About This Home
As of March 2019Costa Rica meets Laguna Beach! This tropical paradise includes a 4 bedroom residence composed of 3 levels. An extensive remodel of the home was completed in 2018 including new hardwood flooring throughout, upgrades to kitchen, 2 of 3 new bathrooms, new windows, all new hardscape and landscaping and a new roof. The main entry level, which is street level, is comprised of the main living space. The kitchen, with top of the line appliances, is at the heart of the home with its central location to all the main living spaces of the residence. This open floor plan has the family room open to the kitchen. Just down the hall from the family room are 2 main floor bedrooms, direct access to the garage and a ¾ bath. A Palladian window in the formal dining room reveals the tropical and expansive back yard. The master suite resides on the entire upper floor and an abundance of windows fills the room with natural light and the beauty of Laguna. Attached to the master is a separate office. On the lower level, the living room is not only spacious but also grand with vaulted wood beam ceilings which can be found throughout the home. Also on this this level is gorgeous newly refaced limestone fireplace, a remodeled bath and a guest bedroom. The deck leads to the highlight of this home, the back yard. A natural babbling brook runs through it with a newly rebuilt foot bridge and a new stairs down to the creek bed. Beyond that you'll find terraced gardens with new retaining blocks on all sides.
