House in Atenas, Alajuela[CR]

400051521190 - Modern Hilltop Retreat with 300° Pacific & Central Valley Views, Infinity Pool & Guest Home - Perched on a 6,500 m² hilltop, this 480 m² modern home takes in close to 300 degrees of open sky: the Pacific Ocean and its sunsets to the west, the lights of San José across the valley, and green mountain ridgelines all around. Few homes in the area give you the coast and the capital from the same terrace.The architecture is clean, white, and sculptural, with stepped volumes, deep overhangs, and timber outriggers that cast changing shadows through the day. Inside, it shifts to warm, modern-rustic living: polished concrete floors, exposed timber ceiling beams, 3-meter ceilings, and hardwood louvered doors that fold fully open to bring the breeze and the view indoors.The main level is open-plan, with a sunken built-in lounge, a dining area framed by big view windows, and a kitchen of concrete countertops and natural wood cabinetry with views on two sides. Out front, a wide covered terrace runs the length of the house and opens onto an infinity-edge pool that seems to pour straight into the sunset.Upstairs, all four bedrooms have their own access to private terraces with mountain or valley views. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a sliding barn door, and its own bath. The bathrooms continue the handcrafted look with poured-concrete vanities, glass-block walk-in showers, and wood detailing. Above it all, a large rooftop terrace offers the property’s best 360-style vantage point, built for sunset drinks and stargazing.A separate 110 m² guest home gives family, visitors, or a caretaker their own space, or can generate rental income.The home can be negotiated furnished, making for a smooth, move-in-ready transition.Highlights480 m² main home | 4 bedrooms | 3.5 bathrooms110 m² separate guest home6,500 m² hilltop lot with lawns and mature treesApprox. 300° panoramic views: Pacific Ocean, San José, and the mountains3-meter ceilings, exposed timber beams, polished concrete floorsInfinity-edge pool facing the Pacific sunsetLong covered terrace for outdoor dining and entertainingPrivate terraces off the bedrooms plus a large rooftop terraceConcrete-and-wood kitchen; glass-block showers; folding louvered wood doorsCan be negotiated furnished
