The penthouse is characterized by an excellent standard of finish, typical of new construction projects. The interior spaces include a living/dining room, an open-plan kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. While specific materials are not detailed, the 'excellent' condition and new build status imply modern and high-quality finishes. Features such as air conditioning (hot and cold) ensure year-round comfort. The presence of a covered terrace, a large solarium with paved and artificial grass areas, and an elevator to the underground parking with a storage room, indicate a focus on convenience and luxury.
This penthouse is offered at €575,000. As a completed new construction, it is immediately available for occupancy. The pricing reflects the substantial living area of 210 m² and its location within the Málaga region. The area is characterized by an active real estate market with 4,743 transactions recorded. Comparable projects in surrounding areas, such as Torre del Mar, Mijas, and Estepona, show a wide price range starting from €205,000, suggesting this property falls within the higher segment of new build offerings, partly due to its size and finishing standards.
