Tranquil Living in the Heart of Marbella

Unique penthouse apartment in the heart of Marbella, Costa del Sol, is offered for sale.

Marbella, Malaga SPAIN (PRWEB) April 20, 2006 -- Whilst recent scandals surrounding the illegal construction of some of Marbella´s newest residential developments may be causing concern for overseas property investors at present, its true to say that Marbella still remains one of the most sought after spots in Europe for international investors and those wanting to relocate on a more permanent basis who seek a better quality and standard of life.

Situated on the southern tip of Spain, Marbella is favoured with a fantastic climate, widely protected from temperature extremes and thus ensuring a stable microclimate throughout the year. Marbella lies between the Sierra Blanca Mountains and the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and is surrounded by greenery. This is a town which offers everything: sun, beaches, the sea, mountains, culture, fantastic shopping and sophisticated night life which is unique in Europe.

So for those looking to invest in the Marbella area, its definitely worth investigating properties situated in the heart of the town, where many of the older and more established buildings are largely unaffected by the recent planning concerns.

One such property currently on the market can be found in central Marbella, second line to the Paseo Maritimo in a small, exclusive building of just 8 apartments. Situated off the tree-lined Avenida Antonio Belon, and opposite to Marbella’s “Sport Marina”, the apartment building has the benefit of being constructed in 1989.

On entering the building you’re greeted with a private marble lobby, mirrored walls and both stairway and elevator servicing each of the individual apartments. The property in question is a duplex Penthouse covering the third and fourth floors of the building, a unique feature in a town where apartment blocks rising to over 8 flights are not an uncommon sight.

Once inside the Penthouse, the lower floor offers a well proportioned fitted kitchen complete with breakfast bar and access to the terrace. The spacious open plan living and dining accommodation is set off by the focal point of the room - a contemporary fireplace. Chic neutral décor and marble flooring also feature throughout and the penthouse is offered for sale fully furnished.

From the main living area 2 large sliding patio windows lead directly onto a magnificent terrace, approximately 20 by 4.5m in area. The apartment’s south facing position ensures maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day with far reaching views of the port and Mediterranean Sea beyond. This splendid terrace with its many flowers and plants provides a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Marbella town, creating a perfect outdoor living space with endless possibilities for sunbathing, entertaining or simply watching a spectacular Spanish sunset.

Just off the hallway, the first of the penthouse’s 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found along with the second bedroom that encompasses a large sliding patio window onto the main terrace and ensuite bathroom. A useful storage room is also situated on this level.

A marble staircase leads to the upper floor of the penthouse, incorporating the third bedroom and Master bedroom which also has ensuite shower facilities and a small private terrace enjoying rear aspect views over the magnificent backdrop of La Concha Mountain.

This bright and airy penthouse would be ideally suited for those seeking a full time residence or holiday home. Alternatively, as an investment property the apartment offers excellent rental potential due to its size and location, from which you could expect to yield a monthly income of around €2,500.

In short, this penthouse presents a rare opportunity to purchase a unique property in an outstanding location.

The penthouse is offered for sale at a price of €900,000. For further information contact Liz Southall at Easier.com or telephone 00 34 666 394 276.
