Apartment for sale in Garrucha, Almería

Front-line position, top floor, unobstructed sea views

This apartment occupies the third and top floor of a building set directly on the Paseo del Malecón in Garrucha. The main façade faces east, and from both bedrooms on that side and from the terrace, the views take in the marina, the promenade and the open Mediterranean without anything in the way. This is not a side-on or partial glimpse of the sea — the entire front of the flat looks straight out over the water. The beach is 120 metres on foot.

Being on the top floor means there are no neighbours above. In practical terms: no footsteps, no vibrations, and natural light that arrives unfiltered from above throughout the day.

Layout: 79 m² with two bedrooms and a separate kitchen

The flat offers 79 m² gross and 65 m² net. It comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, a sitting and dining room, and a separate kitchen. Both bedrooms face the Malecón and open directly onto the terrace. The sitting room sits towards the interior of the building but receives natural light through windows onto two internal courtyards, one on each side, which prevents the darkness often found in rooms without an exterior aspect. The kitchen is separate and fitted.

The flat is sold semi-furnished as shown in the photographs and video.

The building: new lift and step-free access

The building dates from 1983 and has a recently installed lift — wide, with a door broad enough for a wheelchair. Street-level access is completely flat, with no steps or ramps. The front door to the flat is a security door fitted within the last few years. The main exterior windows are aluminium-framed double glazing replaced between 15 and 20 years ago; two windows retain the original aluminium frames with single glazing. The electrical installation has been updated since the building was first constructed.

What the flat needs: a full refurbishment on your terms

The flat needs refurbishment. The main areas are the bathroom, kitchen, flooring and a plumbing check. The security door and the double-glazed windows are in good condition and do not need immediate attention. The asking price reflects the current state of the property: 178,000 euros for a front-line apartment on the Malecón, top floor, east-facing, with direct views over the marina. It is a flat for buyers who want to choose every finish themselves and secure one of the few genuinely front-line positions that still come to market in Garrucha.

Who this flat suits

It suits buyers looking for a permanent home or a holiday base on the seafront, with views guaranteed by the height and orientation of the building, and who are ready to carry out a full refurbishment to their own specification. It also suits buyers with reduced mobility or who are planning ahead: street access is level and the lift is adapted, though the flat itself has not been converted. A top-floor, front-line position on the Malecón is a combination that does not come up often in Garrucha.
