This is a penthouse of 157 m² for renovation on the top floor of a building with an elevator, constructed in 1967 and located at Plaza Lucero No. 15, in the central zone of Alicante. Currently, the dwelling is distributed as follows: an entrance hall leading to a living-dining room with a terrace and views of Plaza Lucero.

Three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, one of which has access to a terrace of 20 m², and one bathroom with a shower. The property has a spacious lobby with a PMB entrance and two elevators for access to the residential areas, with 2 apartments on each floor.

The dwelling offers fantastic possibilities, and we have a renovation proposal executed by the Volta architectural studio, which restores the terrace for enjoying views and natural light throughout the day. The project provides for an open and flowing distribution, where the spaces are harmoniously connected to one another to enhance the feeling of simplicity and sense of home. The kitchen is integrated into the living room, creating a functional and modern atmosphere, ideal for enjoyment. From this space one can admire the views of Plaza Lucero and, in the distance, the sea.

Furthermore, it has excellent connections to Renfe station within a few minutes' walk and all services at hand.

About Alicante

Alicante, the capital of the Costa Blanca
Alicante is the provincial capital and the urban heart of the Costa Blanca, a Mediterranean city of around 366,000 people. High on Mount Benacantil, 169 metres up, the castle of Santa Bárbara watches over the bay, and at its feet the city opens onto a seafront of beach, palm trees and harbour. This is a place that lives all year, with markets, terraces and a centre made for walking.
El Postiguet and the seafront
Postiguet is the city beach par excellence, golden sand right below the castle. A few steps away begins the Explanada de España, the promenade paved with waves of red, cream and black marble that give Alicante its most recognisable image. Facing it, the port mixes large vessels with the marina and its jetties. That closeness between sea and city shapes daily life here.

The castle and the Santa Cruz quarter
Climbing up to Santa Bárbara castle is the quickest way to understand Alicante: the bay, the rooftops, the mountains behind. It is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, reached on foot, by the lift from Postiguet or by car. Down the slope, the Santa Cruz quarter tangles white lanes, flowerpots and steep steps up to the Co-cathedral of San Nicolás. This is the old town locals simply call El Barrio.

Market, rice and bonfires
Alicante cooking turns around rice and the sea: arroz a banda, arroz del senyoret, caldero, and the cured salted fish eaten as an aperitif. The Central Market, a modernist landmark, is still the belly of the city. In June the Hogueras de San Juan fill the streets with towering figures, gunpowder and music until the night of the cremà, when everything burns; they are a Festival of International Tourist Interest.
Well connected by land, sea and air
Alicante-Elche airport lies a little over ten kilometres from the centre and is one of the busiest in Spain, with direct flights across much of Europe. The TRAM light rail links the city with El Campello, Benidorm and the northern coast, while the train connects to Madrid by high speed. Getting around from here, within the province or beyond, is easy.

Buying in Alicante
Buying in Alicante means choosing between different worlds inside one city: the old town, the central ensanche, the seafront at Postiguet or the residential areas towards San Juan beach. In the centre we are currently handling a luxury four-bedroom penthouse with lift, a short walk from the sea and the Explanada. If you are looking around here, let's talk.
