#0160 Trejos Montealegre

Just a short distance from an International mall and fine dining, this customized, artistically unique home has a spectacular view of the Central Valley from the north side. It sits at the end of a quiet road off a main artery where a few new country homes are under construction, scattered through an old-fashion farm community. Heredia is known for its beauty, evergreen scenery, excellent climate and convenience. From the street, the paved driveway leads to a two car garage that shared the same details of wood ceiling beams and handmade floor tiles.

The entrance hall is exquisitely tiled with French doors leading to the lower paved patio/outdoor terrace. It also features a visitors powder room. Up a few stairs the wood beamed ceilings, fireplace, wet bar, and repetitive tile work deserves special attention to detail.

A kitchen counter of hand-painted tiles connects to the living/dining room area, also with French doors leading to an higher second outdoor patio and spacious garden. Plentiful windows allow appreciation of the same panoramic view along with a few distant rooftops. Off the charming kitchen is the equipped laundry room with a door to a small enclosed back patio that provides a clothes drying area and a separte entrance to a maid's room with bath.

Only a few stairs higher is another sitting area with ceiling to floor windows and two bedrooms that share a bathroom to the left or the entrance side of the house. The corner bedroom features large windows on two walls permitting an overview of the lovely landscaped garden below and flickering city lights at night.

The master bedroom is to the right of the foyer and includes an office nook with view, plus a master bath with hand-tiled bathtub and shower.

The entire garden is fenced, landscaped and includes toward the back of the property a workshop with porch under roof, electricity and washing facilities. With minimal expense, this could be converted to a guest cottage. Also found on the property is a dog kennel and large birdcage.
