At the very end of a quiet private community in Barrio Jesús, Atenas, this fully remodeled 450 m² home sits on 7,000 m² of mature tropical gardens in one of the area’s cooler, breezier microclimates. It is private, peaceful and move-in ready, with room to garden, entertain and let the dogs run.

Inside

The heart of the home is a large open great room under vaulted ceilings. Light porcelain tile runs throughout, and glass doors on several sides open to the gardens. The living and dining areas flow into a chef’s kitchen with:

• A large quartz-topped island with a dramatic stone-look base and bar seating


• A professional-style gas range with stainless hood


• A built-in wall oven and side-by-side refrigerator


• Rich red cabinetry, open display shelving and a walk-in pantry

Past the great room, an expansive indoor-outdoor living space has a second island, a BBQ area and floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the garden.

Bedrooms and baths

The primary suite has space for a full sitting area, garden-facing windows and a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Its spa-style ensuite features:

• A natural stone walk-in shower with a built-in stone bench


• Stone flooring


• A double vanity with vessel sinks


• Clerestory windows that bring in light and greenery

Two more bedrooms share a full bath with a quartz vanity and tub/shower. A guest powder room completes the layout.

Outside

The grounds are a true tropical garden, with palms, ornamental plants and a wide variety of fruit trees. A sparkling tiled pool sits in front of the home. The property is fully perimeter-enclosed, which is ideal for pets.

Utilities and practicalities

• Two water sources: the community well plus ASADA (neighborhood association) water


• Liberty internet service, ready for remote work


• End-of-road location in a private community for privacy and low traffic


• Cooler Barrio Jesús climate, minutes from Atenas center and Highway 27, with easy access to SJO airport, Escazú and the Pacific beaches

This is the Costa Rica lifestyle many buyers are looking for: space, privacy, fruit from your own trees and a home that’s already done.
