This incredible house in the heart of Coin is quite simply an artists masterpiece - a superbly renovated piece of history, and one with many stories to tell and secrets to keep.
Built around a ‘Patio Andaluz’ this 3 floored property encircles the patio squarely, each floor open and looking down onto the courtyard where a stunning freshwater fountain stands proud. Playing host to 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 3 of which are ensuite, this property languishes over 488m2.
Through the old wooden doors leading straight from the tranquil village street you are transported into this ornate courtyard. From every side you can stroll into a different part of the house. The kitchen showcases modern appliances and fittings yet these sit juxtaposed to the brick walls and wooden beamed ceiling, creating a sense that two worlds collide - the olde and the new. Two of the kitchens counters are conjoined by the ingenious use of a wooden section along which barstools are placed offering further seating. The kitchen opens up along the far side to the inner terrace where a small swimming pool sits on one of the sunny corners and surrounded by crisp white walls and a modern mural seemingly keeping an eye on its residents.
Alongside the kitchen is a sitting room, open and spacious, furnished with wooden furniture atop marble floors, with doors that open up on either side allowing freedom of passage to the next hidden secret.
Moving up to the middle floor of this hidden gem, taking in the eclectic artwork that surpasses expectations at every turn, you find 4 of the 7 bedrooms on every side. The hallways, open save for curtains draped on every corner, are protected by slim wooden beamed ceilings, as wide as the hallways and dressed with finest art, statues and diverse pieces of furniture. Turn your gaze upward and you are greeted by the sheer expanse of sky - It is both calming and soothing.
Each bedroom on this floor is starkly different to its neighbour but equally as illuminating, with huge windows that open to the outside and allow natural light to flood in. Some bedrooms are vast enough to offer lounging areas in which to relax and contemplate the complexity of the property. The bathrooms are noble in their settings and again the artists unconventional flair comes to life as the sublime use of a huge array of materials is showcased - brick, sandstone and wood flourishes are styled side by side in unison. The master suite on this floor also enjoys the private use of a shaded terrace overlooking the pool and taking in the colossal mural that decorates the one wall.
Further up on the final top floor are the 3 remaining bedrooms. Interconnecting doors all passage through, all the while permitting your gaze to move outside through the wall length windows and down onto the ‘pool side’ terrace. Bathrooms on this floor are breathtaking in their design and their dressing, with ornate carved wooden sink units and virtually open shower spaces. The understated grandeur used by the artist is almost overwhelming in its display, yet certainly not surprising.
Without doubt this is one of the most remarkable and all embracing properties you will ever set foot in. Simplistic in some forms, modern in others but charming and inviting throughout.
To own this piece of architectural brilliance would be akin to immersing yourself in both the immortality of history and the grandiose lifestyle that this masterpiece would most certainly offer.
Imagine adding your stories to those that already live within ……
