Renovated Townhouse, El Paraíso, Estepona

The ground floor is one open-plan space, with the living room, dining area and kitchen flowing into each other beneath herringbone flooring. A fireplace set into built-in shelving with integrated lighting gives the living area a natural focal point. Sliding glass doors open onto a covered terrace with room for outdoor dining and a lounge area, looking out over the mature communal gardens. The kitchen is fitted with handleless cabinetry and built-in ovens, and sits close to the dining table, so cooking and entertaining happen in the same space.

All three bedrooms are on the upper floor. The main bedroom opens through sliding doors onto a private terrace with views across the communal pool and gardens towards the mountains. The two further bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, with built-in wardrobes, and one has a fitted desk beneath the window that suits a child’s study corner or a home office. The home has two bathrooms and a guest aseo, finished in a modern style, with a bathtub in one and a walk-in shower in the other. A private carport completes the property.

Paraiso Park is surrounded by mature gardens and has a children’s playground and a recently renovated swimming pool area with a bar reserved for residents. With only 32 properties, the atmosphere is quiet and residential, and the shared facilities are well suited to families. El Paraíso is a long-established residential area on Estepona’s New Golden Mile, and a popular choice for year-round family living, with the beach, golf and schools all within a short drive. El Paraíso Golf Club is a three-minute drive and El Campanario Golf & Country House four minutes. Hospiten Estepona is a six-minute drive, Puerto Banús ten minutes, Marbella old town 21 minutes and Málaga Airport 49 minutes (about 71 km).

For families who want to buy property in Estepona without taking on a renovation, Paraiso Park offers a finished home in a small gated community close to the beach and golf. We see it working equally well as a permanent residence or a holiday home on the Costa del Sol.
