3-bedroom house with pool and roof terrace - Funchalinho, Caparica

On a quiet street in Funchalinho, less than five kilometres from the coast, this semi-detached three-bedroom house with 263 sqm of total area and a private pool offers the scale and openness of a detached home within a contemporary development where only two units share the building. Built in 2017 and rated energy class B, it unfolds across three floors with a clarity you feel from the entrance hall, where generous ceiling height and a limestone staircase set the tone for the whole house.

The ground floor organises daily life around a 32,50 sqm living room with a wood-burning insert and wide glazing onto the balcony, where sitting and dining areas coexist comfortably with room to spare for a desk by the window. The fully fitted 13,50 sqm kitchen, in white lacquer with stone worktops, has its own space for a breakfast table and independent access to the outside, the natural route between oven and barbecue on summer days. A full bathroom of 4,15 sqm, with a wide shower tray and floating vanity, serves this level.

Upstairs, a skylit corridor leads to three bedrooms, all with wooden flooring, fitted wardrobes and installed air conditioning. The 18,20 sqm principal bedroom opens onto a balcony overlooking the green surroundings and has an en-suite bathroom with a glass shower enclosure. The remaining two bedrooms, of 14,50 and 14,30 sqm, share a second full bathroom, and a third cloakroom serves the hallway.

The rooftop terrace is what changes the way this house is lived in. With a pergola and open views across Funchalinho, the surrounding fields and the ridge line beyond, this is where late afternoons happen. One level below, at garden level, the 20 sqm pool with composite decking and Portuguese cobblestone paving, the brick barbecue with prep counter, the outdoor shower and the 79 sqm garden form a complete outdoor setting, sheltered by high walls and entirely private. Domestic hot water comes from a thermosiphon solar system with electric backup, which keeps running costs low.

The 58,40 sqm enclosed garage, with automatic door and tiled floor, holds two cars comfortably and includes storage and a service bathroom, welcome after a day at the beach. The cobbled entrance courtyard accommodates additional vehicles.

A move-in ready home requiring no works, minutes from the beaches of Costa da Caparica and with fast access to Lisbon, in an established residential area where quiet and outdoor space are the rule rather than the exception.
