This four-bedroom townhouse is located in a quiet residential pocket of central Fuengirola, within walking distance of the beach, shops and public transport. The property offers 140 m² of living space across four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a guest WC, with a fireplace in the living area, a separate kitchen, front and rear patios and a rooftop solarium. Built in 1970, the house is key-ready but requires renovation. The asking price is fixed at €640,000, with an optional parking space available separately at Parking Suel. Furniture is not included.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in a residential street in the centre of Fuengirola, roughly 400 metres from Playa de San Francisco as the crow flies. A supermarket lies 112 metres away, a pharmacy 226 metres, and the train station about 500 metres. The urban surroundings mean shops, restaurants and services are reachable on foot, reducing dependence on a car for daily errands.
The layout suits a household needing four bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, with an ensuite for the principal bedroom. Fitted wardrobes, a utility room and a rooftop solarium add practical storage and outdoor space. Air conditioning and a fireplace cover both seasons. Renovation work is required, so buyers should budget for updating interiors to their own standard.
This is not a new-build development. The townhouse was completed in 1970 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home in need of renovation. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule; the transfer follows the standard second-hand purchase process, with taxes such as ITP payable by the buyer rather than VAT on a new build.
The property has no private garden, no pool and no private garage included; parking is on the street, with an optional space purchasable separately at Parking Suel. The house is sold unfurnished and its 1970 construction means renovation should be expected. Community facilities associated with resort developments are absent, and purchase costs are excluded from the asking price.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Fuengirola permanently may value the four bedrooms, ensuite bathroom and proximity to the town's 15 primary and 10 secondary schools, along with three health centres and a hospital 8.5 km away. A couple planning a part-time move may prefer the walkable setting and the train link to Málaga airport, 18 km away, which removes the need to drive for flights. Buyers comfortable with renovation work, updating a 1970 property to modern insulation, wiring and finishes, can shape the interior to their own requirements instead of accepting a developer's specification. Households that want a private pool or gated community life will not find it here, and should look elsewhere. The rooftop solarium and two patios suit residents who want outdoor space without garden maintenance. Those relying on a car should factor in street parking or the optional space at Parking Suel, since no garage is included. Investors may compare the €640,000 fixed price plus renovation costs against new-build alternatives from roughly €449,000, weighing central location and townhouse format against lower entry prices elsewhere. In short, the property fits buyers prioritising space, centrality and coastal walking distance, who accept renovation and urban parking conditions.
The house dates from 1970 and is recorded as requiring renovation, so the current finish level should be viewed as a starting point rather than a final standard. Existing features include fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom for the principal bedroom, three full bathrooms plus a guest WC, and a utility room. The living area has a fireplace, and air conditioning is present, covering both heating and cooling, though the age of the systems should be verified during a technical inspection. The separate kitchen provides access to the rear patio, and the front patio connects directly to the living and dining area. A rooftop solarium adds private outdoor space. The photography shows tiled terraces, functional bathrooms and wooden wardrobe units consistent with a property awaiting modernisation. Buyers should assess the typical elements of a 1970 Spanish townhouse: electrical installation, plumbing, window frames and insulation, none of which are documented in the available data. Renovation scope and cost are the buyer's responsibility to establish. The structural format, generous room proportions, four bedrooms, two patios and a solarium, gives a workable base for refurbishment, which is a different proposition from buying new-build with developer guarantees. No energy performance details, warranty scheme or developer specification apply here. In practical terms, the purchase price plus renovation budget defines the total investment, and the finished standard will be determined by the buyer's own works rather than by the seller.
The asking price is a fixed €640,000 for the townhouse as an existing property. Agency fees are included in this figure, but purchase costs are not: notary and Land Registry fees plus transfer tax (ITP) are payable by the buyer. Furniture is excluded. An optional parking space at Parking Suel can be purchased separately. For context, new-build apartments elsewhere in Fuengirola currently start from roughly €449,000–€545,000, so this house competes on space and location rather than on price per square metre against new stock. Given the stated renovation requirement, buyers typically add a renovation budget to the headline figure when comparing options.
Daily life here revolves around an established residential neighbourhood that functions year-round rather than a seasonal urbanisation. The morning routine can plausibly include a walk of under ten minutes to Playa de San Francisco or Playa de Fuengirola, both roughly 650 metres away as the crow flies, with the gradient to the shore a flat 2.8 per cent. Groceries involve a 112-metre stroll to the nearest supermarket; a pharmacy stands 226 metres from the door. The living and dining area opens onto a sunny front patio, which in practice becomes an extension of the interior for much of the year given average temperatures of 14–26°C monthly. The separate kitchen gives onto a rear patio, useful for drying laundry and storing outdoor equipment, while the rooftop solarium offers a private spot for sun exposure throughout the day. With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a guest WC, morning routines rarely collide in a family or shared household. The surrounding streets hold 217 restaurants and 64 cafés within two kilometres, so eating out or meeting friends requires little planning. Fuengirola train station is about 500 metres away, linking the town to Málaga and the airport corridor. The house's central position means traffic and pedestrian activity are part of the setting; the immediate residential street is described as quiet, but this remains an urban environment. For households seeking sea proximity, walkable services and a full-year town rather than a gated community, the daily rhythm here is town-based and car-optional.
The immediate surroundings are urban and complete. Within two kilometres, the area counts 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies, 27 banks, 9 dentists and a park, alongside 269 sports facilities town-wide. The nearest supermarket is 112 metres away and a pharmacy 226 metres, both under a three-minute walk. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, lies about 600 metres away, and the Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola sports centre 500 metres. The town of 85,211 inhabitants (2025) supports 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, so the location works for year-round family living rather than only for holiday stays. Public transport comprises 14 lines with 33 stops in the area, plus the Cercanías train from Fuengirola station, 500 metres from the house, running along the coast towards Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga. Marbella is 24 km away in a straight line and Málaga city 27 km, both reachable by car or, in Málaga's case, by train. Tourism infrastructure, 25 hotels with 8,085 beds, means the town is busier in summer, though the residential street itself is described as quiet. An EV charging point sits 92 metres from the door, practical for electric-vehicle owners. Daily life here is essentially car-free if desired; a car mainly adds convenience for golf, hospital visits and regional trips.
The map shows the house in its central Fuengirola setting: beaches 400–650 metres to the south, the train station 500 metres away and the supermarket almost on the doorstep. Golf courses sit 4–5 km inland. All distances shown are straight-line; road routes may be slightly longer.

Fuengirola occupies the central coast of Málaga province within the Costa del Sol Occidental, 27 km from Málaga city and 24 km from Marbella. With 85,211 inhabitants, it functions as a full urban centre rather than a resort enclave, evidenced by its schools, health centres and 2,391 housing transactions per year. Within the region it positions as one of the most connected mid-sized towns: train line to Málaga, 18 km from the airport, and immediate motorway access towards Marbella and Estepona. For buyers comparing coastal locations, it offers density of services typical of the eastern Costa del Sol at a shorter distance from the airport than Marbella or Estepona.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility asset: Playa de Fuengirola (658 m), Playa de San Francisco (661 m) and Playa de Santa Amalia (668 m) all lie within a ten-minute walk, measured in straight lines, with an actual walking distance slightly longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 18 km away as the crow flies, roughly a 20–25 minute drive or a short train journey, while Gibraltar airport lies 79 km distant. Three golf courses sit within a short radius: Campo Los Lagos at 3.8 km, Cerrado del Aguila at 3.9 km and Mijas Golf at 4.4 km, all straight-line figures. The hospital is 8.5 km away. By car, the A-7 and AP-7 corridors connect Fuengirola to Marbella (24 km) and Málaga (27 km). Public transport is extensive for a town of this size: 14 bus lines, 33 stops nearby, and the railway stations of Fuengirola (0.5 km), Carvajal (3.7 km) and Torremuelle (6.4 km). An EV charger 92 metres away supports electric mobility. Street parking applies to the house itself, with an optional space at Parking Suel available for separate purchase.

Fuengirola sits at sea level, with the house at approximately 14 metres elevation and a flat 2.8 per cent gradient to the beach, meaning no stairs or slopes on the walk to the shore. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.7°C, monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, typically June to September. Winters are mild enough for year-round terrace and patio use, which suits the property's front patio, rear patio and rooftop solarium. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, keeping the summer dry. There are no significant natural areas immediately adjacent, the setting is urban, though the beach promenade and the flat coastline provide daily walking routes. The town records 34 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar of festivals and events through the seasons.

Within Fuengirola, this townhouse competes with both the resale market and a cluster of new-build projects. The Belvedere Collection starts from €545,000, Distinctive Infinity from €495,000 and Evoque from €449,000, all new-build offerings with modern specifications and, in most cases, developer payment structures and warranties. Against these, the fixed €640,000 asking price here buys a different product: 140 m² of townhouse with four bedrooms, four bathrooms in total including the guest WC, two patios and a rooftop solarium, in a central residential street. New-build apartments at lower entry prices generally offer less floor area, no private rooftop and communal rather than individual outdoor space, but they do deliver contemporary insulation, glazing and installations, elements this 1970 property will need to acquire through renovation. Regionally, Fuengirola sits closer to Málaga Airport (18 km) than Marbella (24 km away, 147,958 inhabitants) and offers a denser, more service-oriented urban fabric than smaller resort towns. Housing transactions in the town number 2,391 per year, indicating an active and liquid resale market, relevant for buyers considering eventual resale after renovation. The province's median income of €16,450 contextualises the local economy: Fuengirola's market is driven substantially by international and second-home demand alongside domestic buyers. Compared with Marbella, price levels per square metre are generally lower in Fuengirola, while connectivity by train, absent in Marbella, favours this location for airport access without a car. Compared with new-build developments in the same town, the choice reduces to condition versus format: a finished apartment with warranty against a larger, centrally located house requiring works. Buyers should also weigh the €640,000 price plus renovation and the separate optional parking purchase against the all-in cost of a new-build unit with included parking.
