Interior Layout
Well maintained and presented in excellent condition, the apartment has been carefully looked after by the original owners since it was built. The entrance hall leads left into a bright living and dining area, which opens directly onto the balcony.
Opposite the living space is a fully fitted kitchen equipped with a fridge-freezer, electric hob, oven, and recently installed dishwasher. An adjoining utility room provides additional practicality, housing the washing machine and extra storage space.
Both bedrooms are accessed from a central hallway. The main bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub. The second bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes and benefits from a Juliette balcony overlooking the pool, gardens, and surrounding parkland.
The second bathroom has been renovated and now includes a modern walk-in shower, also serving as a guest WC. The property further benefits from an upgraded central air-conditioning system, installed approximately one year ago.
Balcony and Views
The 11.5 m² balcony provides ample space for outdoor seating and dining, comfortably accommodating a table and chairs. It is ideal for enjoying morning coffee, evening drinks, or relaxed meals outdoors.
The outlook stretches across Phase 1 of Residencial Duquesa, with partial sea views visible between adjacent buildings. This creates a pleasant open feel while maintaining the advantage of a central, highly walkable location.
Community and Location
Residencial Duquesa is a secure, well-maintained gated community featuring landscaped gardens, a communal swimming pool, and a separate childrens pool. The apartment is located in a small block of just six homes, with only two apartments per floor, offering a quieter and more private residential atmosphere.
A lift connects all levels, including the apartment, gardens, underground parking, and storage facilities, making daily living and access particularly convenient. As such, the property is well suited for permanent residence, a holiday home, or a lock-up-and-leave investment.
Duquesa Marina, the beach, and a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, bars, and shops are just over 10 minutes away on foot. Mercadona supermarket and the schools of San Luis de Sabinillas are also within walking distance, adding strong practical appeal for families and longer-term residents.

Highly walkable location near marina, beach, and amenities
Established gated community with pools and landscaped gardens
Short-term rentals permitted in this phase
Lift access to all levels, including parking and storage
