Two floors and 224 square metres of built area

A 224 square metre built area split across two floors makes this property larger than many townhouses on the western Costa del Sol. This resale 4 bedroom penthouse in Manilva pairs that substantial footprint with a newly renovated kitchen, four bathrooms and a 40 square metre terrace facing the sea.

Inside the duplex layout

The home is arranged as a two-storey duplex penthouse, which separates the rooms across two levels rather than crowding them onto one single floorplate. Having four bedrooms and four bathrooms means each bedroom has a corresponding bathroom, removing morning queues when the property is full. Large windows in the bedrooms and the spacious living room bring in plenty of natural light. Because this is a resale home where the large kitchen has already been newly renovated, a buyer avoids the dust, contractor delays and permit applications of refitting the main work room after completion.

The 40 square metre terrace and what the community includes

Outside, the 40 square metre terrace looks out to panoramic views and sea views. Forty square metres is enough floor area to set up both a full dining table for eight and a separate sitting area without having to move chairs out of the way to walk past. Downstairs, the residential community provides a swimming pool, a garden and parking. Having allocated parking within the grounds solves the daily problem of hunting for a street space during August, while the communal garden and pool give residents green space and water without taking on private maintenance.

Driving times and what to check on a viewing

Manilva sits at the western end of the Malaga province coastline. From this 4 bedroom penthouse in Manilva, the drive takes 10 minutes to Estepona and 20 minutes to Puerto Banús for larger department stores and restaurants. When you visit this 4 bedroom penthouse in Manilva in person, check which bedrooms and bathrooms sit on the entry level versus the upper floor, as the exact split determines whether the home suits anyone who struggles with stairs. You should also verify whether the parking space is underground or on the surface, and confirm the lift access from the car park up to the penthouse door.
