H184 3-story 4BR 3BA lakeview labor of love on 2.1 acres - $385,000
Working periodically over the past six years with competence, ingenuity, and artistry, a couple from a northern State has built a spacious home on a hilltop plateau, where the unparalleled beauty of the Lake Arenal region can be enjoyed in all its fascination. Centered on a three-story, concrete-clad circular stairway, the home's large rooms and high ceilings exemplify spaciousness while retaining a feeling of domestic warmth through the rich colors and beautiful custom hardwoods. The home is sited at the edge of a large, level, nicely landscaped lot so that the entrance to the home is on the second story and the lowest of the three stories is below the level of the lot. In this lowest level are 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchenette, and the two-car garage. The master suite is on the second or main floor along with 1 and 1/2 bathrooms, the kitchen and various living areas. The smaller tower floor has a multi-purpose and viewing room, which currently also has use as an office. Aslo on the large mostly level property is a small well-constructed caretaker's house. From this hilltop site overlooking the villages of San Luis, El Roble, and Tronadora, it is just 10 minutes to Tilaran, the governmental and commercial center of the region. The international airport at Liberia is a little over an hour away.
