Mesmerising views...up on the top of the hill above the coast of Marbella East. Presenting a lovely 3 bedroom duplex apartment which is new to the market and offers the opportunity to live in the stunning natural landscape of la Mairena. The duplex penthouse home has one of the best positions within what is a large and popular residential complex. Built on the undulating hillsides of upper Elviria, the community uses authentic Andalusian architecture to create a beautiful environment comprising of pretty paved walkways, Moorish-style water features and stunning Mediterranean gardens. The community is wonderful for those who wish to benefit from walking within the coasts natural landscape, with incredible views down through the valley of la Cala de Mijas to the sea and the impressive mountains leading all the way up the coast as far as Sierra Nevada. In the winter the snow on the peaks of the famous ski resort can be seen from the property. The 3 bedroom la Mairena apartment is accessed from a large private underground parking space in the garage below the building. Next to this there is also a spacious storeroom. Take the elevator up 2 floors and you arrive at the front door of this upper Elviria home. With the front door opening to reveal the living room with double-height ceiling, the space and light from which this property benefits is wonderful. To the right of the front door is the large enclosed and brand newly-fitted kitchen which has been elegantly updated with entirely new storage units, with silestone countertops, clean new wall tiles and super-functional lighting system showing and clean bright work surfaces. The kitchen benefits from a spacious utility room at the rear of the apartment, which has windows for natural light and ventilation. Heading through the open plan dining and living room, the double-height ceiling allows for an attractive staircase which leads to the upper level where a gorgeous master bedroom with pitched wooden roof, a generous dressing room area and a lovely high-quality bathroom with walk-in shower, large bath-tub and wash basin, and a separation between the main bathroom and the lavatory area. The pitched rooves on this level feature built in sky-light windows which bathe the rooms in daylight and give comfort of fresh air. The master bedroom benefits from privacy and also it's own gorgeous terrace that faces eastwards with awesome views of the Mijas mountains. Excellent for watching the morning sunrise. Downstairs the living room is furnished around a lovely open fireplace which is functioning and a totally gorgeous feature for the cooler winter evenings. Head out to the wide and generous terrace and here you find your sanctuary. Excellent orientation so that there is not too much heat in the summer. The terrace is set with the original terracotta tiles, and built-in planters all around. A generous seating area is set on the left-hand side and a moveable sun shade is fitted to allow for more comfort depending on the weather. On the right side of this terrace is an outdoor dining area with a large table to seat 6 people. Plenty of room for family and entertaining guests. Heading back inside from here is the third bedroom, obviously benefitting very much from it's own terrace access, and with a pull-out sofa bed and fitted wardrobes. Between this and the second bedroom is the second bathroom. Again, with a walk-in shower and double wash basin formation. The second bedroom is on the other side of the la Mairena apartment. Again with fitted wardrobes and access to it's now west-facing terrace. This area is currently large enough for sun chairs and a table, however it is worth noting that the community willl allow the expansion off this terrace area by about 6 square meters, and so a significant private sun-lounger area could be easily created. The stylish furniture that is within this property is all new and from Bo-Concept, Ethnicraft and Kave. There are 2 pools within this part of El Soto, known as Phase 2A. the closest is just a few steps from the building entrance and set on an elevated part of the garden. This is convenient for bathing, but also great because there is no noise from the pool in the property. The community fees for this Upper Elviria home include the use of the El Soto Clubhouse and it's facilities by the family. This is not only restricted to owners but open to all. El Soto has its own nine hole golf course, gym, sauna, spa, tennis courts, paddle tennis, boules pitch and children’s play area. Certainly more than enough to entertain the whole family. The restaurant serves a wonderful selection of food and drink day and night at a high quality with regularly themed event nights, that you will not want to miss. .
