Three floors to rework in the old town

Requiring a full refurbishment inside the Casco Antiguo, this 3 bedroom 1 bathroom townhouse in Marbella gives a buyer 165 m2 of built area to reconfigure from scratch. Rather than paying for someone else's recent finishes, you take on an unfurnished shell across three levels in the historic centre. The property is a resale home that needs renovation, meaning the layout and the fittings are ready to be stripped back and planned around how you actually want to use the space.

How the 165 square metres divide across the floors

The existing footprint splits unevenly between the ground floor and the two upper storeys. On the street level, the ground floor measures 45 m2 and currently holds the living room and the kitchen. Above that, the footprint widens: the first floor spans 60 m2 and contains bedrooms alongside the single bathroom. The second floor adds another 60 m2 of built area, currently arranged with further bedroom space. With only one bathroom serving three levels, most buyers looking at this 3 bedroom 1 bathroom townhouse in Marbella will use the 120 m2 across the two upper floors to introduce additional plumbing and rework the bedroom count.

Footprint, views and the absence of outdoor space

In the tight street grid of the old town, the building occupies its plot without a garden, terrace or patio listed in the specification. The outlook from the windows is of urban views into the surrounding streets of the centre. Because there is no private outdoor ground to maintain, the entire 165 m2 figure sits under the roof, and your daily open-air space is the public realm of the town and the nearby shoreline rather than a private courtyard.

Scope for redevelopment and planning checks

Beyond a straightforward single-family refurbishment, the building has scope for a change of layout into a block of apartments or a small hotel, always subject to obtaining the required municipal licences and planning permissions. Anyone viewing with a project in mind should verify the structural walls between the 45 m2 ground floor and the 60 m2 upper levels, check where new vertical drainage can run, and confirm the current urban planning rules for the Casco Antiguo with Marbella town hall before committing to a design.

Walkable town centre setting

Living in Marbella Centro removes the reliance on a car for daily errands. Shops, restaurants, schools and public transport sit close to the front door, while the beach, the sea and the port are all within reach from the centre. For buyers who play golf, courses in the wider municipality are accessible from the town.
