuit with an electric boiler (which has been disconnected due to electricity saving but it is feasible to reinstall it). The upper floor has several accesses, either from the front via a staircase leading directly to the gallery in front of the entrance hall, from the garage via the corridor from the bedrooms to the interior staircase, or from the garage to the small back garden via a service staircase leading directly to the kitchen. So there are multiple circulation options, whether for visitors, family or services. At the front on the upper floor there is a large reception area that covers the 12 m width of the plot in two rooms, a large living-dining room of 6x6 m with a large window that has a false balcony to put plants, and in contact with this room through a large archway there is a complementary living room with a wood cooker that has two windows that allow the view to the front and back with an exterior terrace with eaves on each side. The front terrace leads to the entrance hall, and the back terrace, which can be accessed from the living room with cooker or from the central circulation hall, contains an outdoor living area with a large barbecue area overlooking the back garden. The central circulation hall connects the front reception, the staircase to the bedrooms, a guest toilet, the exit to the barbecue terrace and the passage to a second intimate living room of 3.5 x 6 m with a bow-window with a seat on the garden wall and a wood-burning cooker in the dividing wall, and is the passage area to the kitchen and service area. The house has four 1.2 x 1.2 m polycarbonate skylights in the staircase, living room, kitchen and service area, which complement the light at the far ends of the walls with openings to the outside. The social bathroom takes light from the skylight in the stairwell through fixed glass at a great height, and the same solution is applied in the service bathroom. From the intimate living room there is access to a large kitchen of 3.5 x 6m with window and exit via stairs to the back garden and a skylight at roof level. It has plenty of cupboards and a fixed dining table, and access to a laundry room with a wash basin and space on each side for dryer and washing machine. The property has piped gas access in the kitchen and a gas or electric dryer outlet (which can be electric or gas). There is also a water connection in the place of the refrigerator. The laundry room has a built-in ironing board and access to a service bedroom and a full service bathroom from there. The back garden has an area of approximately 6x8 m with some unevenness with steps and is crossed at one angle by the staircase leading down from the kitchen. In another corner there is an enclosed enclosure with a stainless steel buffer tank with a pressure pump with easy-press to supply drinking water to the house. The back is completely enclosed with block walls (and section of fence over them) covered with perennial vines. The front retreat has a half occupied by the access ramp to the garage and the access staircase to reception, and the other half is landscaped, with railings against the boundaries with vines around the perimeter fence. The property has air conditioning (split) in the reception area and in two bedrooms. The heating is underfloor heating (with Pex pipes) and works strongly in bedrooms but requires many hours of use to compensate for the high volume of ceilings upstairs. The ideal thermal balance is achieved by using the two traditional cookers with very good draught and the occasional supplement of the 24,000 BTU air conditioner in the living room. The house has a 10 KW connection to UTE and the sewerage is connected to the sewerage system. It has a rainwater buffer well under the access ramp to the garage with an electric pump to extract excess rainwater to the pavement. The property is regularised, free of encumbrances and ready to be transferred. It is a mortgageable property and suitable for purchase with bank financing.
