Large built area and renovation scope near the marina

Two hundred and eighty square metres of built area give this 3 bedroom penthouse with beachfront in Puerto Banús a scale rarely seen in newer coastal developments. Most buyers looking at a resale property of this size are weighing the solid proportions of an older building against the need to update the fixtures. Here, the floor plan is already divided into large rooms that can be refitted without moving the main structural walls.

Layout of the rooms and renovation potential

The main room is an open-plan living and dining area that takes in plenty of natural light. Unlike the main room, the kitchen is a separate, independent space, which gives a buyer the choice to either fit a modern closed kitchen or investigate opening it into the dining area during a refit. All three bedrooms are arranged as suites with their own bathrooms, and there is a fourth guest powder room so visitors do not need to use the bedroom suites. When viewing, it is worth checking the plumbing runs and partition walls around the independent kitchen if a fully open layout is preferred.

The terrace and outdoor space

Doors from the living and dining room open directly onto 30 square metres of private terrace. Compared to the 280 square metres of built area, the outdoor space is modest rather than vast. It is large enough for a dining table and loungers without the upkeep of a wrap-around roof deck, leaving the main floor plate inside the apartment.

Pools, spa, parking, and what the community includes

The apartment belongs to a gated community with 24-hour security and landscaped communal gardens. Residents have use of both an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor pool, a wellness area with spa and sauna, and a fitness centre. Having an indoor pool and gym on site makes the building practical outside the summer months, though buyers should check the community statutes and maintenance schedule for the heated water and spa plant. Downstairs, the title includes three underground parking spaces and a storage room. Having three spaces in Puerto Banús removes the main headache of summer visits, when street parking near the coast is almost impossible to find.

Walking access to the sea and marina

Listed as a 3 bedroom penthouse with beachfront in Puerto Banús, the building stands within walking distance of the beach and the marina. Restaurants, clothes shops, and daily services can all be reached on foot, meaning a car stays in the underground garage for most everyday errands.
