Beautifully renovated 1.5 bedroom apartment in popular location close to shops and restaurants. This ground floor apartment has been cleverly designed to suit a couple looking to spend extended holidays in the sun while offering all the advantages of a lock up and leave secure property without any hassle. Located on a gated complex just a few minutes walk from a large array of restaurants, cafes, shops and office, it's a popular destination for golfers and bowlers as well as those looking to spend more time here. It also benefits from an underground parking space and storeroom which can be difficult to find in the area. Inside the apartment is very bright and welcoming, decorated in such a way to bring the outside sunshine in. The open plan living room and kitchen maximises the natural light entering the apartment and creates a very inviting entertaining space. The bedroom is also decorated beautifully and has fitted wardrobes. The renovated bathroom has a large walk in shower and truly maximises the space available. In addition there is a guest toilet in an extra room that could be used as an office, dressing room or even a nursery. Being located on the ground floor, the terrace looks over the community gardens with its mature plants and trees. There is a community swimming pool and a central area where residents can exchange books and meet the community president (by prior arrangement). The complex is located within the area of El Pilar which is adjacent to El Paraiso. It's just a few minutes walk between the two areas and it's also possible to walk across to the beach via a footbridge. There are several sporting facilities in the area including a popular gym, tennis club and golf course. The area is well served by the local bus route between Marbella and Estepona, and there are always taxis nearby. The community provides a wifi service to each apartment and has recently installed solar panels in order to be able to provide more economic electricity in the community areas.
