Second-floor living with almost as much terrace as built area

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make up the layout of this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Cancelada, identified as Apartment B on the second floor of Block 4, Portal 12 in Acqua Gardens. The 133 m² built area pairs with a 94 m² private terrace, meaning the outdoor footprint is nearly equal in size to the rooms inside. Because the written details do not specify how the rooms are split across the duplex or which rooms open directly onto the terrace, a viewing should start by checking the stairs and the flow between the main rooms and the outside.

The terrace and what comes with thecommunity

At 93.60 m² (rounded to 94 m² in the main register), the private terrace is large enough to hold separate zones for dining, lounging and drying laundry without one crowding the other. When you view, it is worth checking the orientation of Block 4 to see where the sun falls across that expanse in the morning and late afternoon. Downstairs, the gated Acqua Gardens community provides more than the standard pool and lawn. Residents share outdoor swimming pools, landscaped gardens with walking paths, a gym, and co-working and multi-purpose social spaces. Having a dedicated workspace and gym on site saves a remote worker from converting the third bedroom into an office or driving out for daily exercise.

Parking, storage and the numbers

The deeded ancillaries are precisely measured: the apartment includes a 12.50 m² private parking space and a 5.50 m² storage room. A storage room of over five square metres is large enough to take bicycles, golf bags and suitcases off the main floors, keeping the three bedrooms clear of bulky gear. In the agent figures, the usable area within the walls is noted as 95.70 m² out of the 133 m² built area, which is a helpful distinction to keep in mind when measuring for furniture across three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
