Two floors, two terraces and a beachside walk in San Pedro

A built area of 198 square metres gives this resale property the footprint of a medium-sized house, arranged over the top two levels of its building. For anyone looking at a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom penthouse duplex in San Pedro de Alcántara, the practical value here is the separation of the bedrooms across both floors and a position on the beachside of the town.

How the two levels divide the rooms

The lower floor handles the daily traffic. It holds an open-plan living and dining room with an equipped kitchen, lit by large windows that pull the eye out toward the water. Two of the four bedrooms sit on this entry level, served by one full bathroom and a separate guest toilet. Keeping two bedrooms downstairs means older relatives or visiting friends do not have to climb the internal stairs, while the guest toilet keeps visitors out of the bedrooms altogether.

Upstairs is quieter. The main bedroom takes up a major portion of this level, fitted with its own en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The fourth bedroom is also on this upper floor, alongside the third full bathroom. Having a bathroom for each pair of bedrooms, plus the downstairs cloakroom, prevents morning queues when all four rooms are occupied.

The terraces and what the community includes

Outdoor space is split between the two floors rather than concentrated in one place. On the lower level, a terrace balcony opens directly off the main living area and looks out over the communal gardens, the swimming pool and the sea. Upstairs, both the main bedroom and the fourth bedroom open onto a shared upper terrace. When viewing a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom penthouse duplex in San Pedro de Alcántara with this layout, it is worth checking the exact dimensions of both terraces to see which one takes a dining table and which is better kept for sun loungers.

Down at ground level, the building sits inside a gated community with landscaped gardens and a shared pool. The property also comes with parking, which takes the stress out of returning home during the busy summer months near the coast.

Walking to the beach and daily errands

Being on the beachside of San Pedro de Alcántara changes how a household uses the car. From here, the beach, cafés, restaurants and daily shops are within walking distance. A household can go out for bread, walk to the seafront or eat out in the evening on foot. The flat is ready to move into immediately, though a buyer looking at a resale property of 198 square metres built should check the storage options beyond the main walk-in closet, and confirm whether the parking space is underground or on the surface grounds.
