Phuket Pads: Great home, great community

PHUKET: The perfect family home is located on a secure estate just walking distance from British International School, and only 15 minutes from Phuket International Academy, two of the most well-known international schools on the island.

The six-bedroom – or five-bedroom plus office – home is in an estate which is already full of expat families, making it extremely convenient for children and parents to settle in and make new friends.
As you drive up the newly paved road, you will notice the quality of build of the property.

Everything is immaculately constructed and pleasing to the eye.

At the front of the house are some pretty gardens, grassy areas and a small entrance way. To the right is a gated parking space for two vehicles, which is covered by part of the house. Lighting has been strategically placed around the perimeter fence and looks terrific when lit up at night.

At the rear of the house are more grassy areas, big enough for the current owners to install a volleyball court. Landscaping includes many designer bamboo trees as well as other indigenous plants and shrubs.

When you walk through the double doors you enter the huge main living space. In fact, the entire house is quite large at 600 square meters. The floors here are tiled, and ceilings fanned, and extra cooling is supplied by several air conditioning units.

The living space is bordered by sliding aluminum doors which open to a large terrace with a dining area, a private, well-stocked bar with stools and an in-ground swimming pool of approximately 60sqm. This area has been set up specifically for entertaining, with a sound system and ceiling fans. What more could you need?

To the left of the main living space is a closeable area which is used for a formal dining room. It looks out over the terrace and swimming pool area.

To the right is a fully appointed western kitchen with a breakfast nook. The kitchen has gas and electric cooking appliances and black granite counter tops.

Beautifully crafted wooden stairs lead to the second level, which has hardwood flooring – a very attractive feature. The master bedroom is upstairs, overlooking the backyard and surrounding bushland. All bedrooms on this level have en-suite bathrooms and sliding doors which lead to a large balcony and sun deck. There is even another outdoor staircase which leads down to the pool area.

Up another set of stairs you will find the attic, which has been converted into both another bedroom and a private office for those who wish to work from home.

This lovely property comes fully furnished, with many utilities included, such as satellite TV, telephone lines, fiber-optic broadband connection, central water heating and three-phase electricity.

The house and Chanote land title deed are held in a clean company for an easy purchase.

The property has been drastically reduced to 18 million baht for a quick sale.
