houses


Explanation:
Hola César!
Esto significa viviendas [houses] separadas----versus apartamentos o departamentos en bloque-----según el Oxford.

Aquí te expongo la traducción (copiada y pegada) del Oxford:

unifamiliar adj: viviendas unifamiliares:- houses (as opposed to apartments in a block)

Suerte!

agree  Сергей Лузан: "detached house". Met it many times in my students textbooks.Used to construct them myself when being a student in Kazakhstan. Agree as a Ph. D. in construction management. My version - below.

neutral  Terry Burgess: EDRD, I truly hate to disagree but "detached" is not necessarily the case. I was born and grew up in a "house" which was NOT "detached" from the one next door...I just wish it had been:-))))

"One-family house; A family house; detached house"


Explanation:
or simply - "a house" dependent upon the context. Here, as I presume, "detached" would be the most appropriate version in compliance with the given context - a legal document.
Good luck & suerte!
