South-facing living within walking distance of the sea

The beach is a short walk from the front door, with supermarkets, restaurants, schools and golf courses also close by. Listed as a 3 bedroom townhouse with beachfront and private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, the house is a resale home sitting between the town and Puerto Banús, where the written specification confirms a communal pool shared by the residents rather than an individual one.

Inside the 157 square metres of built area

The house has 157 square metres of built area arranged around a combined living and dining room with a fireplace. An independent kitchen with a separate laundry room keeps cooking smells and washing machines shut away from the main room, which suits full-time living better than an open-plan wall of units. A buyer who wants a single open kitchen-diner would need to check whether the dividing wall can come down.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and the private terrace

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are recorded in the property data, described in the notes as two full bathrooms plus a guest toilet. The main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and steps out onto a private terrace. The second and third bedrooms share the second full bathroom. Having a guest toilet means visitors do not need to use the family bathrooms during the day.

The 30 square metre plot and outdoor space

Doors from the living room open onto a private garden on a 30 square metre plot. Thirty square metres is compact: it gives enough ground for an outdoor dining table and sun loungers without leaving a large lawn to water or maintain. Because the house is south-facing, both the garden and the main bedroom terrace take the sun for most of the day. From the private garden there is direct access to the communal pool and the community gardens, so going for a swim does not mean walking out onto the street.

Parking, road access and what to verify

Parking is included with the property, which matters near the coast where street spaces fill up quickly in summer. Main roads run nearby for driving between San Pedro de Alcántara, Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús. Anyone viewing this 3 bedroom townhouse with beachfront and private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara should verify two points in the paperwork: the exact boundary of the 30 square metre garden where it meets the communal grounds, and whether the third bathroom on the register is a shower room or the guest cloakroom.
