Feature: Lift

In its prime position within one of the coasts most renowned gated communities, offering an alfresco gymnasium, Andalucian style walkways and passageways guiding you around the urbanization and with beautifully tended gardens and swimming pool, this is a leafy oasis unlike any other.

Rising above its surroundings yet protected by the all embracing silhouette of the iconic La Concha mountain at the rear, this stunning penthouse is sublet yet elegant in both its position and its appearance.

Walking into the open plan living areas you are immediately taken aback by the sheer luminosity of the entire floor. Windows that appear to wrap around the facade of the property give huge glimpses of breathtaking views that steal your gaze from the mountain range, down to the coast and out across the glistening Mediterranean Sea where the deep blue borderline of the horizon meets the skies above.

The dining room is elegant on one side of the main living area, streamlined in white and black neutral shades – a theme that continues over in the kitchen which stands adjacent. This kitchen has been astutely designed to run the length of the property yet offer bar seating area at one end. The kitchen is fully equipped with a myriad of first class appliances, including a wine cooler, all cleverly integrated within the white units that sit juxtaposed to the black countertops. A glass door at one end gives direct access out onto the terrace that encircles the property.

Delicately positioned in the main section of the floor is the seating area, frame again by the windows along the front of the property. Beautifully dressed in white, in keeping with the cleanliness of the decor, and with touches of pastel colour, this area gives a feeling of elegant ease. A chaise longue is ingeniously placed in the far corner adding a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to the ambience. All throughout the touches of colour subliminally link each space to its neighbor, thus creating a graceful continuance.

The hall leading off from the dining area reveals two dazzling bedrooms, each one a quiet corner offering reflection and tranquility. The guest bedroom is charming in it pastel pink and white furnishings, with mirrors skillfully positioned to reflect as much light as possible. The effect is glittering. Its adjoining bathroom is simplistically designed and uncluttered, offering a feeling of serenity to its guests.

However, it is the master suite that is resplendent, both in size and illumination. Furnished in pure white with just a splash of vibrant colour here and there, this room commands your attention. With the bed strategically placed to appreciate views through the windows and a colossal walk in wardrobe and dressing room at one end, this feels more like a separate wing to the property than a bedroom! The ensuite bathroom has an aura of chintzy chic to it, with its delicately flowered wall paper, yet is sleek in its modernity with a full length walk in shower at one end and two sink units side by side, all in pure white.

The terrace that wraps around the property is open and wonderfully designed, with various seating and dining areas, all of which enjoy both sun and shade at different times of the day. The view across the tree tops and over to the sea are all encompassing as are the views back across to La Concha. Up yet further to the solarium floor is the roof top. This hidden secret offers promises of long lazy summer afternoons spent lounging under the summer sun or of evenings spent sipping cocktails and counting stars.

With is exalted location on the Golden Mile this penthouse is simply stunning… a sanctuary yet still a home… a home that, once you are safely esconced within, you may never want to leave. Perfect!
