Casa El Encanto

Casa El Encanto
Perched atop a hill with generous ocean, mountain and jungle views, Casa El Encanto is a 2 story, 4 bedroom home with a 2 car garage suitable for the whole family.

Ample parking is the first indication this is a welcoming property. Enter the home through a lovely wooden door into a central hallway where 3 bedrooms and one bathroom branch off in a uniquely angled manner. Two bedrooms feature large clothes closets, the third room could become a home office, a home gym, a nursery. At the end of the center, hall is a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the ocean. A laundry room has access to the garage and there is a walk-out deck on this level. Throughout the home, the floors are tiled.

Walk up two short flights of steps with large windows that let in lots of natural light and you arrive at the grand open concept living, dining, kitchen area featuring two walls of floor to ceiling windows and a balcony on one and a half sides of the house, oriented toward the ocean and jungle views.

The kitchen is huge, features a peninsula counter where friends and family can hang out on stools and keep the cook company. It is large enough for a full eight-seat dining table.

While the balcony stretches the length of the home, one has plenty of area below to expand it outward and create a full deck – even add a pool – and fully exploit the indoor/outdoor experience oft desired for a coastal Costa Rican property. There’s great potential to bring your own sensibility and lifestyle to this home as it has good bones and plenty of space.

Past a guest bathroom you come to a large master bedroom, also on this upper level, complete with an en suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and its own wrap around balcony on three sides. The views in the bedroom encompass ocean and mountain views. An ocean breeze wafts year round so one rarely needs to use the AC unit in the room. From the bed you can enjoy the monkeys as they make their way along the balcony railings; they have adapted the home to be part of their biological corridor!

In fact from this second floor there are many regular animal sightings such as toucans, macaws, even sloths. And of course monkeys. It brings all the best things about living in the area to your doorstep.
