House in Atenas, Alajuela[CR]

400051521195 - Mountain-View Contemporary Home with Pool & Jacuzzi in Las Rocas, Atenas - The approach sets the tone. Inside the gated community of Las Rocas, less than ten minutes from downtown Atenas, a wide herringbone paver driveway curves down along a handcrafted river-stone retaining wall lined with young palms. The mountains are already in view before you reach the door. Then the home appears: a single-level contemporary design in white stucco and pale stacked stone, under a clean-lined metal roof with warm wood-lined eaves. A covered carport tucks against the hillside. In front, a manicured lawn surrounds a round river-rock garden bed planted with crotons and ixora.Follow the walkway around the side of the house and the land opens up. A wide covered terrace runs along the back of the home under a wood ceiling with dark steel beams and stone-clad columns. Just beyond it is the pool, finished in deep blue-green tile, with a raised half-moon Jacuzzi that spills into it. Past a border of tall grasses, layers of green mountains and valleys stretch to the horizon. A separate sun terrace offers an open-air spot to soak up the warmth of Atenas’ famous climate.Step inside through the oversized sliding glass wall, which runs on concealed tracks so the floor stays seamless from inside to out. The great room rises to a vaulted wood ceiling crossed by steel beams, with sleek ceiling fans and air conditioning. The living and dining areas share one open space that frames the pool and mountains like a living painting.The kitchen is the centerpiece of the home. Floor-to-ceiling walnut-tone cabinetry and crisp white uppers wrap the room beneath a lowered wood ceiling with recessed lighting. Gray stone countertops and a full-height stone backsplash glow under the cabinet lights. A large island, wrapped in wood and finished with waterfall stone ends and a second prep sink, invites everyone to gather. Stainless steel appliances include a range hood and stacked wall ovens. A wide window over the main sink looks out onto the river-stone wall and tropical greenery, and a pantry with open shelving sits just off the kitchen. Nearby, a guest powder room makes a bold statement with a matte-black vessel sink, a matching wall-hung toilet, a floating wood vanity and a warm backlit mirror.A wood-ceilinged hallway leads to the private wing. All three bedrooms feature wood ceilings, ceiling fans, air conditioning and custom built-in wood wardrobes. Each opens through sliding glass doors to the terrace, the lawn and the mountain views beyond.The primary suite adds a generous walk-in closet lined with floor-to-ceiling wood shelving, drawers and hanging space. It flows into a spa-like bathroom under a wood ceiling, with two separate vanities facing each other, each with its own backlit LED mirror. A walk-in glass shower is set against a dramatic tropical-leaf feature wall. A wall-hung toilet keeps the look clean and modern.Each of the other bedrooms has its own full bathroom, finished with textured leaf-relief tile, floating wood vanities with quartz counters, illuminated mirrors and frameless glass showers.
