The bedrooms are generous and bright, with garden views, and the primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. While the home is fully livable in its current condition, it also represents an excellent opportunity to remodel and personalize the spaces to the buyer’s taste, whether through modernizing finishes or expanding the construction area, thanks to the generous size of the lot. The property sits on a completely flat plot surrounded by consolidated vegetation, providing natural privacy, shade throughout the day, and a fresh microclimate that is hard to find in newer developments. The garden, with mature trees, palm species, and ornamental plants, not only enhances the ambiance but also offers enough space to build a swimming pool, BBQ rancho, studio, workshop, or guest house. The entire layout is designed for comfortable, single-level living, making it ideal for seniors, families with young children, or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. Parking is ample, with a covered garage and additional space for visitors. This home is located in one of the most established sectors of Hacienda Los Reyes, a gated community with controlled access, wide tree-lined streets, a golf course, and a country club that includes a swimming pool, tennis courts, restaurant, gym, and an active social scene. Its location in La Guácima, Alajuela, offers quick access to Route 27 and direct connection to Santa Ana, Escazú, the international airport, and the Pacific coast. It is also close to international schools, supermarkets, healthcare services, and restaurants. In a market where new properties often mean smaller lots, limited vegetation, and higher building costs, this home stands out as a solid option for both living and investment. It offers authentic charm, the benefit of a mature garden, and the flexibility to adapt the space without losing its essence. Whether as a permanent residence, retirement home, second property, or investment opportunity, this house delivers what matters most: space, location, natural surroundings, and strong mid-to-long-term value potential.
