This a delightfully sunny, comfortable house for a small family or couple looking for minimal maintenance, close to town so no need of a car, yet quiet and private.  If you are looking for a small investment house that you could rent out, this would work quite since many expats do not want a car.

A small craftsman’s house, well built with beautiful lines, a wall of natural light, and architectural details that are unusual for many homes in Costa Rica.  Made almost entirely of beautiful local hardwoods on the inside, the home is divided into 2 1/2 floors.  The top floor has 3 nice sized Bedrooms and a shared bathroom.  The main floor has an open concept living area that maximizes in the unique space including a small kitchen with breakfast bar, nice sized living room, and rays of gorgeous natural light pouring in through the french windowed wall.  There is also a nicely appointed entry and small outside deck leading into this main living area.  The 1/2 floor is a car port and a garage that also enters into the home, a wash room with mop sinks and a laundry room complete with new W/D.

The house is located in a quiet tico neighborhood at the end of a short cul de sac, is very private yet is walking distance from the town of San Ramon.  The street is well maintained and once outside the community entrance, leads directly to the main highway in about a km.  Head the other direction and you are in town in just a few blocks.  It is very quiet and private despite its central location.

To be brought up to American standards, there is some work that could be done – from finishing some of the renovation, to updating wiring through the home and adding a hot water tank.  Very simple and quick updates that all in all, would cost maybe $5000 to complete.  The lot next door is also available for purchase if someone wanted to expand, possibly adding a large outdoor living area with a nice backyard, or enclosing it all just for a private compound.  This house is priced to sell – is listed at tico prices, and will NOT last long.

The home is financed through one of the public banks here in Costa Rica with the option to take over the loan.  For expats, however, this can be difficult and time consuming.
