Sal, Cape Verde

This is a wow factor one-bedroom penthouse with one of the best views in in Vila Verde. From your balcony - even from your bed - you can see the ocean at Kite Beach, a wide expansive vista of Santa Maria, as well as the fabulous pools and gardens of Sedum, Vila Verde.
The current owners have vastly upgraded the décor and furniture, leaving a wonderful, light and airy space. These one-bedroom penthouses, known as T1s, are increasingly scarce on the market, and with a view such as this, the excellent condition of the apartment and a great communal pool, this Sedum penthouse is likely to sell very quickly.
Sold part furnished, the accommodation comprises:
secure key-coded access, stairways and lifts to the top floor, with a solid, secure entrance
Hallway with floor to ceiling storage
To the right, a marvellous open plan living area, with air conditioning (sofa included)
Large dining area, in front of the double windows, complete with shutters
South-facing balcony, with wide views of the east coast unspoilt beaches and ocean, sweeping round to see all of Santa Maria, past the Hilton hotel towards the west coast
Past the hallway storage, a fully equipped kitchen to the left, with American-style fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher or washing machine
To the left on entry, storage/wardrobes floor to ceiling, leading to
Large fully-tiled bathroom with full-sized bath and shower over, shelving, high quality appliances, fixtures and fittings, plumbing for a bidet or washing machine
Door to double bedroom, with floor to ceiling wardrobes and double bed, juliette balcony, also south facing.
NB the owner will be taking much of the furniture, excepting bed, sofa, large shabby chic cupboard and mirror, on completion of this sale. This leaves the incoming buyer with a blank canvas to work with, and customize to their style.
Sedum is a very popular and friendly community, with working lifts, an entry phone system, tropical gardens with a children's playground and pool, plus the vast adult pool. With 24-hour security, you can rest well, and the apartment with excellent double glazing is quiet, despite its position in the heart of Vila Verde. With a couple of minutes' walk, you are at the supermarket and restaurant, a little further to the Cactus pool bar and restaurant, a bike hire shop, the café/gelateria and the free shuttle bus stop.
