Palomares, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

This first-floor 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, measuring 59m², is located in the Hacienda del Marques III urbanisation in Palomares. The complex is just 1km from the sandy beaches of Palomares, with the village centre accessible in less than a 10-minute walk.

The apartment boasts a private south-east-facing terrace, a private solarium, access to a communal swimming pool, and includes two underground parking spaces with a lock-up storeroom-an incredibly rare feature.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a well-designed open-plan living space that allows plenty of natural light to flow through the patio doors, leading to the terrace. The recently renovated kitchen includes all white goods, granite worktops, and a breakfast bar with high stools. A hallway from the living room leads first to the main bathroom, which has been upgraded with an easy-access walk-in shower. At the end of the hall, you'll find the first double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Adjacent to this is the master bedroom, complete with a private en-suite shower room.

Throughout the property, you'll find flyscreens on all windows and doors, ceiling fans, and a brand-new ducted air conditioning system. The apartment can also be sold fully furnished, subject to negotiation. Fiber optic internet is also available to the property.

Patio doors from the living room open onto a lovely terrace, perfect for enjoying breakfast in the morning sun. A set of stairs from here leads up to one of the highlights of the property, a large private solarium with views over the village and even the distant sea. The current owners have set up this space for entertaining, with shaded areas, an outdoor kitchen setup with a handy drinks fridge and storage.

As mentioned earlier, the property is within easy reach of the village centre, where you'll find an array of tapas bars, cafés, shops, supermarkets, a pharmacy, and a bank, along with a weekly street market held every Wednesday morning. The beaches of Palomares and Vera Playa are less than a 5-minute drive away, or about a 15-minute walk.
