Located in Marbesa, one of Marbella´s hottest areas to live in and invest in at the moment, this Mediterranean style villa occupies three plots and is one of the best available. The house has good bones and was built to last. Originally built in 1979, the current owners purchased it in 2012 and spared no expense on a tasteful remodel throughout, painstakingly and proudly customising it to suit their lifestyle. This home would be perfect for someone who appreciates a more classical and traditional style but wants to add their personal touch and update it. The feeling you get when you´re inside this property is that it´s 'home'. The energy is so positive that the overall vibe is yes, I could definitely live here and make this place my own. You easily forget how big the property is because the floorplan is so cleverly designed, and the areas are sectioned off in such a way that it feels spacious but cosy at the same time. With respect to location, if you know Marbesa, you will know it´s made up of lots of winding streets that lead down to the beautiful stretch of beach and its great selection of chiringuitos. This villa is one of the few that is located just a few steps from the beach on one of the shortest roads in Marbesa enjoying virtually private access to its entrance gate. Once you drive through the gate, you enter into a courtyard large enough to house four cars with steps leading up to an open terrace and the home´s main entry. To the left of the entrance, you have the swimming pool and to the right, an enclosed garage and a car port. Entering the villa, you enter in on the property´s middle and main floor. On this level, you will find a living room and separate dining room, a fully-equipped kitchen, a guest bedroom with en suite, a powder room, an enclosed terrace, an outdoor terrace and an al fresco dining area leading to the mature garden. The upstairs level is dedicated exclusively to the master suite complete with separate office, huge sumptuous en suite, custom walk-in closet and a private terrace with south-west views of the sea and Gibraltar. There is one more level above the master suite, which is the roof/solarium, which houses the solar panels that operate the underfloor heating throughout the main floor of the property. The basement level offers three additional double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and split hot/cold air-conditioning units and two beautiful family bathrooms with underfloor heating. There is also a large laundry room on this level and a beautiful library with custom cabinetry that boasts French doors leading out onto the pool deck. The large swimming pool has a pool slide and is surrounded by large Cyprus trees providing you with shade and ultimate privacy. The owners have thought of every detail when creating a haven for family and for entertainment. Tucked away beneath the mid-level terrace and leading directly onto the pool deck is a custom bar that ensures everyone´s favourite hang-out will be by the pool all summer long. This home has to be seen to be truly appreciated because it is a home that wants to be lived in and filled with love and laughter.
