This completed townhouse is located in Las Chapas on the eastern side of the Marbella municipality, within a gated beachfront community. Built in 1984 and since renovated, the property offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across three levels, with a total living area of 151 square metres on a 55 square metre plot. The residence is south-facing with sea views, a private terrace and garden with jacuzzi, communal pool, and a private garage. The surrounding area is urban with amenities within walking distance, and the property sits roughly 6 km from central Marbella. The listed price is 1,750,000 euros.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a front-line beach position within an established gated urbanisation in Las Chapas, Marbella East. Daily amenities are concentrated nearby, including a supermarket approximately 93 metres away and a pharmacy within roughly 110 metres. A hospital is located about 929 metres from the complex. The area combines coastal access with an urban residential setting where most errands can be done on foot.
The house addresses needs for permanent or seasonal coastal living: four bedrooms accommodate a family or regular guests, three bathrooms including an ensuite reduce morning congestion, and the south orientation supports outdoor use of the terrace and garden for much of the year. The jacuzzi and communal pool extend seasonal use, while air conditioning and double glazing manage summer and winter temperatures.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse dates from 1984 and has been completed for decades, with a renovation carried out at a later stage according to the listing. The condition is described as excellent. The delivery status is completed, meaning no construction timeline or off-plan payment structure applies. Any works would concern maintenance or personal modifications by the buyer.
The property does not offer a private pool; pool access is communal only. The plot is small at 55 square metres, limiting private outdoor space to the terrace and garden area. There is no mention of energy performance certification in the available data. As a 1984 building, the construction predates current building regulations and efficiency standards. No lift is listed across the three levels.

This property fits buyers who prioritise direct beach access combined with year-round urban convenience. Typical situations include: a family or couple seeking a permanent coastal residence with four bedrooms and walkable amenities; an international buyer wanting a second home where the property can be used immediately without renovation works; and owners who value a gated community with communal facilities over standalone villa maintenance. The configuration also suits multigenerational use or regular guest visits, as the ensuite and two further bathrooms allow independent use of the bedroom areas. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a large private plot, a private pool, or new-build energy standards, the 55 square metre plot and communal pool define the limits here. Buyers who plan to live car-free will find most daily needs within walking distance, though trips to Marbella centre, Puerto Banús or golf courses are easier by car. Those seeking rental income should verify community rules on tourist letting before purchase, as front-line complexes in Marbella East vary in their policies. Finally, the 1984 construction means buyers valuing modern insulation standards or a lift across three floors should weigh these factors during viewing and survey.
The listing describes the property as renovated and in excellent condition, though detailed material specifications are not provided. Observable finishes from the available photography include contemporary living and dining areas with modern decor, bedrooms with balconies and sea views, and a terrace with a hot tub facing the sea. The technical features listed are concrete rather than aspirational: air conditioning for climate control, double glazing for insulation and noise reduction, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and an ensuite bathroom connected to the principal bedroom. The covered terrace extends usable outdoor space into shoulder seasons, while the private garden and jacuzzi add outdoor amenities that do not depend on communal scheduling. The building envelope dates from 1984, which has two practical implications. First, the renovation likely upgraded the visible elements, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, joinery, while core elements such as the structure, roof and some service runs may retain original characteristics. Second, energy performance is not documented in the available data; buyers concerned with efficiency should request the energy performance certificate and ask which windows, insulation and HVAC components were replaced during renovation. The private garage is a fixed inclusion, and the communal pool and direct beach access are managed at community level. A structural survey is a standard step for properties of this age and would clarify the condition of elements not visible in photographs.
The property is listed at 1,750,000 euros as a completed, turnkey townhouse. This is a single resale property rather than a development with multiple units and price bands, so there is no price variation across typologies. The price reflects the front-line beach position, four-bedroom configuration, renovation condition and inclusion of a private garage within a gated community. Buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs, transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and for community fees associated with the gated complex and communal pool. Annual running costs typically include community charges, IBI property tax and utilities.
Daily life at this property revolves around its position between the beach and the urban fabric of Las Chapas. The house is arranged over three levels, with living spaces on the entrance level opening through sliding doors to a covered terrace and private garden with jacuzzi. The south-facing orientation means the main outdoor areas receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, which in practice supports use from early spring to late autumn given the regional climate of roughly 3,890 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 19 degrees. The morning routine can reasonably include a short walk to the beach, a supermarket under 100 metres away, or coffee at one of the many cafés in the wider area. The immediate setting is urban rather than rural: shops, pharmacies and services are within walking distance, and the neighbourhood functions year-round rather than as a summer-only resort zone. The community is gated, with direct beach access and a communal pool shared with other residents. A private garage is included, though a car is not essential for all daily trips. Evenings tend toward the coast: the front-line position places the shoreline, the adjacent beach restaurant and coastal walks within a few minutes on foot. The area around the property contains a high density of services, restaurants, banks and health facilities within a two-kilometre radius, which supports both permanent residence and extended stays without dependence on a vehicle.
The immediate surroundings function as a fully serviced urban neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. A supermarket sits roughly 93 metres from the property and a pharmacy about 108 metres, which places daily shopping within a two-minute walk. A hospital is under one kilometre away, and the two-kilometre radius contains 294 restaurants, 122 pharmacies, 60 banks and 118 cafés, a density that indicates year-round commercial activity rather than seasonal trade. Educational provision is substantial, with 147 primary schools and 101 secondary schools recorded in the wider area, relevant to families considering permanent residence. Public transport is limited to one line with a single stop nearby, so residents typically use a car for regional trips while managing local errands on foot. The coastal position shapes daily recreation: beaches are within 2.2 to 3.4 kilometres, marinas including IGY Málaga Marina lie 2.3 kilometres away, and sports centres are within 700 metres. EV charging is available 289 metres from the property. Noise and activity levels reflect the urban beachfront character, busier in summer months, quieter but active in winter, supported by 89 hotels and associated services in the area.
The map shows the property's position relative to the coastline and surrounding infrastructure. Beaches sit to the south within roughly 2 to 3 kilometres, the supermarket and pharmacy cluster within 100 metres, and road connections run toward Marbella to the west and Málaga airport to the east. Golf courses and marinas appear at greater distances along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
The property positions itself in the Las Chapas area of Marbella East, roughly 6 km from Marbella centre with its population of around 148,000. Málaga, the regional capital with some 579,000 inhabitants, lies about 43 km to the east, reachable by car or via the nearby Cercanías train stations. Algeciras is approximately 70 km to the west. The location is therefore coastal-residential rather than metropolitan: Marbella provides shopping, dining and services at short driving distance, while the immediate neighbourhood supplies daily needs on foot. The regional property market recorded 7,240 transactions, indicating an active resale environment.
Distances to key destinations, measured in straight lines: Playa de San Andrés beach is 2.2 km, with Playa de la Malagueta at 2.6 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 3.4 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 7.2 km away, making air travel connections short for a coastal property; Gibraltar Airport is roughly 103 km. Golf options include Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.0 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 8.3 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at around 10 km. Marbella centre is approximately 6 km by road, while Málaga city lies about 43 km away. Train stations at Carranque (0.9 km), Guadalmedina (1.1 km) and La Unión (1.2 km) provide rail connections. A car is useful for regional trips but not required for daily needs given the walkable amenities.

The property stands at roughly 23 metres above sea level, and the route to the nearest beach has an average gradient of about 1.0 percent, effectively flat, which makes walking and cycling to the coast practical rather than an effort. The climate data points to a strongly Mediterranean profile: approximately 3,890 sunshine hours per year, an average annual temperature of 19.0 degrees, and a swimming season of around six months during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20 degrees. In practical terms, outdoor living on the south-facing terrace and garden is possible from early spring through late autumn, and the jacuzzi extends use into cooler months. The low elevation means no hillside exposure to wind, but also no elevated views, the sea views come from the front-line position itself. Air conditioning and double glazing are the listed measures for managing summer heat and winter cool spells.

Water-based recreation extends to IGY Málaga Marina at 2.3 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 2.8 km for berthing and sailing. Golfers can reach three courses within about 10 to 11 kilometres: Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez. Land sports are well served, with Campo de Fútbol Malaka 300 metres away and Ciudad Deportiva Carranque 700 metres from the property. viewpoints such as Mirador de la Alcazaba (2.1 km) and Torre Blanca (2.4 km) offer walking destinations with coastal perspectives.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a distinct segment from the comparable new-build developments listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from 269,950 euros, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from 205,000 euros, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from 269,000 euros, all substantially below the 1,750,000 euro asking price here. The difference is driven primarily by location type and product maturity: those developments are inland or second-line urbanisations with shared facilities and standard new-build specifications, whereas this property is a front-line beach resale in an established gated community in Marbella East, one of the coast's higher-value zones. The property's four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout over 151 square metres is compact relative to villa alternatives at similar prices in Marbella municipality; buyers at this budget could also consider detached villas further from the shoreline in areas such as Elviria or La Mairena, trading beach proximity for plot size and privacy. Conversely, buyers prioritising direct beach access, walkable urban amenities and a turnkey condition will find few alternatives in this immediate pocket, front-line complexes in Las Chapas rarely come to market in renovated condition. The surrounding data reinforces the location's year-round character: 294 restaurants, 26 health centres and 147 primary schools within the wider radius indicate a permanent residential base rather than a seasonal resort. For buyers comparing regions, the 7.2 km distance to Málaga airport is shorter than is typical for Estepona or Manilva, reducing transfer times at the cost of proximity to the flight path, a factor worth checking during a viewing. Overall, the property competes on position and condition rather than space or new-build efficiency, and should be evaluated against both resale townhouses in Marbella East and villa options inland at comparable budgets.
