Open-plan living beneath a full-floor roof terrace

An open-plan living and dining room forms the main hub of this home, sitting alongside three bedrooms and four bathrooms while the entire upper level is given over to an outdoor terrace. This 3 bedroom 4 bathroom penthouse duplex with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara is a resale home with a 149 m2 built area. Because two of the three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, the third bedroom and any visiting guests have two further bathrooms between them, which prevents morning queues when the house is full.

An 87 m2 upper-level terrace and what the community includes

The entire upper level is an 87 m2 rooftop terrace facing south-east, taking in 360-degree views of the town, La Concha mountain, and the Mediterranean Sea. Rather than obliging someone to carry trays up and down the stairs from the main kitchen, the terrace has its own outdoor kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, and barbecue, alongside lounge and dining areas. The water element listed in the property data as a private pool is specified in the layout as a private jacuzzi on the terrace. The upper terrace serves as a private outdoor space overlooking the town's main pedestrian avenue.

Living on the main pedestrian avenue

Stepping out of the building puts you straight onto a pedestrianised street in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, with no passing traffic immediately below the windows. Supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and clothes shops are all reached on foot, and the boulevard, beach, and seafront promenade lie further down towards the coast. For wider trips, Marbella, Puerto Banús, and local golf courses are a short drive along the coast road.

Details to check when viewing

When inspecting a 3 bedroom 4 bathroom penthouse duplex with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara right in the town centre, parking is the first practical question to settle, as no garage space is mentioned in the specification. It is also sensible to test the water pressure and heating on the upper-level outdoor kitchen and jacuzzi, and to listen for footfall or café noise from the pedestrian street below at different times of the day.
