Project Analysis

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

Location

The villa is situated in the urban heart of El Pinillo, a district known for its vibrant character and direct access to amenities. Its proximity to the beach, just 980 meters away as the crow flies, ideally positions this project for coastal enthusiasts. The surroundings offer a direct connection to daily life, with shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Layout

With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, this villa is designed for large families and for hosting guests. The layout across two floors maximizes living space and privacy. A modern kitchen and the potential to create an extra space for sports or storage cater to diverse living needs.

Project Status

This villa is already completed and ready for occupancy. The 'Completed' construction status means there are no waiting periods, and the property can be moved into immediately. This offers buyers the certainty of a finished project with the latest finishes and technologies, ready to enjoy the Andalusian lifestyle.

Points of Attention

While the villa offers a private swimming pool and modern amenities, the gradient towards the nearest beach is significant (21.5%), making a direct walk steep. The primary focus is on urban living, with the immediate surroundings dominated by buildings; a panoramic, rural view is therefore less prominent.

This villa is a suitable choice for families seeking a spacious and comfortable home with all amenities within reach. The five bedrooms and five bathrooms offer ample space for family members and guests, while the proximity to schools (one within 2 km) also makes it attractive for permanent residence. Lovers of the beach and sea will appreciate the short distance to Playa de la Carihuela (980 m), solid for daily walks or water sports. For professionals who travel frequently, the 7.8 km distance to Málaga Airport is a significant advantage. The proximity to golf courses such as Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (3.4 km) appeals to golfers. It is also attractive for investors looking for a property with holiday rental potential, given its location in a tourist area with good connections.

Build Quality & Finishing

The villa distinguishes itself through a high standard of finish, combining contemporary elegance with functionality. The spacious living room, featuring a fireplace, forms the heart of the home. The high-end open-plan kitchen is designed with style and practicality in mind, suitable for modern lifestyles. All five bathrooms are luxuriously appointed, with four bedrooms benefiting from en-suite bathrooms for added comfort and privacy. Additionally, there is a separate bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, offering flexibility for guests or staff. Practical elements such as a utility room, home automation, alarm system, aerothermal system, and solar panels contribute to high living comfort and energy efficiency. Double glazing ensures optimal insulation.
