Refurbished Townhouse, Golden Mile, Marbella

The entrance level opens into an integrated kitchen, dining and living area that leads straight out to a generous terrace, an easy space for relaxed meals and entertaining friends. The kitchen is fitted with Smeg and Miele appliances and Hansgrohe taps, and the same Hansgrohe fittings continue into the bathrooms. Furniture combines made-to-measure pieces with designs from Calia Italia, Artwood and &designers, along with Gino Sarfatti lighting for Flos.

Two of the three bedrooms are on the upper floor. Both are bright, with French balconies that bring in plenty of natural light, and each has its own ensuite bathroom. The beds are Ekens, from the Elegance collection. The third bedroom is on the lower level, also with an ensuite, and connects to a cinema-style living room that works well for quiet evenings and family film nights. This level opens onto its own private walk-out terrace.

One of the best features of the home is the roof terrace. It has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with its own appliances and silverware, so there is no need to carry anything up from the main kitchen. With a south-facing orientation and views over both the mountains and the Mediterranean, it is a lovely place for sunset dinners or long lunches with guests.

Location is a large part of the appeal. Puente Romano Beach Resort and Forum Centro are both a five-minute walk away, which puts restaurants, shops and the beach club within easy reach on foot, and Playa de Nagüeles is a three-minute drive. The Golden Mile runs along the coast between Marbella town and Puerto Banús and remains one of the most established residential addresses on the Costa del Sol. Puerto Banús is an eight-minute drive, Marbella old town is 11 minutes by car and Málaga Airport is a 40-minute drive (56 km). Aloha Club de Golf is a ten-minute drive and Hospital Ochoa is 11 minutes by car.

For buyers who want a turnkey townhouse on the Golden Mile that is ready to enjoy from the first day, this home has very little left to do. Its quiet setting within walking distance of Puente Romano is not easy to find, and we would be glad to arrange a viewing.
