H218 Lakeview 2BR furnished traditional home in Nuevo Arenal - $180k |
In a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance of Nuevo Arenal's commercial center, here is a ready-to-move-in furnished Tico-style home which would become a tropical dream home with modest remodeling and landscaping. It already has a wide lake view and a large back lawn like a raw canvas on which you can paint your dream lakeview leisure environment with use of Costa Rica's wealth of fast-growing exotic flowering plants and trees. Costa Rican homes are customarily oriented to the street, not to the lake view which many of them have. Such is the case here: The patio is in front and glassed in for a comfortable space in which to relax and view the passing parade or what little there is along the quiet street and sidewalk. The back of the house, as here, is usually the side on which to put laundry and storage facilities. Rearrange those, make larger door and window openings in the back wall, extend a roofed patio, exercize your green thumb and in very little time you will have a thoroughly enjoyable tropical oasis. |

From the large level back yard, the terrain drops off sharply, leaving a fine view of Lake Arenal, the mountains, and the lakeside villages of San Luis and Tronadora. Some may find the price high for a home of this size, but certain upgrades and especially the lake view teamed with its convenient location close to the town center and the supermarket, banks,restaurants and hotspots favored by the large Gringo community add greatly to this solid 2BR 1BA home's value. Also, the lot provides substantial space for additional construction. |

Upgrades on this Tico-style home include the glassed-in porch, the tall fence with electric gate, and the large carport. |
The two-bedroom, one-bath home has a fairly large living room and comfortable furniture in pleasant colors. |
|
|
The kitchen is useful and well-lit, ready for upgrading with some some Costa Rica's handsome custom hardwood cabinetry. |
Modest reconstruction and landscaping would give the back of the house a highly pleasurable lakeview oasis. |
