Rivitalo, Guardamar del Segura, Costa Blanca

Built in 2021 and facing south, this townhouse in Guardamar del Segura gets natural light from morning till evening. The beach is a 10-minute walk away, and the town centre with supermarkets, shops and restaurants is about 15 minutes on foot.

 Three floors plus a semi-basement, and not a single metre goes to waste. Down below: a private closed garage, a utility area with storage space and an extra room that works as a gym, home office, games room or a fourth bedroom. In other words: 3 bedrooms plus a flex room, or simply 4 bedrooms. All storage is inside the house, no shared storerooms.

 Ground floor: bright living-dining room with a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, guest toilet and an outdoor utility gallery with laundry area. The living room opens straight onto the front garden terrace, for eating outside, sunbathing or doing absolutely nothing.

 First floor: two spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a full bathroom with modern finishes.

 Second floor: a studio-style bedroom with en-suite bathroom and direct access to a solarium with views of the sea and the communal area.

 The complex has a large communal pool. The house has air conditioning, modern exterior joinery and is in excellent condition.

 Running costs: community fees €640/year, IBI (property tax) €487/year.

 Rent-to-own option: €2,000/month, 15% upfront payment, maximum term of 2 years.

 Works as a permanent home, a holiday base or both at once.
