More terrace than built area in a 2020 block

Supermarkets, shops, restaurants and the beach are all within walking distance, taking the car out of daily errands. This 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Bel Air was built in 2020 and sits between Marbella and Estepona. It is a resale property in a contemporary building, offering 110 m² of built area alongside 138 m² of terrace.

The rooms and the 2020 build

Inside, the 110 m² built area holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Having a bathroom for each bedroom means two couples or a resident and a house guest do not share facilities. The living room has large windows and sliding doors that bring in light and open directly onto the balcony. The kitchen comes equipped with its appliances and has a separate utility room, which keeps the washing machine, drying racks and cleaning gear out of the kitchen and living room. Because construction finished in 2020, the wiring, plumbing and glazing meet modern building standards rather than those of the older stock common on this stretch of coast.

Balcony, rooftop terrace and the community

Outdoor space here is larger than the indoor footprint. The 138 m² total terrace area is split between the balcony off the living room and a large rooftop terrace with panoramic views of both the sea and the mountains. On a viewing, it is worth checking how the stairs to the roof terrace are arranged, where the water and power points sit up there, and how exposed the roof is to the wind. Downstairs, the shared grounds include a communal pool and gardens. A buyer should check what goes toward maintaining the garden planting and the pool.

Two garage spaces and a walkable routine

Most two-bedroom flats on the coast come with a single parking bay, leaving a two-car household to hunt for street parking in August. This 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Bel Air includes two garage spaces and a storage room. That makes it straightforward to keep a car securely parked while still having space for a visitor's vehicle, and the storeroom takes luggage, tools and beach gear out of the flat. Being on the beachside between Marbella and Estepona, with shops and restaurants on foot, also means you do not have to cross the main coastal road just to reach the sand or buy groceries.
