Nestled in Marbella’s Nueva Andalucía, a spacious three‑bedroom apartment at 61 Calle Tucán presents an instructive example of the kind of residence Elliott James brings to international buyers: measured, well‑proportioned and sensitively presented for life on the Costa del Sol.

Discovering a Marbella apartment that balances space and light

This apartment spans 172 square metres across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with generous terraces and a composition that privileges daylight and sightlines. As shown in the property photos, the principal reception enjoys wide glazing and an open plan that connects living, dining and kitchen without sacrificing defined, usable zones for everyday life.

The apartment is sold furnished and benefits from practical conveniences that matter to international purchasers: air conditioning, lift access and private garage parking. Images capture the terrace terrace and landscaped communal areas that frame distant sea glimpses, conveying the sense of an indoor‑outdoor life that is central to Marbella living.

A considered specification for long‑term living

Three well‑proportioned bedrooms provide private retreats while two modern bathrooms use restrained materials and clean detailing to remain both durable and discreet. The apartment’s layout and finishes—evident in the photographic sequence—speak to an emphasis on longevity rather than trend, an important characteristic for buyers who view property as a generational asset rather than a short‑term project.

Features that matter to international buyers

• Swimming pool, private garage, generous terraces, furnished interiors, air conditioning, elevator access.

These attributes reduce friction for relocation, short‑term letting and second‑home use: buyers arriving from abroad value turnkey presentation, secure parking and communal amenities that contribute to occupancy rates when the property is let. The photographic series included with this listing makes those practical benefits immediately legible to a remote audience.

Why Elliott James curated this listing

Elliott James positions itself in Marbella as a boutique agency marrying local market fluency with an understanding of international buyer expectations. With four years in business and a focused specialisation that spans luxury, first‑time buyers and investment, the agency looks for properties that combine sound construction, desirable location and efficient layouts. This apartment exemplifies those criteria: a solid build, clear rental appeal and close proximity to Puerto Banús and regional golf courses.

In practice, Elliott James’s process for acquisitions like this is threefold: local sourcing and validation; targeted presentation for overseas audiences; and practical handover support. From arranging professional photography (the images you see) to advising on furniture packages and rental positioning, the agency reduces cross‑border complexity while safeguarding value.

Nueva Andalucía and the strategic appeal for international buyers

Nueva Andalucía occupies a discreet place in Marbella’s geography: close enough to the amenities of Puerto Banús to satisfy aspirational lifestyle requirements, yet composed enough to deliver everyday calm. The neighbourhood’s mix of established residential communities and manicured golf courses makes it a resilient market for both long‑term holders and seasonal visitors. For buyers overseas, its combination of transport links, international schooling options and leisure infrastructure is a practical selling point.

Price context: listed at EUR 899,000 plus furniture, the apartment sits in a bracket that attracts both professional couples seeking a permanent base and investors targeting steady holiday rental demand. Elliott James frames such pricing with comparable market data and occupancy forecasts, enabling buyers to weigh lifestyle and income potential in equal measure.

How this property illustrates Elliott James’s practical advantages

Take this apartment as a case study: Elliott James identified a property whose spatial qualities and amenity mix would translate well for an international brochure—clear reception volumes, outdoor terraces and low‑maintenance communal grounds. The agency’s marketing emphasises these points in imagery and copy, while their local insight ensures appropriate pricing and negotiation strategy.

Where some larger firms treat Mediterranean properties as interchangeable listings, Elliott James focuses on provenance and presentation—matching the apartment’s character to suitable audiences and advising on modest investments (for example, a tailored furniture package) that can materially increase rental yield and buyer satisfaction.

What to look for when evaluating similar Marbella apartments

• Orientation and natural light Construction quality and material finish Commute and amenity proximity (beach, marina, golf) Service charges and communal maintenance Potential for immediate occupation vs cosmetic upgrade

These are the practical questions Elliott James answers for clients. The agency’s local relationships—between surveyors, legal advisers and property managers—streamline due diligence for buyers who cannot be on the ground for every step.

Staging, stewardship and onward management

For international owners the transaction is only the beginning. Elliott James advises on staging (the images illustrate a measured, lived‑in aesthetic), rental management and practical stewardship so the property performs both as a home and an asset. Their hands‑on approach to handover reduces the common frictions—keys, utilities, local registration and rental listings—that can hamper cross‑border ownership.

Documentation and transparency are core to the agency’s offering: detailed condition reports, clear breakdowns of running costs and realistic income scenarios are prepared for buyers at an early stage, enabling decisions founded on both emotion and evidence.

A concise view for discerning international buyers

This apartment in Nueva Andalucía is characteristic of what an international buyer should seek in Marbella: a thoughtful plan, outdoor space, secure parking and communal amenities that support either full‑time residence or short‑term letting. Elliott James’s role is to translate those tangible qualities into a clear purchase proposition and to manage the practicalities that follow.

As the images demonstrate, the property makes a restrained, persuasive case on first inspection—ample light, considered proportion and immediate usability. For buyers who value architectural calm and practical stewardship, properties such as this reward careful attention.

If you are considering Marbella—whether for a primary residence, a seasonal retreat or an investment—engaging a firm that blends local knowledge with international‑facing service is essential. Elliott James offers that blend: focused specialisms, curated presentation and logistical support tailored to overseas purchasers.
