A rare opportunity – great beachside family villa – first time on the market – Bahia de Marbella – sea views This is a rare opportunity to purchase a great beachside family villa with panoramic sea views in the exclusive and quiet area of Bahia de Marbella, one of the most sought-after beachside neighborhoods just east of the center of Marbella. The property has never been on the market before, the current owner bought before the villa was built and could therefore influence the layout and choice of materials. The house is the one with the best view to the sea of all these villas as there are no houses in front of it and you therefore look down the whole street and straight to the sea which is only 300 meters away. So this is a unique opportunity in this exclusive area which is exceptionally neat and charming, and with security beyond the usual with guards looking after everything 24 hours a day. The property is 277 m2 + terraces and 466 m2 plot, both villa and plot are perceived as much more spacious than the numbers suggest. There are 3 large double bedrooms each with its own bathroom, built-in wardrobes, open solutions, garage under the house and a swimming pool. The garden is well maintained and is visited by a gardener every week. When you enter the home, you immediately get the feeling that this is a solid and cozy family home. When you enter the main door, you first enter a pleasant entrance hall, and here you will also find a guest toilet. You then reach the living room and dining area. The living room is bright and spacious and has an open fireplace. There is a view of the sea from the living room and also access to several terraces. It is also open between the living room and the dining room. In the dining room there is plenty of space for a large dining table so that you can have many guests. Here, too, there is access to the terrace and there is a sea view. It is open between the kitchen and dining room, which is very practical. The kitchen is a solid, Spanish kitchen with a lot of charm. On this level there is also a large bedroom with its own large bathroom, built-in wardrobes and access to the garden. The pool area is very private, only blue sky and bougainvillea hanging over the hedge. In the evening, when darkness comes, you turn on the light in the pool and set the table by the edge of the pool for a pleasant evening. On the second floor there are two further large bedrooms. The master bedroom is very spacious and has exceptionally high ceilings and a French balcony. There are built-in wardrobes and a large bathroom with bath/jacuzzi and separate shower. The second bedroom on this floor is also spacious, has a wardrobe and a private bathroom. There is direct access to a large sunny terrace with fantastic views. On this top terrace there is no view from others – here you can both have breakfast or enjoy the sunset, The garden is lush and well maintained. The pool is heart-shaped and surrounded by bougainvillea, at one end it is very deep, at the other end a little shallower. Here there is also a shelf where it is nice to sit and sip a glass of champagne, which is why the current owner calls this the champagne corner. Here you can swim completely unabashedly without being seen, or have dinner in the garden by the illuminated pool in the evening. There is underfloor heating in all bathrooms, bidets in two of the bathrooms and air conditioning in all bedrooms. At street level there is a spacious garage where there is also space for storage. You can walk straight from the garage and further into the property. This is truly a magnificent hidden gem. Outside, there are four patios to the south and west with sun from morning to evening.
