The first space we encounter is a voluminous living-dining area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen – so you won’t miss any snippets of conversation around the table – although it could easily be screened off if preferred. From here, we can step right out into the tranquil garden.

There are five bedrooms in total, each with different dimensions but the same oversized windows to let the sunlight flood in – at this elevation, the light quality is particularly special.

The property has three full bathrooms (some with bathtub and hydro-massage shower) and three additional WCs.

Ascending to the attic, we find a sizeable open-plan space perfect for working and meeting clients; alternatively, it would make a fabulous games room.

The basement contains a spacious garage accommodating two cars or one car and a motorcycle, a housekeeper’s area with bedroom and bathroom that could easily be converted to a utility room and a large, soundproofed multipurpose room overlooking the pool.

One of the standout attractions of this home is its outdoor space, including a garden with a heated, fully enclosable swimming pool that’s even equipped with a counter current unit for a more strenuous home workout.

With extensive terracing and spectacular views of the Madrid skyline, you’ll soon find your favourite spot for kicking back on lazy summer evenings.

The property is equipped with a lift, underfloor heating and an air conditioning system for ultimate comfort and convenience.

It earns bonus points for its outstanding location in a quiet and very pleasant enclave within easy reach of local shops and services, the metro system, various other public transport options, international schools, central Madrid and the airport.

If you hate to settle for the less-than-perfect, this extraordinary home could be just what you’ve been looking for.
