An 80 m² flat defined by its Lumon-glazed terrace and sea views

An 80 m² built area and a 20 m² terrace define the footprint of this resale home. This 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Selwo belongs to an established residential community in Estepona on the Costa del Sol. Being on a middle floor means neighbours above and below, which usually helps with insulation and avoids the exposed roof of a top floor or the foot traffic near a ground floor.

The 20 m² terrace and Lumon glass

The outdoor space adds a full quarter to the size of the home. Fitted with Lumon glass enclosures, the 20 m² terrace functions as a windbreak in winter and opens up when the weather is warm. From here, the flat looks out to panoramic sea views. For the person living here, glass curtains mean the table and chairs stay dry when the rain blows in from the strait, and the space stays usable on breezy afternoons without blocking the sightline to the water.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms

Inside, the 80 m² built area is divided into two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the main rooms. Having two full bathrooms for two bedrooms removes the morning queue when guests stay over and means neither bedroom has to share its washroom with visitors. At 80 m² built, the rooms are sized for straightforward daily upkeep rather than sprawling furniture, so a buyer should measure the bedrooms against their existing beds and wardrobes during a viewing.

Pool, garden and private parking

The building sits within communal grounds that include a shared swimming pool and garden. Maintenance of both is shared across the community rather than falling on the individual owner, which suits anyone who locks up and leaves the flat for weeks at a time. A private parking space is included with the property, taking away the need to hunt for street parking in Selwo during the busier summer months.

What to check when viewing in Selwo

Selwo sits in the hills of Estepona, close to day-to-day amenities and recreational options, though hilly terrain means most errands are done by car. When viewing this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Selwo, test the tracks on the Lumon glass panels to see that they slide and fold smoothly. It is also worth checking the exact walking route from the private parking space to the front door, and seeing how much direct sun the terrace receives in the late afternoon.
