Top-floor layout wrapped in a fifty-square-metre terrace

The living and dining room of this 2 bedroom penthouse in Casares opens straight onto a private wrap-around terrace through large sliding doors. The main bedroom also connects directly to its own stretch of that outdoor space, while a second double bedroom, two full bathrooms and an equipped kitchen complete the 90 square metres of built area. Because the terrace surrounds the apartment completely, natural light enters the rooms from multiple angles rather than a single front facade.

The terrace and what the community includes

At 50 square metres, the private terrace is more than half the size of the built area itself. It runs right around the top floor and holds open views of both the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains. Having outdoor space on more than one side of the building means you can follow the sun or move into the shade as the day progresses. Downstairs, the communal grounds contain kept gardens, a large communal swimming pool, a separate children's pool and a tennis court. A private underground parking space and a storage room are included with the property, keeping cars out of the sun and sports kit out of the flat.

Inside the rooms and the kitchen

In the living room, a closed wood-burning fireplace behind a glass door provides winter heat without letting smoke or ash smell into the room. Both double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the two full bathrooms have been kept in good order. The kitchen is fully equipped for regular cooking rather than occasional holiday use, with a hob and oven replaced just a year ago. A buyer looking at a 2 bedroom penthouse in Casares for longer stays will notice the difference between a kitchen that has been used and maintained and one left untouched since the block was built.

Roof insulation and climate control

Top-floor flats on the coast can suffer from summer heat gain and winter heat loss through the ceiling, which makes the recent work on this building important. The roof was recently renewed with six centimetres of insulation, helping the apartment hold a steady temperature across the seasons. Alongside the structural insulation, the air-conditioning units were recently replaced with low-consumption models. When you view, it is worth checking the orientation of each side of the wrap-around terrace and seeing the storage room in the underground garage to judge its size for golf clubs or bicycles.
