This villa in Birre is one of those rare homes that you walk into and immediately think, *this should be on the cover of a magazine*. It flows beautifully, it feels effortless, and every corner has been designed for people who love beauty, comfort and good company.
Tucked away on a quiet culdesac, in a calm residential pocket of Birre, the house has that precious mix of privacy and convenience. Step outside and you are a few minutes from neighbourhood cafés and restaurants, golf courses, riding stables, supermarkets and top international schools like TASIS, the American School and King’s College.
Completely refurbished over the past two years, the villa now feels almost brand new. You enter into a generous hall that opens onto a spectacular living room with ceilings up to 5 metres high. The space is naturally divided into a dining area and a cosy lounge with a fireplace, framed by large windows that pull in the light and the garden. Underfoot, elegant *Estremoz marble* runs through the whole social area, giving the house a soft, timeless glow.
The kitchen is where this home really tells its story. It is big, bright and made to be used: a true *chef’s kitchen*, with highend builtin appliances, custom cabinetry and a second fireplace that makes winter dinners feel special. A full wall of windows overlooks the pool and terrace, so whoever is cooking never feels far from the action. It is a kitchen to live in, to linger in, to host cooking classes or a long buffet that slowly turns into a party.
On the main bedroom floor, a mezzanine lounge looks over the living room and works as a quiet reading or TV corner. The master suite is spacious and tranquil, with a beautiful walkin closet and a very private feel. Right next door, another suite with good storage opens onto a shared balcony with views over the pool and neighbourhood.
The top floor adds another layer of flexibility: a comfortable living area, an extra bedroom, a complete bathroom and a terrace with open views – perfect for guests, teenagers, hobbies or a quiet home office.
Outside, the house keeps its promise. There is a pool that catches the sun, a BBQ area and several corners to sit, read, eat or simply enjoy the garden. The existing closed garage can very easily be transformed into a fourth bedroom or studio, as there is more than enough space on the plot to create a covered outdoor parking area. An annex with its own bathroom works beautifully as a guest suite, gym or workspace.
What makes this villa truly special is not just the layout or the materials, but the care behind them. The refurbishment has been followed detail by detail, and it shows: the house feels elegant but relaxed, sophisticated but not formal – a place where a family that loves to cook, host friends and live with grace will feel instantly at home.
This is a rare turnkey villa in Birre: private, beautifully finished and ready for the next chapter. It is the kind of home that really has to be experienced in person.
