H105 Nearly new 4BR 2BA home in pretty setting close to Tilaran - $200,000 |
| Completed last year by a builder/owner whose wife is an English-speaking doctor, this house has features not usual to Tico houses but expected by North American buyers. First, its 4 bedrooms are larger than is customary in typical Costa Rican homes and there is not only a nice second bathroom but a large bathtub as well as shower in the master bathroom, which also has a walk-in closet. The common areas - kitchen, dining, and living room - are large with plenty of natural light and views that are of pastured and forested hills despite the closeness to Tilaran. In addition, there is a small office and a fairly large laundry room. The house-wide patio looks out on a large front lawn and is protected from inclement weather with a large glass panel on the eastern end that looks toward Tilaran. The owners, with medium-range plans to move to another town, are not highly motivated to sell at this time and so will not be receptive to "lowball" offers. They enjoy their new home, which is just a couple of minutes from the doctor's office. (They also have for sale two adjoining 1000-square-meter lots. See L57.) |
