Casa Altea

In the heart of Monteran—one of the most prestigious gated communities in the eastern Central Valley—sits this modern home within a luxury condominium, combining functionality, spaciousness, and a privileged location. Set on a 2,838 m² lot with approximately 800 m² of construction, the residence offers a rare level of privacy, even within this exclusive development.

Upon entry, a double-height dining and living area welcomes you with an immediate sense of openness, light, and elegance. Large floor-to-ceiling windows extend toward the beautifully landscaped garden, which features fruit trees and a variety of ornamental plants that provide color and freshness year-round. To the left, the family area includes a cozy TV room connected to three bedrooms. Two secondary bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom with individual showers, while an open desk space upstairs offers a practical corner for study or remote work. At the rear of the home, in a private wing, lies the principal bedroom—a secluded retreat featuring a private vestibule and oriented toward the garden to maximize the peaceful views. The main bathroom stands out with a majestic Italian marble shower and a generous walk-in closet finished with premium materials.

On the right side of the house is the integrated kitchen, of Italian design, with natural stone countertops and outfitted with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances. It also includes a Wolf BBQ station on the outdoor terrace. Supporting spaces include a walk-in pantry, a spacious laundry area, and a service bedroom with an independent full bathroom. For those who love to entertain, the home offers a functional service area that makes hosting effortless and elegant.

Completely independent and located on the second floor are three additional guest bedrooms and a shared bathroom with shower, all enjoying unobstructed views of the mountains and surrounding greenery. This area currently functions as a bright and spacious home office, ideal for remote work in a serene environment. This level also features a fully equipped gym and a private driveway with space to comfortably park up to fifteen vehicles within the property.

The home was designed for a relaxed and family-oriented lifestyle, with a layout that promotes seamless integration with the outdoors and everyday ease. Most of the living spaces—including the primary suite—are located on the ground level, ensuring both comfort and long-term practicality. Social areas boast high ceilings, expansive windows, and a striking glass façade that blends the interior with the lush garden and surrounding landscape, creating a bright and inviting ambiance.

This luxury property in Curridabat, with its contemporary architectural design—rare in Monteran—features clean aesthetics, sloped roofs, defined lines, and refined finishes. Materials were carefully selected, including Spanish marble flooring in social areas, solid Spanish wood flooring in bedrooms, and imported Spanish vanities and countertops in the secondary bathrooms. Doors and sliding windows are by the prestigious U.S. brand La Cantina, and the handcrafted ceiling in the main living room and terraces is made of solid Chilean pine. The entire home is equipped as a smart house, featuring LED lighting, specialized outlets, and a Lutron automation system that enhances the living experience.
