Chalet en Benalmádena

Outside, 35 identical villas. Inside, it\\\'s one of a kind.~~From the street, you couldn\\\'t tell it apart.~Same façade. Same white. Same sea in front. Big Blue has 35 villas built from the same plan, and from the pavement they all promise the same thing.~That\\\'s why almost nobody notices what matters.~What matters begins when you close the door.~A couple bought this house to stay. Not to rent it out. Not to flip it. To live in it.~And when people make a house for themselves, it shows in things no listing puts on the cover photo.~It shows in the fact that there isn\\\'t one kitchen. There are three.~The everyday one.~The summer one, on the terrace: barbecue, fridge, dishwasher and a table where dinners run late. Next to it, an outdoor dining area and lounge.~And the one in the lower living room: a bar with a wine cooler, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. So nobody has to climb the stairs carrying a tray.~Speaking of stairs.~There are three floors. In Big Blue the lift was optional, and many houses were left with an empty shaft. Here it works. Every day. With the shopping bags, with the suitcases, with the years.~It shows in the bill. Solar panels, batteries and aerothermal heating. Around €100 a month in electricity for a three-storey house. That\\\'s not a typo.~It shows in the walk-in closet. The one where everything fits and there\\\'s still room to spare.~It shows in the bathrooms. One per bedroom. Chosen piece by piece by someone who would use them every morning.~Three en-suite bedrooms. It could have been four. The owners preferred a reading corner with good light. If you need the fourth bedroom, it\\\'s one wall and one door. If not, you keep the corner.~And the pool?~There isn\\\'t one. And it doesn\\\'t need one.~Three minutes\\\' walk away is the club\\\'s: infinity edge, saltwater, facing the Mediterranean. With a sun terrace, gym and gardens. You walk down with your towel. The chlorine, the pump, the damp and the winter are someone else\\\'s job.~Now go ahead and compare.~There are cheaper houses on this street. Some with a pool. Some with an extra bedroom.~Add up the renovation they still need. The lift they never installed. The panels. The batteries. Only one kitchen. And the year of building work you\\\'ll go through before you can live in them.~Then look at the price again.~Because expensive and valuable are not the same thing. Expensive is measured the day you sign. Valuable is measured every day you live in a house without having to fix anything.~This one needs nothing. Whatever you change will be because you want to. Not because the house asks you to.~3 en-suite bedrooms (fourth possible) · working lift · solar panels with batteries · 3 kitchens~Come and see it. What doesn\\\'t fit in the photos makes sense the moment you walk in.~Lucía Ballén · Lucci Luxury · Keller Williams Marbella~~LBB~~Estimated costs borne by the buyer:~The purchase is subject to Transfer Tax (ITP) (Law 5/2021 on Transferred Taxes), with a general maximum rate of 7%.
