Altamonte (first phase), Curridabat - This charming house is located in one of the most desired residential neighborhoods on the east side of San Jose: Altamonte (first phase). Situated on a corner lot, the beautiful home has great views from either of two balconies, with lovely views to the mountains. The 2,900-ft2 (272-m2) home is situated on a lot of 290 m2 (3,100 ft2). The house is not located within the gated community of Altamonte, but is located right at the entrance (within site of the guard house). So that, combined with a neighborhood guard that is almost right in front of the house, gives excellent security.
The house has three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a large office and a beautiful terrace and backyard. On the first floor of the house you will find the office, nice living room with fireplace, formal dining room, spacious kitchen with breakfast area, nice maid’s quarters (could be used as a workshop or another office), guest bath, etc. With windows on three sides of the house, it receives lots of light and good ventilation. The dining room opens to a gorgeous, covered, tiled terrace (with fountain), extending onto the garden area (with nice tropical plants), which is a very peaceful, serene area where you’ll like spend much of your time. The garden extends to the side and a portion of the front of the house.
The second floor you will find the three bedrooms, including two nice-sized bedrooms that share a bath, and the master bedroom with its own large bath (with tub) and walk-in closet. The master bedroom opens to a large balcony with lovely views to the mountains. This is a wonderful area to read, relax or exercise. The second bedroom has its own small balcony to the front of the house (also with nice views to the mountains), solid wood closet, and direct access to the shared bath.
This unique property was designed and built by a renowned Italian architect, built for himself. Being for himself, he built the home extremely well, with poured concrete (not block), extra-solid footings, etc., along with excellent finishings, including fine wood throughout, high-quality doors and window frames, etc. The quality is outstanding! This is one of the best-built homes you will find!
As if that wasn’t enough, the house comes completely furnished with quality furniture, including the kitchen appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, etc.), leather sofas/chairs, table of precious wood, a mahogany cabinet, etc. That’s a wonderful bonus, especially for new-comers who don’t want to ship their furniture from abroad (very costly).
The location is excellent, away from the traffic and noise, yet very close to shopping, schools, etc. And the climate is excellent (low 70's F year-round). Tremendous bargain at only US$245,000.
