This townhouse is situated in Los Altos de Marbella, an established residential area of Marbella, Málaga. The property is completed and dates from 1980 (indicative), offering 223 m² of built space across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a 43 m² terrace, private garden and communal pool. The south-west orientation provides sea, garden and pool views. The location places daily amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at roughly 234 m, a pharmacy at 8 m, and Playa de la Bajadilla at approximately 738 m. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies around 39 km away, making the property accessible for international buyers seeking a coastal base within an urban Marbella setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in an urban Marbella neighbourhood where shops, pharmacies and sports facilities are reachable on foot or by bicycle. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is approximately 738 m away on terrain with a gradient of about 1.4 per cent, meaning the walk to the sea is essentially flat. Marbella's municipal facilities, marinas and the historic centre fall within a short radius, and eleven public transport lines with fifty stops serve the wider city.
The house is configured for permanent or seasonal family occupation: four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fitted kitchen, office room, games room, cinema room and basement. A private garden and 43 m² terrace extend the living space outdoors, and the communal pool covers swimming needs without private maintenance. Pets are allowed, which is relevant for buyers relocating with animals. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a fireplace provide winter comfort.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 1980 (indicative) and is described as being in excellent condition, with double glazing, an alarm system and a security entrance among its documented upgrades. Buyers should treat the construction date as relevant to inspection priorities, roof, installations and insulation, rather than as a drawback in itself. Delivery is immediate, as the property is finished and available for purchase now.
The property does not offer a private pool; swimming facilities are communal. It is sold unfurnished, which adds furnishing costs to any budget. The residence dates from 1980 (indicative) and therefore lacks an A-rated new-build energy certificate, common contemporary insulation standards and, based on available data, a private garage. Climate control consists of a fireplace and bathroom underfloor heating rather than a documented full air-conditioning system.

This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round benefits from four bedrooms, an office room and proximity to 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, including the British International School at 2.2 km. Buyers who want to live without full car dependence will find the pharmacy, supermarket, sports centres and beach within walking distance, with eleven bus lines covering the wider city, a configuration rare among Costa del Sol properties oriented towards resort living. Retirees or seasonal residents seeking a low-maintenance base with character, fireplace, wine cellar, cinema room, can use the basement entertainment rooms selectively and rely on the communal pool rather than maintaining a private one. Buyers with pets are catered for, as animals are permitted. The property is less suited to buyers specifically wanting a new-build warranty, a private pool or a gated resort environment with on-site facilities. It also suits those who value being inside Marbella's working urban fabric: 137 restaurants, 25 cafés and 20 banks within a 2 km radius indicate an established neighbourhood rather than a seasonal development. Buyers prioritising energy performance should note the 1980 construction date (indicative) and factor in verification of insulation and system efficiency during due diligence.
The documented specification points to a property that has been upgraded over its life rather than left in original condition. Double glazing is listed throughout, which on a 1980 building indicates window replacement and has practical consequences for both thermal comfort and noise levels in an urban location. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms adds comfort during the cooler months, when average temperatures fall to around 12°C. The kitchen is fully fitted with white cabinets and wooden worktops, and fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms. The basement level has been converted into functional leisure space, cinema room, games room and wine cellar, which represents additional usable square metres beyond standard storage. An alarm system and security entrance provide baseline security provisions. Interior finishes observed include tiled floors consistent with regional construction, glass doors connecting internal spaces, and a balcony adjoining the upper level. The property is sold unfurnished, allowing inspection of finishes without furniture obscuring condition. Buyers should verify the age and condition of the electrical installation, plumbing and any heating systems through a technical survey, as is standard practice for properties of this vintage. The overall condition is documented as excellent, but this claim is best confirmed against an independent inspection report, particularly regarding the roof structure and any damp history common in mountainside properties of this period. Internet and Wi-Fi are connected, so connectivity for remote work is already established.
The asking price is €620,000 for a completed, four-bedroom townhouse of 223 m² with a private garden and terrace. Within Marbella's current market, comparable projects include The Grove (from €527,500), Nikki Living (from €450,000) and Residencial Albatros XV (from €471,500). Those figures relate to new-build apartments; this property's premium reflects its larger built area, garden and established central location. The house is delivered unfurnished, so buyers should budget separately for furniture. As a resale transaction, purchase costs follow Andalusian rules for second-hand properties rather than new-build VAT.
Daily life around this townhouse is shaped by its position inside Marbella's urban fabric rather than in a resort or gated suburban development. The pharmacy is 8 m from the door and the supermarket roughly 234 m, which means grocery runs, prescriptions and everyday errands do not require a car. The nearest sports centre lies about 200 m away, with a municipal pool around 1.1 km and a second public pool at 0.6 km, giving residents several swimming options alongside the communal pool of the community itself. The morning routine might reasonably include a flat ten-minute walk down to Playa de la Bajadilla, near the fishing port and the marina at Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, roughly 500 m from the property. With 3,851 historical sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, the 43 m² south-west-facing terrace functions as usable living space for most of the year, catching afternoon and evening sun. Inside, the layout distributes its 223 m² across sleeping, working and leisure zones: an office room suits remote work, while the basement houses a cinema room, games room and wine cellar, rooms that serve evening and weekend use rather than daily necessity. The house is positioned on a mountainside with sea views, yet the gradient towards the beach measures only 1.4 per cent, so the celebrated hillside setting does not translate into a strenuous walk to the coast. Outside the summer months, Marbella remains a functioning city of nearly 160,000 residents with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, meaning restaurants, cafés and services stay open year-round rather than following a seasonal rhythm.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with genuine urban density. Within a 2 km radius, the documented data lists 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks, 25 cafés and 3 dentists, figures that describe an established city neighbourhood rather than a holiday enclave. Healthcare access is concrete: a hospital at 996 m and five health centres across the municipality. The nearest sports centre, Polideportivo Francisco Norte, is 200 m away, with a second municipal facility 400 m further. Three marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen, Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Pesquero, lie between 500 m and 1.3 km from the property, placing the fishing port and waterfront promenade within a short walk. For households with children, the British International School is 2.2 km away and the English International College 8.2 km. Electric-vehicle owners have a charging point at 2.1 km and a Tesla Supercharger at 3.3 km. Public transport comprises eleven lines and fifty stops across the city. The location sits at 31 m above sea level with a 1.4 per cent slope towards the beach, so elevation brings sea views without demanding physical effort on daily routes. Noise and activity levels follow Marbella's municipal rhythm: busy in summer, stable and quieter outside the tourist season.
The map shows the property's position relative to Marbella's coastline: Playa de la Bajadilla under 800 m to the south, the fishing port and marina nearby, and the A-7 corridor connecting westwards towards Puerto Banús and the golf courses at 6-8 km. Supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities cluster within a few hundred metres, illustrating the walkable character of the neighbourhood.

Within Marbella, this property occupies a central urban position rather than the peripheral resort zones. Puerto Banús and the Golf Valley lie 6-8 km to the west; Estepona is a further drive along the coast. To the north-east, Málaga city and its airport sit at 39-47 km. The immediate area, Los Altos and the Bajadilla quarter, mixes permanent residents with tourist infrastructure, as reflected in the 52 hotels and 12,781 beds documented across the municipality. Compared with new-build developments on Marbella's edges, this location trades contemporary specification for walkability and centrality.
Beaches: Playa de la Bajadilla at approximately 738 m, Playa de Casablanca at 2.4 km and Playa de la Fontanilla at 2.9 km, with five Blue Flag beaches in the municipality.

The climate data supports year-round residential use. Historical sunshine totals reach 3,851 hours per year, and the mean annual temperature is 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The documented swimming season spans five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C. The property sits at 31 m above sea level with a 1.4 per cent slope toward the coast, a combination that delivers sea views from a mountainside position while keeping the walk to the beach effectively flat. The Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella provide hiking terrain, with the Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint 3.3 km away. The south-west orientation of the house means the terrace receives afternoon and evening sun, which aligns with outdoor dining use in a region where evening temperatures remain comfortable for much of the year. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and winter months; the fireplace and bathroom underfloor heating cover the modest heating demand this implies.

Set against Marbella's current offer, this townhouse occupies a distinct segment. New-build comparables in the municipality, The Grove from €527,500, Nikki Living from €450,000 and Residencial Albatros XV from €471,500, are apartment-led developments on the city's periphery. This property asks €620,000, but delivers 223 m² of built space including a basement entertainment level, a private garden and a 43 m² terrace, with the location as its principal asset: pharmacy at 8 m, supermarket at 234 m, hospital at 996 m and the beach under 800 m. Few new-build products in this price band can match that walkability profile. The trade-offs are equally concrete. A 1980 construction does not carry new-build warranties, and energy performance is undocumented pending certification; insulation, electrical systems and roof condition warrant survey. The pool is communal rather than private. Against the wider region, Marbella records 4,743 property transactions in the documented period and a municipal population of 159,786 (2025), supporting year-round liquidity and services. Málaga city lies 47 km away, Estepona and Puerto Banús to the west; the property's centrality within Marbella itself is its differentiator. For buyers weighing urban convenience against resort-style new-build living, the comparison is essentially between specification age and location quality.
