Property Description: Pinares/Lomas de Ayarco Norte (Curridabat Area; east-side San José) - This is a fantastic, SINGLE-LEVEL, 7,700 ft2 (715-m2) home on 1/3 acre (1,224 m2) in a wonderful, upscale neighborhood...with an ex-President of the country for a neighbor! The house is ideal for entertaining, socializing or just family fun, with multiple social areas and game rooms. The house is separated into different areas:
1) The social area, with an informal dining area, a huge living/social room with bar, fireplace, etc.; another huge room with built-in seating for games, entertaining, etc.; a smaller room with pool table, etc. The kitchen (with breakfast area), large laundry area and maid's room (with bath) are also located in that general area.
2) The formal living/dining area, with a large formal dining area opening to the patio, with a smaller living room to one side, opening to a central area that leads to a large, formal office (with sitting area).
3) The bedroom wing, with the master bedroom (with walk-in closet, bath with Jacuzzi tub, and workout area), and two smaller bedrooms that share a bath.
Those three areas wrap around a nice patio, with covered area with ping-pong table to one side and a nice sitting/dining area to another side. Off of that area is also a small office/storeroom.
The 1/3 acre (1,224 m2) property allows for a large front yard with Jacuzzi in the central area. There is plenty of room to build a swimming pool, if desired. To one side of the front yard is a separate office building (or could be gym, exhibit room, guest house, etc.). In another structure is a sauna and bath, as well as guard house (currently not used).
The original part of the house is about 20 years old, but very expansions were added over the years. The house has high ceilings throughout, with lots of light in the social areas. With just minimal work, the formal office could be made into a fourth bedroom. The house has a sophisticated alarm system (but, in that area, you really don't need it).
It's a wonderful residence but would also be great for offices, Embassy/Ambassador's residence, etc. It's located in a fantastic upscale neighborhood, with lovely homes, Ambassador's residences, and even an ex-President of the country next door! It has quick and easy access to the highway, is within walking distance of a HiperMas/Wal-Mart, and is close to good shopping, malls, restaurants, private schools, etc. The climate is excellent, with average daytime temperatures in the low to mid-70's F... YEAR-ROUND! You never need heat or air-conditioning! It's a fantastic place!!
