Two bedroom apartment in a gated condominium in Madalena, less than a kilometre from the beach

In Madalena, Vila Nova de Gaia, with pine woods standing between the area and the coastline, this two bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a 2003 building within a gated condominium, with planted grounds, maintained hedging and a paved inner courtyard offering surface parking inside the perimeter. It measures 130 m² in total gross area, of which 105 m² is gross private area.

Entry is through a proper hall with a video entryphone, from which the rest of the apartment opens without wasted corridor. The living room is large and bright, has a granite fireplace and opens through sliding doors onto a generous balcony fitted with an external blind.

The kitchen is fully fitted, with wood cabinetry, granite worktops, hob, oven and dishwasher, and has room of its own for a dining table. It also has an adjoining enclosed utility area for laundry and direct access to the same balcony. This is the strength of the layout: the balcony serves both the living room and the kitchen, so the outdoor space is used from two sides of the apartment rather than one.

Both bedrooms have wood flooring and good natural light, and the apartment has two full bathrooms, one with a shower tray and glass screen. Central heating runs throughout by radiator. The apartment is in good condition and ready to move into, with no work outstanding.

Included is a closed garage box in the basement, generously sized: one car fits comfortably with usable space left over for storage. Surface parking within the condominium is available in addition.

The location puts beach, pine woods and city all within a short reach, with the beaches of Madalena and Valadares a few minutes away, shops and services close by, quick access to the A29 and the EN109, and central Porto around twenty minutes by car.
