A duplex layout with extensive outdoor space

White Pearl Beach lies 150 metres from the sea in Elviria, within walking distance of supermarkets, bars, restaurants and local shops. This refurbished 4 bedroom penthouse in Elviria is arranged over two levels and pairs 208 square metres of built area with 200 square metres of terraces. Because the outdoor space is almost equal in size to the built footprint, the layout functions differently from a standard single-aspect apartment.

Three terraces and a gated community

The 200 square metres of terrace are split across both levels and two orientations, which solves the common coastal problem of having too much or too little sun at a given hour. Off the lounge, a south-facing terrace looks over the communal gardens and pool towards the Mediterranean Sea. At the rear of the lower level, a second terrace directly off the kitchen holds an outside kitchen and a barbecue, keeping cooking smoke and food preparation away from the main seating area. Upstairs, a third terrace sits beside the main bedroom and includes a jacuzzi with sea views. Downstairs at ground level, the White Pearl Beach community is fully gated with 24-hour security, communal gardens, a swimming pool and underground parking.

How the two floors divide the rooms

The lower level carries the daily traffic of the home. It holds three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the newly fitted kitchen, and a combined lounge and dining area with a fireplace. The upper floor is given over entirely to a single large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and its own terrace. This separation works well when guests or older children stay over, as three bedrooms remain downstairs while the main suite sits alone above. Buyers with very young children, however, should check whether having the main bedroom a floor away from the others suits their routine.

Refurbishment, furniture and what to check

This 4 bedroom penthouse in Elviria has been completely refurbished and is sold with all furniture included, removing the need for immediate building work or furnishing deliveries before moving in. When viewing a duplex of this size so close to the shore, a buyer should inspect the hot water capacity for three bathrooms and a jacuzzi and look at the storage options inside the property. Checking how the afternoon wind affects both the south-facing front terrace and the rear kitchen terrace is also worthwhile on a beachside plot.
