A renovated corner duplex at Pueblo Cortes del Golf

133 square metres of built area and a 30 square metre terrace make up the footprint of this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in El Paraiso. The property is a corner duplex in the gated community of Pueblo Cortes del Golf, on a cul-de-sac that runs alongside El Paraíso Golf with one detached villa between the building and the fairways.

The garage conversion and layout

Originally a two-bedroom home, the property gained its third bedroom and an en-suite shower room by converting the former garage. This takes the total count to three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a layout unique within this community. A storage area remains behind the electric roller door.

Open-plan kitchen and technical overhaul

The main living level puts the kitchen, dining and sitting areas into one room. A walnut-toned kitchen with an island, marble-effect porcelain worktops and integrated appliances faces the seating area, with full-height glazing opening out to the terrace. Behind the surfaces, the renovation covered the building services: the apartment has been fully rewired and replumbed, fitted with new air conditioning, and given new drainage connected to the mains sewer. All windows and doors were replaced at the same time. Inside, the finishes stay consistent from room to room, using 120 cm floor tiles, coffered ceilings with concealed lighting, fitted wardrobes with internal lighting, and bathrooms with walk-in showers, backlit mirrors and brushed-copper fittings.

The terrace and what the community includes

Full-height glass doors link the sitting room to the 30 square metre terrace, which acts as a second dining and cooking room. It is fitted with an outdoor kitchen, a built-in barbecue, bar seating and a dining area for eight people. Beyond the private outdoor space, the gated Pueblo Cortes del Golf community provides a swimming pool and communal gardens. Even with the former garage converted into a bedroom, this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in El Paraiso retains its own off-road parking space, with extra parking available inside the community gates for visitors or a second car. From the cul-de-sac on the New Golden Mile, the beach, San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús are reached by car.
