H161 Expert 3BR 2BR rebuild/expansion on large lot in Sabalito - $150,000 |
Experienced North American owners/bulders have done thoughtful and clever work to make a comfortable high-quality residence in the pretty village of Sabalito. The owners have added a master suite and have completely redone the interior of the existing structure. The new roof now covers 1,530 square feet of space designed for comfort, security and balmy indoor/outdoor living. High above the northwest "corner" of Lake Arenal, the house sits behind mature landscaping next to the paved Tierras Morenas road, which takes one in 20 minutes to Tilaran. In contrast, behind the house there's a vista of open countryside, hills covered with pasture and forest. The security features, including wrought-iron window and door shields, an excellent alarm system, and 6-foot-high fencing all around help make ths home a good choice for owners who live here year round or only on a vacation schedule. For part-year residents, the home could bring rental income, especially likely in this area where windsurfers congregate in the winter months. |
