This duplex is situated within the Marbella House community, positioned in a central urban area near the coastline. The property features 215 square metres of living space distributed over two levels. A distinctive attribute is the private terrace pool, accompanied by sea views. Originally constructed in 1970, the residence has undergone a comprehensive renovation integrating modern climate control and contemporary design. The location provides immediate access to Marbella’s amenities, including the fishing port and central commercial areas. The complex offers communal facilities such as a gym and squash courts, with security services operating around the clock.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located within an established residential complex in Marbella, approximately 700 metres from Playa de la Bajadilla. The surrounding area is characterised by high-density amenities, with supermarkets, restaurants, and health centres within a 1-kilometre radius. The terrain is flat, facilitating pedestrian access to the marina and city centre. The development is situated in a consolidated urban zone.
The layout accommodates three bedrooms across two floors, separating sleeping areas from living spaces. This structure suits households requiring distinct zones for privacy. The south-facing orientation maximises natural light. The inclusion of a private pool on the terrace addresses preferences for private outdoor leisure within an urban setting. Climate control systems ensure temperature management year-round.
The building dates from circa 1970 but presents as a recently renovated residence. The interior has been reconstructed with current specifications, including modernised insulation and an Airzone climate system. The complex itself is fully established, with all communal facilities, such as the gym and gardens, currently operational. No further construction works are anticipated on site.
The property is not a standalone villa, meaning inhabitants share walls with neighbours. The location is central and urban, not a secluded rural enclave; thus, some background city noise is to be expected. The plot size is limited to the terrace footprint; there is no private garden at ground level. Access to the beach requires a short walk rather than direct private frontage.
This residence suits households seeking the functionality of a house combined with the security of an apartment. It fits professionals or families who require a permanent base near international schools and healthcare facilities. The British International School is 2 kilometres away. The property is also relevant for buyers who prioritise privacy but do not wish to maintain a large garden. The private pool offers seclusion without the upkeep of a standalone villa plot. It serves those who value an active lifestyle, given the on-site sports facilities and proximity to the beach and gym. For international buyers, the turn-key nature, including furniture and recent renovation, removes the logistical burden of furnishing. It is less suitable for those seeking a quiet, isolated retreat in the hills.
The renovation has focused on integrating contemporary technical systems with premium surface finishes. The installation of an Airzone climate system allows for independent temperature regulation in each room. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances. The double-sided fireplace acts as a structural and visual partition between the living and dining zones. Security has been addressed through the reinforcement of the entrance door. Bathrooms feature high-quality sanitary ware and tiling. The terraces have been treated to accommodate a private swimming pool, requiring specific waterproofing and structural reinforcement. The property is delivered with designer furniture, ensuring immediate occupancy.
The listed price is set at €2,450,000. This figure reflects the inclusion of the private pool and the extent of the renovation work. Comparable properties in the Marbella area, such as those in Soul Marbella Sunlife or The List Rio Real, start at lower price points, though those often involve off-plan purchases. The price point positions this property in the upper segment of the apartment market. Costs associated with the property, such as community fees and utilities, are consistent with luxury urban developments requiring maintenance of extensive amenities like 24-hour security.
Life here revolves around the contrast between private elevated leisure and immediate urban accessibility. The duplex configuration separates the daytime activity on the main floor from the night-time quiet upstairs. Mornings begin with sunlight on the south-facing terrace, where the private pool serves as a private alternative to the beach. The open-plan kitchen connects directly to this outdoor space, facilitating indoor-outdoor dining. Daily necessities are handled without the need for a vehicle; a pharmacy is located 8 metres away, and supermarkets are within 250 metres. The proximity to the Polideportivo Francisco Norte sports centre supports a routine focused on physical activity. The surrounding neighbourhood is vibrant. With over 100 restaurants within a 2-kilometre radius, dining options are extensive. The proximity to the fishing port adds a local, functional maritime character to the area, distinct from the manicured resorts further west.
The immediate environment is defined by its integration into Marbella’s urban fabric. The Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen is 500 metres away, providing mooring services and waterfront dining. The A-7 motorway is accessible, linking the property to Málaga Airport efficiently. Public transport is robust, with 11 bus lines serving the area. This connectivity supports movement without a private vehicle. The neighbourhood is flat, at 23 metres above sea level, which facilitates easy walking and cycling. Infrastructure for daily life is dense. Five health centres and multiple pharmacies serve the locality.
The map displays the property's location in the central district of Marbella, near the intersection of the urban grid and the coastal strip. It highlights the proximity to the Puerto Deportivo and Playa de la Bajadilla. The layout indicates a flat terrain with high density of amenities and direct access routes to the A-7 motorway.

Compared to new developments such as Soul Marbella Sunlife or Golden Eight, this property offers immediate availability and a central urban location rather than a suburban setting. Those projects are typically positioned further from the immediate centre, often requiring a car for most errands. In contrast, this duplex allows for a car-free lifestyle due to its density of amenities. While new builds offer contemporary architecture from the ground up, this property achieves a similar standard through comprehensive renovation. The presence of a private pool within an apartment complex is a feature distinguishing it from standard apartments in the region. Price-wise, it sits at a premium level compared to the 'starting from' prices of off-plan projects, reflecting the turn-key nature, furniture inclusion, and the specific rarity of a private pool in this location.
