Sea views from all three bedrooms and a rooftop pool above town

A communal rooftop pool with open mountain views provides the outdoor space for this building, giving residents a place to sit in the sun without leaving the address. Below, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom middle floor apartment with beachfront in Marbella measures 94 square metres of built area and sits just off the seafront promenade. The value here rests on the immediate access to the sand and the shared roof deck upstairs.

The rooftop pool and what the community includes

Central buildings right on the coast rarely have the land for ground-level gardens, so the communal area goes onto the roof. While the bedrooms face the water, the rooftop pool looks back towards the mountains, separating the swimming area from the street noise below. Down in the basement of the same building, the property includes a private garage space. Having dedicated parking beneath the block removes the main headache of owning a home in the middle of town, where street spaces are scarce for most of the year.

Sea views and renovated rooms

Unusually for a town-centre flat, all three bedrooms look out to the sea rather than into an internal light well or a narrow side street. Each room has fitted wardrobes, and two of the bedrooms also include built-in shelving for extra storage. Both the kitchen and the two bathrooms have been fully renovated, which spares a buyer the disruption of dealing with tradesmen and building permits after completion. In the bathrooms, the layout accommodates both a bath and a separate shower. The living room has high ceilings, marble floors, and a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall designed to bounce light back into the room.

Five minutes on foot to the Old Town

Living in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom middle floor apartment with beachfront in Marbella means the daily routine happens on foot. The beach and the promenade are on the doorstep, and the historic Old Town is about five minutes away walking. Supermarkets, boutiques, bars, and restaurants are a few steps from the front door, so the car can stay parked in the garage below unless you are leaving town.

What to check when you view

A buyer should look at the discrepancy in the paperwork, as the authoritative data records 94 square metres built while the agent text mentions 132.88 square metres; checking the land registry extract and cadastral record will clarify what is shared communal allocation and what is the flat itself. Since the apartment has no private balcony mentioned, test how wide the bedroom windows open and how much afternoon light reaches the living room.
