An 85 square metre flat with a large terrace and a separate kitchen

An 85 square metre built area and a 35 square metre terrace define the scale of this resale home. This 3 bedroom middle floor apartment with garden in Benahavís sits within a private residential complex that includes a communal pool, a storage room and parking. Because the outdoor area equals more than forty per cent of the built footprint, a significant share of day-to-day living happens outside the walls.

How the 85 square metres are divided

Fitting three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living-dining room and an independent kitchen into an 85 square metre built area requires compact proportions. You will not find sprawling hallways or oversized suites here; the floor plate works hard to give a family or a remote worker a third room without losing the separate kitchen and utility room. Having the cooking and laundry shut behind a door keeps noise and smells away from the main living-dining space, which is a practical advantage in a home of this size. Of the two bathrooms, one is fitted with a bathtub and the other with a shower, avoiding morning queues when all three bedrooms are occupied.

The 35 square metre terrace and communal grounds

The living-dining room opens directly onto the 35 square metre terrace. An outdoor space of this size easily accommodates both a proper dining table for six and separate seating, rather than forcing you to choose between the two. Within the wider complex, residents share a communal swimming pool and garden areas. For a buyer looking at a 3 bedroom middle floor apartment with garden in Benahavís, this setup means you have substantial private outdoor space off the living room while the shared pool and garden are maintained by the community.

Storage, parking and what to check on a viewing

A private parking space and a separate storage room are included with the property. In an 85 square metre home with three bedrooms, that storage room is essential rather than a bonus, as it takes items that would otherwise fill the bedroom wardrobes. When viewing, measure the bedrooms against your existing furniture and check the aspect of the terrace to see when the sun hits the doors.
