Andalucia, Malaga, Marbella, Spain

This residential community offers what we can only remember from watching American films set in surburbian residential neighbourhoods.

This gated community has 24-hour security. On the private street you will see neighbours walking their dogs, children riding bycicles, rollerblading and playing basketball. All the townhouses surround a nucleus consisting of a lovely large swimming pool, volleyball court, football pitch and a children's playground.

Living here also makes the parents happy. Many top golf courses and padel clubs are very close by, as is a popular shopping centre with dry cleaners, phamacy, supermarket, boutiques and excellent restaurants offering first class al-fresco dining. From here you are just 5 minutes away from the small town of San Pedro de Alcántara, a 5 minute drive from the beach and a 10 minute drive to the luxury yacht marina, Puerto Banus.

Top local and international schools are just a few minutes away by car, making this area so popular with families.

The existing owners have lived in the house for 10 years. The east-facing property offers a warm morning light and ensures cooler afternoons as the sun sets in the west. Views extend on to Marbella's iconic La Concha mountain.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The owner has made improvements such as raised the kitchen ceiling, installed under floor heating in 2 bathrooms which have also been upgraded and gas heating via radiators for the short winter and independant a/c for the warmer months.

The garden surrounds the house and is ideal for BBQs and chilling.

Oh, and the house has a roof terrace.
