Renovated down to the wiring, plumbing and waterproofing

A complete technical overhaul sets this home apart from standard cosmetic updates on the coast: the electrical installations, plumbing, and waterproofing have all been replaced. This 3 bedroom penthouse with private pool in El Paraiso covers 131 m2 of built area and comes to the market as a resale property in a contemporary Scandinavian style. Because the hidden infrastructure has already been renewed, a buyer avoids the months of dust, permit delays, and contractor management that usually come with older properties in the area.

Open-plan layout and current room use

The floor plan is open, connecting the main living area with the rest of the home. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. Currently, the owners use two of the bedrooms as offices. Because of this working arrangement, some listing photographs use AI-generated staging to show how those two rooms look with beds in them. When viewing this 3 bedroom penthouse with private pool in El Paraiso, a buyer should measure those two secondary rooms in person to verify how standard beds and wardrobes fit the physical space.

South-west terrace and shared grounds

Outdoor living happens on a south to south-west facing terrace that holds the afternoon and evening light. The space is large enough to hold a dining table, an outdoor lounge, and sun loungers at the same time, and it is fitted with an outdoor bathtub, a shower, and a barbecue. Downstairs, the wider complex is a gated community with communal gardens and a swimming pool, so residents have access to full-sized swimming facilities and maintained green space without having to tend to the planting themselves.

Licences and daily errands in El Pilar

The paperwork includes both a First Occupancy Licence (LPO) and a tourist rental licence. Having both documents in place is a clear practical advantage for anyone who wants the option to let the property legally for short stays, as several communities and town halls now restrict new applications. Day-to-day errands in the El Pilar section of El Paraiso are straightforward: SuperCor, Mercadona, Lidl, and a pharmacy are all close by, along with restaurants, padel courts, schools, bus stops, and the beach. The location sits between Marbella and Estepona, making both towns accessible by a short drive.
