Mieszkanie, sypialnie: 2, Casares

Some penthouses give you a terrace. This one gives you almost as much outdoor space as you have inside.

Set within the gated community of Casares del Sol, this south facing two bedroom penthouse offers 74 m² of bright interior living space together with an impressive 80 m² of terraces.

But it is upstairs where this home really comes into its own.

The private rooftop solarium gives you your own space in the sun with a Jacuzzi, plenty of room for sunbeds, dining and entertaining and open views across the surrounding landscape towards the Mediterranean. It is the kind of space that makes you remember exactly why you wanted a home on the Costa del Sol in the first place.

Downstairs, the bright living and dining area opens directly onto another generous terrace overlooking the landscaped gardens and swimming pools. The fitted kitchen comes with new appliances and a separate utility area.

There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with walk in shower, while the second bedroom also has fitted wardrobes and a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens.

Casares del Sol is an established gated community with beautifully maintained gardens, three communal swimming pools and 24 hour security. The property also includes private underground parking and a spacious storage room.

The beach, restaurants and some of the Costa del Sol's best golf are all within easy reach, including Finca Cortesin. Estepona, La Duquesa and Sabinillas are also just a short drive away.

Sold fully furnished and ready to move into, this is a home that works equally well as a permanent residence, a lock up and leave holiday home or an investment on the Costa del Sol.

And with 80 m² of terraces and your own rooftop Jacuzzi, you may find the best room in the house is actually outside.
