Dual-aspect first floor flat for complete renovation

One bedroom, one bathroom, a balcony and a terrace divide the layout of this 60 m² built area, with rooms facing both north and south to draw light and air straight through the building. Listed as a 1 bedroom middle floor apartment with private pool in El Paraiso, the property also includes use of a communal pool and sits on the first floor without a lift.

Scope of the renovation and the walk-up access

The flat is sold as a shell that needs complete renovation, allowing the next owner to specify the kitchen, bathroom fittings and flooring from scratch rather than paying for someone else's recent taste. Before drawing up plans, a buyer should check the position of the service risers and structural walls to see how far the current arrangement can be opened up. Because there is no lift in the building, all building materials and new appliances will have to come up the stairs, and the flat will not suit anyone who wants step-free access.

The terrace and what the community includes

Outside space amounts to 18 m² across a terrace and a balcony, split between the south and north sides of the building. Having both aspects means there is a sunny side through the middle of the day and a shaded side when the summer heat builds up. Downstairs, the residential block provides communal gardens and a communal pool, along with an allocated parking space that is included with the property.

Surrounding clubs, schooling and road links

El Paraiso sits on the eastern edge of Estepona, and this block is within a short walk of the International School Estepona. Tennis courts, lawn bowls and social clubs sit on either side of the neighbourhood, giving residents places to play and meet on foot. Drivers have a direct link to the A-7 coastal road for trips toward San Pedro or Estepona town, yet the flat sits far enough back from the carriageway to avoid road noise. Anyone considering a 1 bedroom middle floor apartment with private pool in El Paraiso for its quiet setting should verify the exact parking bay and the community rules for building works during a viewing.
