Unaltered top floor flat beside Marbella old town

One hundred and twenty square metres of built area and a 12 square metre terrace make up the footprint here. This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom top floor apartment in Marbella sits in the centre of town right next to the historic quarter, yet holds a quiet position with no road noise reaching the rooms.

Originally four bedrooms, now arranged as three

The floor plan began life with four bedrooms and now operates as three larger ones, leaving more generous proportions across the rest of the layout. All three bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and they share two bathrooms. Alongside the large living room, the kitchen is big enough to hold a dedicated dining area inside it, which takes the pressure off the main sitting room during daily meals. Because the flat is in its original condition and requires renovation, a buyer is not paying for someone else's recent cosmetic taste and can rethink the internal partitions from scratch.

The terrace and what the building includes

Stepping out to the 12 square metre terrace gives you enough depth for a table and four chairs rather than just a narrow standing balcony. Because this is the top floor of the building, the flat gets strong daylight all day and looks out over unobstructed views across the city. The listing data does not record communal pools, gardens or private parking spaces, which is standard for central town blocks next to the old quarter.

What the renovation and central location mean in practice

Living right beside the old town means daily errands happen on foot, without relying on a car for groceries or cafes. The trade-off in central buildings of this era is that you must budget time and tradespeople for a full refurbishment of the wiring, plumbing, kitchen and bathrooms. Having 120 square metres of built area gives an architect genuine flexibility: you can keep the current three-bedroom arrangement with its eat-in kitchen, or open the kitchen into the living room and reclaim the fourth bedroom if household numbers require it.
