Casa Alebrije – Single-Level Living with Private Pool and Garden in Cerro Alto

Located within one of the most exclusive communities in western San José, Casa Alebrije is a single-level residence that blends spaciousness, functionality, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Its layout is designed for effortless living, surrounded by a private garden and centered around a pool that naturally becomes the home’s social focal point.

A central vestibule divides the home into two well-defined wings. On the social side, a generously sized main living room with a fireplace and wood flooring opens through floor-to-ceiling windows toward the pool and garden, creating a warm yet expansive atmosphere. Across from it, a more intimate secondary space offers flexibility as a TV room, formal dining area, reading lounge, or a private sitting room, enhanced by sliding wood and glass doors.

The covered terrace is spacious and thoughtfully designed to accommodate both an outdoor dining area and an additional lounge. Large openings connect seamlessly to the pool area, which features access points from two sides, encouraging natural indoor-outdoor living. The garden wraps around the home, incorporating ornamental plants and fruit trees that add both privacy and a sense of tranquility.

The kitchen has been remodeled with clean, contemporary cabinetry in white tones contrasted by darker countertops. It offers dual access, abundant natural light, and is fully equipped with built-in appliances, including cooktop, extractor, ovens, dishwasher, and two side-by-side refrigerator/freezer units.

This wing also includes a private office with built-in desk and natural light, a guest bathroom, and a spacious multipurpose room that can easily function as a TV lounge, playroom, gym, or creative studio, with sliding doors opening directly to the garden.

On the opposite side of Casa Alebrije lies the private bedroom wing, featuring four bedrooms in total. Two secondary bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with double vanity and walk-in closets, while a third secondary bedroom includes its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The primary suite enjoys direct access to the garden and features a comfortable layout with double vanity, separate shower and toilet areas. All bedrooms are equipped with mini-split air conditioning units and ceiling fans.

Additional features include a service bedroom with full bathroom, laundry area with internal drying patio, attic space above the garage, storage rooms, covered parking for two vehicles, and additional driveway parking.

Cerro Alto is a premier gated community offering 24/7 security and a well-established residential environment. Amenities include tennis courts, two clubhouses, lap pool and recreational pool, gym, walking trails, playgrounds, and a soccer field. Its location provides quick access to key destinations such as Multiplaza Escazú, Distrito 4, Plaza Roble, Avenida Escazú, Hospital CIMA, and top international schools including West College, Mount View School, Saint Mary School, Blue Valley School, and Lighthouse International School.

Casa Alebrije is ideal for those seeking the comfort of single-level living, generous spaces, and a secure, well-connected environment, without compromising on privacy or quality of life.
