| Full Description: Lomas de Ayarco Sur (Curridabat); east-side San José - A lovely, 215-m2 (2,300-ft2) home with an interesting design and nice backyard in an upscale, desirable area close to shopping, schools, etc. The two-story home has three bedrooms; a large, separate office (with independent entrance and small bath with shower); 2.5 baths (not including the office bath); large living/dining area (with high wooden ceiling) that opens (with double door) to a covered terrace; nice kitchen with breakfast area; maid's room with bath; etc. The master bedroom is a good size (plenty of room for a king bed), with its own bath (with tub) and view to the park across the road. The other two bedrooms (one medium-sized; the other small) share a bath (with shower). All of the bedrooms are located upstairs, along with a small central sitting area. But the downstairs office could also be used as a bedroom, if desired.
The house has an interesting design, built on an angle to the lot, allowing for lots of light, with lots of interesting angles and curves. The design also allows for a small front yard and good-sized backyard on the 409-m2 lot. The front and back yards are full of lush tropical vegetation. Plus, behind the property is a small river, with large trees along its bank, giving the feeling that you're in the middle of the forest, yet you are located very close to everything. The property is completely walled/fenced for good security. Plus, the house is located within a neighborhood with restricted access (barriers at the entrances) and a neighborhood guard.
The area is fantastic! The Lomas de Ayarco Sur neighborhood was one of the first upscale neighborhoods on the east side of San Jose. Thirteen embassies and ambassadors' residences are still dotted throughout the neighborhood. A nice park is located 1/2 block away, with playground (swings, slide, etc.) and a large open area for sporting activities. There are numerous private schools in the area, as well as a swimming pool and tennis court (by membership). The house is located close to a Hipermas supermarket (like a Super Wal-Mart; and now owned by Wal-Mart), and not far from two malls, lots of restaurants, etc. And the climate is fantastic, with average day-time temperatures in the los 70's F (about 22º C) year-round...never needing heat or air-conditioning.
