Apartment for sale in Málaga city, Málaga

Property on the fifth floor of a period building dating from 1954, on Avenida de Manuel Agustín Heredia, the road that separates the city centre from the port of Málaga. It occupies 118 m² built area—138 m² including common areas; 114 m² habitable according to the energy performance certificate—in an eight-story building with an elevator. Completely renovated, it retains the high ceilings typical of mid-century Málaga architecture.

History

The Ensanche Heredia is Málaga's only true urban expansion: a triangular plot of land reclaimed from the sea in the 19th century during the port's expansion, laid out according to Daniel Rubio's Expansion Plan. The building dates from 1954, the same year that other buildings such as the Trade Union Building and the Palace of Justice were erected here. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the area has been home to the Soho or Arts Neighbourhood, a neighborhood initiative later supported by the Arts Neighbourhood Master Plan (2011–2014), which brought pedestrianization, urban art, and the CAC Málaga (Contemporary Art Center Málaga).

Exteriors

It is not a property with a terrace or garden, but an urban apartment on a high floor: what it offers to the exterior are views over the city from a fifth floor, on a wide avenue where the building opposite does not close the perspective.

Inside

The renovation has given the house a contemporary feel: an open-plan kitchen integrated with the living and dining room, so the main space functions as a continuous room. This layout accommodates both the daily needs of two people and a large gathering for guests. The high ceilings, unusual in new build, help to distribute light throughout the house. The bedroom area remains separate from the social area, with built-in wardrobes and two bathrooms that allow for entertaining guests without disrupting the daily routine. With no exterior maintenance and an elevator, it's easy to close up for extended periods.

Quality

Complete refurbishment: double glazing, updated woodwork, equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and alarm system. The energy performance certificate from May 2024 awards a D rating for non-renewable primary energy consumption (62.43 kWh/m² year) and emissions (14.19 kgCO2/m² year), with a C cooling demand. Home automation, aerothermics, and underfloor heating: [Missing information].

Lifestyle

Living here means not depending on a car. The historic centre, Calle Larios, the Cathedral, and the Roman Theatre are all within walking distance; Muelle Uno and the city beaches are just a few minutes away. Public and intercity transport is right on your doorstep: the Muelle Heredia station is about 255 meters away.

Who will fall in love with this house?

This property would be especially attractive to those seeking permanent residence in the centre of Malaga and preferring a building with character to new build; to professionals who work remotely and want a move-in ready home where everything is within walking distance; to families with children in international schools; to buyers of second homes for intermittent use, due to the ease of closing off an apartment with no exterior to maintain; and to those who consider the location part of their heritage, with the San Andrés marina and the future Music Auditorium transforming the western port area.
