Penthouse in Estepona

Some apartments sell you a view and then leave you short of space. This one does the opposite. Two hundred and twenty-seven square metres, four bedrooms — one already turned into an elegant dressing room — and fitted wardrobes in all of them. Air conditioning in every room, so the house works in August and in January without a fight. The bathrooms are designed rather than merely fitted. One has a hydromassage bathtub, the sort of room you close the door on at the end of a long day. The other has a large walk-in shower, modern and practical, for mornings when you do not have time to linger. What really sets the place apart is the outdoor life. There are two terraces. One is enclosed: a private chill-out, a second sitting room, a space you can use in winter without watching the weather. The other is open, off the kitchen and the living room, the one for breakfast in the sun and dinner when the heat has gone. Quiet, not overlooked, and large enough to matter. A private garage space and a storage room come with it. A penthouse that combines elegance with rooms that actually work — for living in Estepona all year, or for an investment in one of the town’s most sought-after areas. Viewing highly recommended.
