More about this property
Located in the heart of the exclusive Monteran condominium on the east side of San Jose, this unique luxury estate boasts a sophisticated yet, timeless design, on one of the most coveted double lots in the community. Monteran is known for its elegance, top-tier infrastructure, and world-class amenities, making it one of the most exclusive residential communities in Costa Rica.
The community boasts an executive golf course, tennis courts, and a resort-like clubhouse with a recreational and lap pool., a fully equipped gym, social areas, as well as hiking trails and bike paths. Moreover, as the surrounding areas of Granadilla, Curridabat, and other eastern suburbs have experienced tremendous growth over the past few years, the area offers an abundance of entertainment just minutes away including shopping, international restaurants, private schools, hospitals, and more. Unlike most residential communities in the Central Valley, Monteran’s average lot size is half an acre, creating an unparalleled luxury and privacy atmosphere.
While Monteran is full of well appointed, luxury homes, this particular residence is the crown jewel. Located just past the entrance, enabling both convenient access and the utmost security, the current owners acquired both the home and the adjacent lot to provide over one acre (5107 m2) of pristine serenity within the community. The home was acquired in mid 2020 and underwent a complete remodel of the interior, as the structure, built by Proycon, is second to none. As you drive into the community, it is impossible to ignore the classic Spanish colonial inspired residence, which is cleverly accented with earth tones and immaculate gardens with a fairy tale curb appeal. The home sprawls out almost exclusively on one level, offering a cathedral, two story ceilings at the entrance, and a living area, resulting in a majestic entrance. As you enter the residence, the vaulted white brick ceiling and the wood beams accent the formal and informal living rooms, offering unique entertainment areas with the fireplace, and retractable bar as the centerpieces. While separated by archways, there is an open flow into the dining room, bordered by wooden columns on one side, a stained glass backdrop, and custom, built in hardwood cabinetry. Just off the dining room, you will find the expansive kitchen, which is a chef's and family’s dream. The kitchen offers a breakfast area, bar top, extensive countertop space, state of the art appliances (including a 6 stove top burner and professional hood), and natural lighting with a vaulted skylight.
The rear of the social areas are topped off with a solarium, and entertainment room which is the perfect spot for entertaining family and friends. This space spills out onto the backyard, which is one of the largest private areas within Monteran with over one acre of green space.
As you leave the social areas of the residence, you will find an elegant home office, ideal for today’s work from home professionals, including a built in stone fireplace, accented wood ceilings, and built in credenza and shelving. To the left of the hallway, there are two en suite bedrooms each with private bathrooms….In your private showing, ask the agent to show you the secret loft….. Separating the bedrooms is a large family/tv room with a stunning vaulted, brick ceiling and polished hardwood floors. Upon entering the primary suite, the fortunate new owners will be welcomed to their own oasis. The polished hardwood floor is contrasted by the high ceilings, and custom lattice headboard. To the rear of the suite, there is a comfortable seating area, a small gym overlooking the yard, and then, the spa inspired bathroom boasting dual vanity, custom porcelain floors, walk in shower, as well as a sunroom with Jacuzzi, and sauna.
While all of the social and private areas of the home are on one level, just off the entrance, you can sneak upstairs to enjoy a private screening or your favorite team, in this custom home theater with 7 lounge seats, surround sound, and a private bathroom.
This estate home is truly one of a kind, and a must see for the discerning buyer looking for the finest estate in Monteran.
