Beachside top floor flat in Jardines de las Golondrinas

A built area of 98 square metres and a 15 square metre terrace define the scale of this resale home. This 3 bedroom top floor apartment in Elviria forms part of the Jardines de las Golondrinas complex, sitting 150 metres from the sandy beach and next to the Don Carlos Resort and Spa in eastern Marbella. Because it sits on the top level of the building, there are no neighbours directly overhead.

A complete overhaul finished in February 2021

Rather than a surface update, the flat underwent a full renovation completed in February 2021. The work replaced the electrical and plumbing systems alongside the floors, walls, ceilings, bathrooms, and kitchen, meaning a buyer does not face the immediate infrastructure repairs common in older coastal buildings. Dimmable downlights were fitted into the ceilings. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances, an integrated extractor hob, and a wine cooler. The living area is arranged across a split level that separates the lounge from the dining area without internal walls.

Three bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms

The sleeping quarters consist of two main bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom. Both of the larger bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms fitted with ceiling rainfall showers and heated mirrors. Because the third bedroom is smaller and does not have an attached bath, it functions best as a single room, a child's room, or a study. For a 3 bedroom top floor apartment in Elviria of just under a hundred square metres, fitting three bedrooms means the third room is compact, which is a detail to measure during a viewing.

The terrace and what the community includes

During the 2021 redesign, a former covered terrace was enclosed and integrated into the built area to form a dining room surrounded by large windows. Alongside this enclosed dining space, the official specifications record a 15 square metre terrace, which provides space for an outdoor table and chairs. Outside the building, the Jardines de las Golondrinas community provides a communal swimming pool, an on-site restaurant, and grounds bordered by tropical gardens and mature pine forests. The property includes parking in the underground garage within the complex, keeping a car out of the summer sun. When inspecting this 3 bedroom top floor apartment in Elviria, note that some of the furniture is excluded from the sale, so a full inventory list should be requested early on.
