Property Description: The house is in a very nice neighborhood in the hills above Heredia. A brand new subdivision with lovely facilities is directly adjacent. The foundations of the house are excellent. The ranch style floors and walls are made of prestressed concrete, the roof is metal and is quite melodious during the wet season. The gardens provide a private space and are inexpensive to maintain with local labor. Our teenage son found enough room to place soccer with his friends. Views from various windows are nothing less than spectacular. The mother-in-law apartment has been a godsend when guests arrive. It also has the potential to be a rental unit should you wish. It is small, 900 sq ft but is complete with a kitchen area, bath and private bedroom upstairs. The kitchen is completely modern with a dishwasher, two stoves, gas and electric, an oven, hand crafted cupboards and a breakfast nook that is a center of activity in our lives. There is nothing like reaching out the window of the nook for fresh mint to make a cup of tea in the morning while your spouse is cooking breakfast. A laundry room off the kitchen is very convenient. The master suite is a home unto itself with 1000 sq ft of bedroom, two large walk-in closets (a renter turned one into a bedroom) and a lovely bathroom with natural illumination through large frosted windows, shower, over-sized tub and dressing space with two sinks. Craftsmanship throughout is top class and the plumbing works well. The bed rooms are large with the three children's rooms centered around a remodeled bathroom with tile throughout and hand crafted storage and mirror. The front of the house is spectacular, the entrance is a typical open beam and tile portico with good exterior lighting. When you open the door the natural light, high ceilings and indoor garden with waterfall immediately demand your attention. Easy to maintain plants and a self watering system are key elements of this unique detail. The living room is on two levels with fireplace and a television space. The dining room is over-sized and opens naturally on the garden, living room and kitchen, forming an open salon effect. On the other side of the dining space is a large office with two walls of floor to ceiling windows. Sitting in this space writing to you now is a luxury I could not imagine anywhere else.
