This is an opportunity to purchase a unique and historic townhouse, which has been owned by the same Spanish family for over 120 years. Located in the heart of the village of Alcalalí in the Jalon valley offering five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large courtyard, and secured parking space for a few cars. This incredible property still maintains its original features. This was an opulent residence for an esteemed family within the community, and it has retained every bit of its character and charm. Distributed over three levels, with two entrances from both street sides, one to the parking area and the other one via the front door. We enter through solid wooden double doors into the grand open-plan living/dining area with a feature fireplace. There is a working water well which fills with rainwater and can be used to water the plants in the garden. All doors on this level open directly to the courtyard. Furthermore, on this floor, there is a large bedroom and a separate family bathroom. The kitchen is a traditional Spanish country kitchen and it leads out to an open terrace looking out over the courtyard. Here we find a large storage room and an outdoor shower bathroom. An internal staircase leads to the upper level, where we find a further living room with the original floor tiles, high ceilings with wooden beams and bedroom doors, which are in excellent condition. Four spacious double bedrooms lead off from this living space and all of them have large windows which provide for lots of daylight. Furthermore, there is a walk-in dressing room and a family bathroom. A large pellet burner provides warmth to this floor in the winter months. Finally, stairs lead to a large roof terrace where you can sit and take in outstanding views of the Jalón Valley and the church, across the rooftops to the mountains. The courtyard has approximately 200m², walled and totally private, with a second entrance with access from the street behind, through the garage/carport. The central square from Alcalalí is just a few minutes walk away, a beautiful, medieval church and bell tower provide a stunning backdrop for drinks and tapas or morning coffee. A five minute walk takes you to the sports centre and olympic sized swimming pool, which is a social centre in the summer months. Alcalalí has all your everyday amenities, including a butcher, baker and a small supermarket. In addition, the larger town of Jalón, with two large supermarkets, banks and schools, is a 5-minute drive. The closest beach is also just 25 minutes away. This is a house with a story to tell and is a rare opportunity to own a historical treasure.
