Almost as much terrace as indoor built area

An 80 m² terrace layout alongside a 98 m² built area gives this home nearly equal outdoor and indoor proportions. Buyers looking at a 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Parque Botánico, Benahavís usually have to choose between useable room sizes and proper outside space, whereas the floor plan here balances the two across two levels.

Separation between living and sleeping

Spreading a 98 m² built area across two levels has a clear practical effect: it separates the bedrooms from the daily living and dining room. The duplex layout separates the bedrooms from the daily living space, so one person can sleep while another uses the fully equipped kitchen. The apartment has two bedrooms and a single bathroom. Having one bathroom for two bedrooms is the main trade-off to weigh up here; it works cleanly for a couple using the second room as an office or occasional guest room, and less well for four adults sharing the flat at the same time. The property is a resale and is sold fully furnished, removing the delay of kitting out a home from scratch, though a buyer on a viewing should check the exact inventory list and the working age of the kitchen appliances.

The 80 m² terrace and what the community includes

With 80 m² of outdoor space divided across terraces, there is room for full dining furniture and sun loungers without having to move one to use the other. Large windows connect the rooms to the outside and bring natural light into the flat. Because the terraces are a central reason to buy this 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Parque Botánico, Benahavís, it is worth checking the compass orientation on site to see which areas catch morning sun and which hold the afternoon heat. Beyond the private terraces, the Parque Botánico development includes a swimming pool, communal gardens and parking. Having allocated parking within the grounds simplifies arriving with shopping or luggage, and the communal pool and green areas are maintained through the community rather than requiring private upkeep.

Position in the Benahavís hills

Parque Botánico sits in an elevated position surrounded by the natural landscape of Benahavís. That elevation gives the development a quieter setting away from coastal road noise, while keeping it within driving reach of the Costa del Sol coastline, local golf courses, Marbella and Puerto Banús. Living in the hills of Benahavís means daily errands, shops and restaurants require a car, making the included parking space a daily necessity rather than a bonus.
