A classic Andalusian villa in La Merced, one of the quieter established addresses close to Marbella centre. The beach, the old town, schools, supermarkets and pharmacies are all a few minutes away, but the street itself stays residential. The house is laid out over two floors, each with its own independent access — the single most useful thing about the layout. The main floor has three bedrooms, a separate kitchen, and a generous living and dining room with a defined office corner. From there you step onto a large terrace that does most of the living in summer. The lower floor is where the flexibility sits: a further bedroom with bathroom, completely private thanks to the separate entrance, plus a large open area that can become whatever the owner needs — a guest apartment, a gym, a leisure room or a proper working floor. A garage for two cars completes the level. What this property is, honestly: a well-built house with good bones, generous proportions and a serious location, that has not been modernised. The structure, the light and the plot are the value. The finishes are a renovation project, and the price reflects that rather than hiding it. For a buyer who wants Marbella centre, a 928 m² plot and the chance to end up with exactly the house they want, that is a better starting point than a finished property built to somebody else's taste. For a buyer who wants to move in next month, it is not. 400 m² built on a 928 m² plot. Four bedrooms, five bathrooms, private pool, garage for two cars.
