A 20 square metre terrace and communal gardens in Casasola

A 20 square metre terrace gives this resale 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Guadalmina Baja its private outdoor space, while the development below has a communal pool and garden. The property is in the Guadalmina-Casasola area, 800 metres from the beach, within walking distance of the coast and daily errands.

The terrace and what the community includes

Twenty square metres of terrace is enough for a dining table for four and two sun loungers, or a seating area with planters, though not both without crowding the floor. Because the specification does not state whether the terrace is on one level or split across the duplex, or which direction it faces, checking the orientation and how the outdoor space connects to the rooms is a priority on a viewing. Downstairs, the urbanisation maintains a communal swimming pool and garden, giving residents somewhere to swim and sit outside when they want more space than a twenty-metre terrace provides.

Built area and duplex layout

The home measures 120 square metres of built area, shared between two bedrooms and two bathrooms. In a two-bedroom flat, 120 square metres of built area is a generous footprint, even after accounting for the internal staircase that a duplex layout requires. The written details do not state which rooms sit on the lower or upper level, so a buyer who needs a bedroom on the entrance floor to avoid stairs will want to check the floor plan before visiting. Having two bathrooms for two bedrooms means guests do not need to use the main bedroom's bathroom.

Errands and the walk to the sea

Daily life here does not rely on a car for basic supplies. The building is close to supermarkets, a pharmacy, a petrol station and a padel club, covering food shopping, essentials and sport in the immediate area. Reaching the sea is an 800-metre distance to the beach in the Casasola stretch of Guadalmina Baja.

What is excluded from the sale

Two practical points affect the handover of this 2 bedroom penthouse duplex in Guadalmina Baja. First, the apartment is not sold furnished, so a buyer is taking on a blank canvas and must plan for fitting out both bedrooms, the living area and the terrace from scratch. Second, although the building has parking, the garage space and the storage room are not included in the standard sale; anyone who wants underground parking or locked storage for bicycles and beach gear will need to ask the agent about the terms for acquiring them separately.
