Four levels and a top-floor pool in the town centre

With 336 square metres built on a 112 square metre plot and a 70 square metre terrace, this home puts its main outdoor space on the roof rather than at ground level. This 3 bedroom semi-detached house in San Pedro de Alcántara was constructed in 2018 and is sold as a resale property. Built across four levels with 250 square metres of usable space, the house faces south on Calle Martín Pescador, on the edge of the Pueblo district.

The plot and the two outdoor spaces

Because the house occupies a 112 square metre town footprint, the outdoor space is split between the ground floor and the top level rather than laid out as a traditional garden. The ground floor includes a 12 square metre private patio for air and light at living level. Up on the fourth level, a 25 square metre enclosed structure opens onto the 70 square metre terrace and solarium. This upper level holds the private swimming pool and a pergola, along with a compact secondary kitchen, a laundry area and a cloakroom, meaning you do not need to carry food or towels up and down the stairs from the main house.

How the four levels divide the space

Below street level, the 112 square metre open-plan basement matches the full size of the plot. It is built with a hydrophobic concrete retaining wall against moisture and gives a single, unpartitioned room for a storage room, gym or cinema. The 100 square metre ground floor handles daily life, containing the lounge-diner, the main kitchen, a guest cloakroom and the integrated garage. Having the garage on the ground floor rather than in the basement avoids a steep vehicle ramp and leaves the lower level entirely clear for domestic use.

Bedrooms, utilities and the walk into town

All three bedrooms sit together on the 100 square metre first floor. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room, while the remaining bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and are served by the other bathrooms on the level; in total, the house has four bathrooms including the cloakrooms. Air conditioning runs throughout the building, and solar panels are installed to reduce running energy use. From Calle Martín Pescador, the Bulevar San Pedro Alcántara with its playgrounds and green spaces is a short walk away, as are supermarkets, restaurants and international schools. You can also reach the promenade at Playa de San Pedro, Los Arqueros golf course, or take the A-7 to Marbella old town and Puerto Banús, which is a five-minute drive.
