Two levels of outdoor space and scope to modernise in Bel Air

The living and dining room opens directly onto a lower terrace, while the separate fitted kitchen sits alongside with the potential to be knocked through into a single open room. This 2 bedroom penthouse with private pool in Bel Air has 98 square metres of built area and two bathrooms, and it is ready for some modernisation.

Room layout and renovation potential

Because the kitchen is currently separate from the main room, a buyer has a clear choice before moving in. Leaving the wall in place keeps cooking smells and noise shut away from the sitting area, while opening the kitchen to the living room brings more light to the back of the plan and creates a wider room facing the glass. Having two bathrooms alongside the two bedrooms means guests do not need to share a bathroom with the main bedroom. Since the flat would benefit from some modernisation, anyone viewing should look at the kitchen wall to see how straightforward it is to remove, and budget for updating the interior fittings to their own standard.

Two terraces and what the community includes

Outdoor space is split across two levels, with a private roof terrace reached from the lower terrace rather than from inside the flat. Put the dining table on the lower terrace right outside the living room so plates and drinks do not have to be carried up stairs, and keep the upper level for quieter hours. From the roof terrace there are sea views, mountain views and sunset light, which tells you the top of the building is open to the west as well as the coast. On the ground, the flat belongs to a gated community with a communal swimming pool and landscaped communal gardens. The community maintains the shared grounds and pool, while the gated perimeter keeps non-residents out of the complex.

Position between Estepona and San Pedro

Choosing a 2 bedroom penthouse with private pool in Bel Air places you halfway between Estepona and San Pedro on the western Costa del Sol. That midpoint matters for daily errands: you are not tied to one town centre and can reach either direction quickly, while shops, golf courses and local amenities are close to the complex itself. When you visit, check the staircase between the two terraces for ease of use, and note where the afternoon sun falls across the roof terrace.
