Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The villa is located within the urban environment of Benalmádena, with city amenities within walking distance. Its proximity to beaches, such as Playa Malapesquera at 229 meters, and the quick connection to Málaga Airport (9.3 km) highlight its accessibility. The location strikes a balance between the tranquility of a residential area and the dynamism of the coast.

Layout

With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this villa is suitable for families or buyers seeking ample space. The recent renovation has resulted in a flexible layout, including the option for a separate guest apartment. This, along with a private swimming pool and a terrace with views, meets diverse living needs, from permanent residence to rental income.

Project Status

This villa is already completed and underwent a full renovation five years ago. Therefore, the construction phase is finished, and the property is ready for immediate occupancy. It is not a new construction project in the traditional sense; rather, it is an existing property modernized to current standards.

Points of Attention

The villa is situated in an urban setting, which might mean less untouched nature immediately surrounding the plot. Although the property has a private pool, the plot size of 315 m² is relatively compact for a detached villa. The proximity to urban amenities could also entail ambient noise, depending on its specific position within the urbanization.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This villa is a suitable choice for buyers seeking a move-in-ready property on the Spanish coast with the flexibility of a potential guest apartment. It is an option for those who prefer an urban environment with all amenities within reach, including various beaches within walking distance. Families will appreciate the presence of schools and sports facilities, while investors may consider the rental potential, partly due to the tourist license on the lower floor. Buyers who value recently renovated spaces and a southeast to southwest orientation, benefiting from sunlight for much of the day, will feel at home here. It is also a fitting choice for frequent travelers, given the short distance to Málaga Airport.

Build Quality & Finishing

The villa underwent a significant renovation five years ago, with a focus on modernizing living spaces and improving functionality. Large windows were incorporated to maximize natural light and enhance the sense of space. The layout was adapted, featuring an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the upper floor. The master bedroom on this level includes a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom. The lower floor is equipped with a second kitchen and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, with the potential to convert a storage room into an additional bathroom. The property is fitted with air conditioning for climate control and benefits from double glazing for thermal and acoustic insulation. The presence of solar panels indicates a consideration for energy efficiency. The villa is sold furnished.
