Andalucia, Malaga, Málaga, Spain

This is not a typical city-centre apartment. Set on the third floor of a character building dating from 1900, the property has been completely renovated while retaining the proportions and architectural details that give older Málaga homes their appeal.

One of its most distinctive features is its relationship with the outside. The main rooms open onto balconies, with west- and north-facing aspects across the apartment, while the office connected to the principal bedroom enjoys a south-facing position through large glazed terrace doors. Natural light therefore changes throughout the home over the course of the day.

Inside, exposed wooden beams add warmth and character to a renovation that feels contemporary without losing the personality of the original property.

The living accommodation is particularly generous. Alongside the main living room is a second large open lounge, creating two genuinely different areas for relaxing and entertaining. This additional space works naturally as a family room, TV lounge or more informal sitting area.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area form the social heart of the home, with a comfortable flow between cooking, dining and the adjoining living spaces.

There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including an en-suite bathroom in the principal bedroom, together with a separate guest toilet.

The principal bedroom connects directly to a dedicated office at the far end of the apartment. Bright, quiet and set apart from the main social areas, it provides a particularly good work-from-home space. A dedicated laundry area is conveniently positioned by the entrance.

The distribution is one of the property’s strongest qualities: generous connected living areas, clearly defined private spaces and an unusual number of exterior openings for a home in central Málaga.

Located on Calle San Lorenzo, close to Soho and within easy walking distance of the Historic Centre, Alameda and the port, this is a substantial city home with character, light and a layout that is increasingly difficult to find in this location.
