Beautiful Costa Rican Home
This beautiful 4800 sqft, 4 yr old, 2-story home, sits on 1.8 acres in the hills of Heredia with fantastic views of the Central Valley and mountains.

The sunken living room is adjacent to the foyer with gorgeous wood floors, fireplace, big windows for views, sliding glass doors that lead to the large covered and tiled terrace. The big kitchen features an island breakfast bar with cabinets underneath, granite counter tops, lovely wood cabinets (lots of them), built-in electric cook-top, wall oven, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher and a horseshoe shaped banquette with upholstered seating. Sliding glass doors provide access to the terrace. One of the bedrooms and full bath is just across from the kitchen. The dining room is huge with wood floors, big windows, and sliding glass doors that lead to the terrace and the walkway to the Rancho/pool area. You reach the second floor using the graceful wide wood staircase and banisters. At the top of the stairs is a big Family/TV room with wood floors and a large wet bar. Big windows and a covered balcony offer great views of the mountains and valley. There is a full guest bath just off this area which one of the bedrooms also uses (has its own private entrance).
