An Italian-style villa in El Rosario, Marbella East, on a large flat plot of roughly 1,300 m². Flat is the word that matters. Most plots of this size on the coast slope, which eats usable garden and adds retaining walls. Here the garden is level, private and large enough to actually use — including a tree house for children, which tells you how the current owners have lived in it. The architecture is classical Italian, with extensive travertine marble through the house. Terraces face both east and west, so you get morning sun on one side and the evening on the other, with sea views and La Concha in the frame. The pool has recently been renovated. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 464 m². The house is in good condition and works as it stands, but the honest framing is that it has clear upside. Two of the upper-floor bedrooms could be combined into a principal suite of around 80–90 m², which would then open onto two large private terraces with the best views in the house. That is a straightforward project with an obvious result, and it is the kind of improvement that adds more than it costs. Position is the quiet, lower part of El Rosario, within walking distance of the local commercial centre, with restaurants and tennis facilities close by. The urbanisation has 24-hour security. 464 m² built on a 1,300 m² flat plot. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, renovated pool, east and west terraces, sea and mountain views, 24-hour security.
