This penthouse duplex apartment is located in Benalmádena Pueblo, a charming town on the Costa del Sol. The apartment offers a living space of 110 m² and has recently undergone a renovation, effectively converting the attic into a comfortable living area. Its location combines quiet village life with proximity to urban amenities and the coastline. The property is move-in ready and offered fully furnished.
Compared to other projects in the region, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this penthouse duplex in Benalmádena Pueblo offers a lower entry price starting at €299,000. While Alba Benalmádena in the same municipality has a much higher price range (from €699,000), this project positions itself as a more affordable option within the popular Costa del Sol market. The location in Benalmádena Pueblo, a traditional Spanish village, distinguishes it from larger coastal developments like those in Estepona, which are often closer to the beach and urban amenities. The recent renovation and move-in ready condition, including furniture, add value to the pricing. The communal facilities, such as the pools with views, are comparable to those in other residential projects in the area. However, the limitation of the second floor without an elevator and the steep slope to the beach are specific features that potential buyers should consider in comparison to projects directly on the coast or on flatter terrain.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Amenities like shops, restaurants, and schools are within walking distance, enhancing the convenience of daily life.
This duplex apartment is suitable for those seeking a spacious and bright home with the convenience of amenities within reach.

This apartment is located on the second floor and does not have an elevator. Its position in a hilly area with a steep slope to the beach (10.6%) might be a consideration for individuals with limited mobility. Although the units are spacious, the registered area is smaller than the actual usable living space after the renovation.
This apartment suits a buyer looking for a move-in ready property in a traditional Spanish village, combined with the benefits of modern renovations and communal facilities. It is suitable for those who prefer an active lifestyle, given the proximity to sports centers and golf courses, and who do not shy away from the challenge of the slope to the beach.

Couples or small families who value an authentic Spanish atmosphere, coupled with the convenience of walking-distance amenities and sea views, will feel at home here. The presence of an outdoor parking space is a practical advantage, although the option for additional parking requires further consideration.
The property has been recently renovated and is in good condition. The finishes include marble flooring, contributing to a luxurious feel characteristic of many properties on the Costa del Sol. The windows are double-glazed, ensuring better insulation and noise reduction. The kitchen is fully fitted, meaning it is equipped with the necessary appliances and cabinetry, ready for use. The apartment features air conditioning with both heating and cooling functions, providing comfort throughout the year, regardless of the outside temperature. The transformation of the attic into bedrooms has been carried out with attention to natural light through the installation of Velux skylights.

There is an option to purchase an additional covered parking space for €15,000. The property is fully furnished and ready for occupancy, as construction is complete. The pricing is competitive given the recent renovation and location in a popular region, although it's important to note that the registered living area is smaller than the actual usable space post-renovation.

Life here is characterized by a combination of village peace and access to coastal activities, with the Mediterranean Sea at a straight-line distance of 2.3 km. The slope of 10.6% towards the nearest beach (Playa de Arroyo Hondo) suggests that a walk to the coast may require considerable effort.
