Marcelli di Numana: Renovated Duplex Just Steps from the Beach, with Private Garage

A Coastal Duplex at Marcelli di Numana

A short walk from the Adriatic shoreline, this two-level apartment occupies the first floor of a small gated complex in Marcelli di Numana, within the Province of Ancona. The gravel beach lies roughly seventy metres from the entrance, close enough for an unhurried morning swim without the apartment positioning itself as a seafront address. What it offers instead is proportion: a compact, well-organised interior arranged over two floors, furnished and ready for immediate use, whether as a personal retreat on the Marche coast or as a managed rental.

Built in 1996, the building has a straightforward, practical footprint typical of this stretch of the Adriatic, where low-rise residential complexes sit a few streets back from the water. The interior staircase and window fittings have been updated since construction, and the apartment is delivered with autonomous gas heating, serviced by radiators throughout. There is no air conditioning installed, a detail worth noting for buyers weighing summer comfort against the sea breeze that tends to moderate temperatures along this part of the coast.

Layout and Proportions

The living space totals 93 square metres of interior area, with the duplex arrangement bringing the overall footprint to 102 square metres once terraces are included. The ground level holds the principal living and dining space, organised for everyday use rather than display, while the upper floor houses both bedrooms. Each of the two upper-floor bedrooms opens onto its own balcony, part of the 32 square metres of total terrace space distributed across the unit, giving the apartment two distinct outdoor pockets rather than a single shared one.

Included: Private Garage and Parking

A 23 square metre private garage box is included in the sale, located within the complex’s underground parking area. For a coastal property in a region where street parking during the summer season can be difficult to secure, a dedicated garage of this size, large enough for a vehicle and additional storage, is a practical asset rather than an incidental one. It is positioned within the same gated complex as the apartment, so access does not require a separate commute or a second property transaction.

Marcelli di Numana and the Marche Coast

Marcelli sits just south of Numana proper, on a stretch of the Adriatic coast known for gravel beaches, the limestone promontory of Monte Conero nearby, and a slower pace than the larger resort towns further north. The apartment’s position here places it within walking distance of the shoreline and within easy reach of Numana’s harbour and the coastal road connecting toward Sirolo and the Conero Regional Park. For buyers assessing the Marche region more broadly as part of a wider search across Real Estate in Italy, Marcelli represents one of the more accessible entry points to Adriatic coastal ownership, priced well below comparable properties on Italy’s western coastline.

For those weighing the practicalities of coastal property ownership against the broader motivations that draw international buyers to the country, the considerations are addressed in Buy a House in Italy: What Attracts People to Move to This Country?, which sets out the logistics, costs, and lifestyle factors relevant to a purchase of this kind.

A Short Walk to the Shore

What distinguishes this apartment is not scale but position and readiness: a furnished, two-level home with two balcony-equipped bedrooms, a private garage already secured within the complex, and a beach that begins roughly seventy metres from the front door. For a second home or a rental-ready coastal unit on the Adriatic, that combination of proximity and practicality is the apartment’s clearest asset.
