A semi-detached townhouse of 124 m² built in 1970, situated in the centre of Marbella, Málaga. The property offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, a private garage for two vehicles and a rooftop solarium, and requires renovation. The asking price is fixed at €900,000, with a purchase option that includes a rental arrangement. Playa de la Bajadilla lies roughly 740 metres away as the crow flies, and the Old Town and seafront promenade are within walking distance. Marbella records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C and holds around 159,786 inhabitants.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the urban core of Marbella, in a commercial setting with shops and services on foot. A supermarket is 234 metres away, a pharmacy 8 metres, and a hospital just under one kilometre. The beach at Playa de la Bajadilla is approximately 740 metres in a straight line. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 39 km away as the crow flies.
The layout spans three floors with access from two different streets. The main floor of roughly 60 m² contains two bedrooms, one bathroom and a laundry area. The basement holds a private covered garage for two cars. The upper floor carries a private rooftop solarium suited to outdoor dining or a shaded seating area.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 1970 and is key-ready in the sense that it stands finished and occupied-grade, yet the listing states renovation is required. Buyers should budget for modernisation works and treat any planning of these works as part of the purchase process.
The property does not offer a swimming pool, garden or communal leisure facilities, and it contains only one bathroom across two bedrooms. The garage currently functions as storage and appears cluttered. Renovation is required throughout. There is no lift, and the layout over three floors involves internal stairs.

This property fits a buyer who wants to live inside Marbella's town centre rather than in a coastal residential zone or a gated golf community. Recognisable situations include: a couple seeking a lock-up-and-go home within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shops, who value not depending on a car; a buyer with a renovation budget who wants to control the finishing, layout and technical upgrade of a 1970s structure; and an investor assessing value uplift in central Marbella, where annual housing transactions number around 4,743 and demand for renovated townhouses persists. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom configuration makes it less obvious for families needing three or more bedrooms or multiple bathrooms, although the renovation could alter the internal layout, subject to permissions. Buyers who want a pool, garden or communal facilities on site will not find them here; the sea and the municipal sports infrastructure substitute for them. The rooftop solarium and the double garage are the two features that most distinguish the property; both are genuinely scarce in the centre. Households sensitive to street noise or to the seasonal influx of tourists should weigh the urban setting carefully, since the address sits in a commercial area with hotels and nightlife nearby. Finally, the purchase-with-rental-option structure may suit buyers who want income or occupancy flexibility during or before the renovation phase.
The house dates from 1970, and the listing itself classifies its condition as both good and renovation required, in practice this means the structure is sound and habitable-grade, while interiors, systems and fittings are dated. No specification of materials, kitchen brands, window frames or insulation levels is provided in the source data, so buyers should verify these on viewing. Utilities are connected: electricity, drinkable water and telephone are all listed as available. Security features include a gated complex entrance and an alarm system. The practical renovation scope for a property of this age typically covers the electrical installation, plumbing, windows, insulation and the bathroom, alongside the cosmetic layer of plaster, tiling and flooring. The 60 m² main floor with two bedrooms and one bathroom is the principal living space; the laundry area is separate. The rooftop solarium is unfinished outdoor space that can be fitted out to the buyer's own specification. The garage in the basement accommodates two vehicles under cover and is currently used partly as storage. The dual street access means service and entrance routes can be separated. Any works in central Marbella may fall under municipal aesthetic or heritage-related rules, particularly near the Old Town, so confirming what is permissible with the local authority before purchase is a standard step. No energy performance details are disclosed in the data; the 1970 construction date implies that thermal performance depends heavily on the state of the windows and roof insulation, both of which a renovation would normally address.
The asking price is fixed at €900,000; this is an existing home, not a new-build project with a price list. The listing also states the property is for sale with a rental option, meaning a purchase structure combined with letting, details of which should be confirmed with the seller. At 124 m² of built area, the price reflects the central Marbella location and the included double garage more than the current interior condition. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere in Marbella advertise from €638,700 to €690,000, but those are typically modern apartments on the outskirts rather than townhouses with private garages in the historic centre. Renovation costs are additional to the asking price.
Daily life here is organised around the compact grid of central Marbella. The front door opens onto a street with a pharmacy practically next to it and a supermarket a short walk away, which makes routine shopping possible without a car. The Old Town and the seafront promenade are described as a five-minute walk, so morning coffee, evening tapas and a stroll along the coast function as extensions of the house rather than destinations that require planning. The property itself is a townhouse spread over three floors, with two street entrances, one practical consequence is that the garage can be reached directly without passing through the living space. The main floor of about 60 m² holds two bedrooms and one bathroom, which suits a couple or a small household rather than a large family. The rooftop solarium is the property's main outdoor asset: at roof level in a low-rise central district it receives sun through much of the day and can be arranged for dining or relaxation. The surrounding streets are urban and lively rather than quiet; Marbella hosts 52 hotels and a substantial tourist footprint, so the rhythm of the neighbourhood shifts noticeably between summer and the off-season. A car is not strictly necessary, eleven public transport lines and fifty stops serve the municipality, yet the private double garage in the basement remains a scarce feature in this part of town. Sports centres lie within a few hundred metres, and the fishing port and marina are under 1.5 km away on foot.
The immediate surroundings are dense and service-rich. Within two kilometres the area counts 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés, which corresponds to a fully urban daily environment. A hospital is 996 metres away in a straight line, and a supermarket 234 metres. Education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools across the municipality, with the British International School 2.2 km away and the English International College 8.2 km away. Sports facilities are close: Polideportivo Francisco Norte is 200 metres away and Polideportivo Riohuelo 400 metres, while the Supera Miraflores centre with its pool lies 600 metres from the property. The municipal swimming pool is 1.1 km away. For electric vehicle owners, charging points are available from about 2.1 km, with a Tesla Supercharger at 3.3 km. The terrain is essentially flat, the gradient toward the beach measures 1.4%, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of daily transport. Marbella's public transport consists of 11 lines with 50 stops. The municipality registers 159,786 inhabitants (2025) and hosts 52 hotels with 12,781 beds, which explains both the density of amenities and the seasonal variation in street activity.
The map shows the property in central Marbella, minutes on foot from the Old Town, the Bajadilla beach and the marina. Note the concentration of amenities within one kilometre, pharmacy, supermarket, hospital, sports centres, and the flat terrain between the house and the shore. Golf courses cluster 6 to 8 km inland.

Within the Costa del Sol, Marbella functions as the region's administrative hub, seat of the association of municipalities, and as one of its most established residential and tourist markets. The property's position in the town centre places it closer to historic Marbella, the marinas and the promenade than to the golf-valley developments of Nueva Andalucía, 6 to 8 km inland. Málaga city and its airport lie 39 to 47 km to the north-east; Gibraltar is 58 km to the south-west. This distinguishes the address from the outlying new-build projects along the same coastline.
Distances below are straight-line (as the crow flies); road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is about 740 metres away, with Playa de Casablanca at 2.4 km and Playa de la Fontanilla at 2.9 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 39 km away; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 58 km. Golf courses concentrate in the Golf Valley area: Golf Los Naranjos and The Range at 6.0 km, Aloha Golf Club at 6.8 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 7.2 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.1 km. The marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 500 metres, Marina la Bajadilla at 1.2 km and the fishing port at 1.3 km, are all walkable. Málaga city is 47 km away by straight line. Given the flat terrain and the density of amenities, a car is optional for daily life; the private double garage nonetheless removes the usual central-Marbella parking constraint for owners who do keep vehicles.

Marbella's climate is one of the mildest on the Costa del Sol: the average annual temperature is 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months. The town sits at low elevation, the area around the property lies roughly 31 metres above sea level, and the 1.4% gradient to the shore means no climbing is involved in reaching the beach. This combination allows year-round use of the rooftop solarium, including the cooler months when daytime temperatures typically remain comfortable. The Sierra Blanca mountains behind Marbella shelter the coast from northern weather systems, which contributes to the stable temperature curve. The Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint, 3.3 km away, is the nearest marked nature interest point. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half of the year; the summer months are predominantly dry.

Set against current new-build supply in Marbella, this property occupies a different segment. Comparable projects, The Grove (from €638,700), Origin Marbella (from €645,000) and Breeze (from €690,000), advertise lower starting prices, but they are new developments typically positioned away from the historic centre, and buyers there pay for modern construction and shared amenities rather than location density. Here, the €900,000 fixed asking price buys three things that new-build apartments in Marbella rarely combine: a central town-centre address within the walking radius of the Old Town and the beach, a private double garage, and a private rooftop solarium. Against those advantages stands the 1970 construction date and the renovation obligation, which transfers responsibility for finishes, systems and likely energy performance onto the buyer, with associated cost and project-management effort. Regionally, Marbella remains the anchor market of the western Costa del Sol: 4,743 housing transactions per year, 159,786 inhabitants and a hotel stock of 52 properties indicate a deep, year-round market rather than a seasonal one. Buyers weighing this house against a Nueva Andalucía apartment near the golf courses (6–8 km inland) are effectively choosing between garden-and-golf living and town-and-beach living; the two rarely overlap at the same price. Accessibility is comparable either way, Málaga airport is 39 km straight-line from both, but daily mobility differs: at this address a car is optional, while in the golf valley it is close to essential. Buyers comparing value should also note that renovated townhouses in central Marbella trade at a premium over unrenovated stock, which is the mechanism behind the investor angle of this listing.
