Welcome home to the most well-appointed and best-located 2-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home in Las Catalinas!
Welcome home to the most well-appointed and best-located 2-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home in Las Catalinas! The stunning Casa Malaquita was custom-created for comfort and convenience. This home is located on one level (no steps inside) and features a superb open layout that opens beautifully on two sides—through 3 sets of gorgeous 8ft hand-crafted doors—to not one, but two outdoor terraces, each overlooking lovely plazas with fountains. You cannot beat this home’s layout and location! Located just steps away from the beach, the amazing beach club, and area restaurants, the light and bright Casa Malaquita has a central kitchen, dining, and living area, which features a ceiling with substantial hardwood beams and a floor of beautiful Coralina stone. The kitchen has a unique oversized island with seating for 6, perfect for dining, entertaining, or even working from home. The kitchen also features poured micro-concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, eye-catching pendant lighting, and a striking backsplash of beautiful turquoise green tiles similar in color to the precious green stone, from which Casa Malaquita derives its name. This inviting space opens beautifully into the living area, complete with sophisticated chairs wrapped in designer fabric, a sleeper sofa, and a flat-screen TV with rich wood trimming. This space, in turn, leads out through open doors to the first covered terrace, complete with formal outdoor dining for 6, ceiling fans, and serene views of the plaza and fountain. The other side of this amazing space opens to a more casual yet private terrace, complete with flowering bougainvillea plants, a grill, outdoor dining for four, beautiful elevated views of the second plaza, and a lovely splash pool. The principal bedroom is a show stopper, with a king-sized bed with a custom-made headboard and nightstands, and with extra storage below; a wall of two-toned cabinets that double as a workspace and entertainment center; an en-suite bathroom with broken Coralina stone for that old-world charm; and two sets of 8-foot doors that open back out to the large private terrace with seating area and small garden framed by almond trees. The second bedroom with a king-sized or two twin beds also has ample light, custom-made headboards, its own full bathroom just across the hall, and those same beautiful doors leading out to the terrace. Other features of this home include the indoor entry shower lined with floor-to-ceiling Coralina stone, adorned with his and her bathrobes for rinsing off after a wonderful day at the beach, an indoor full-size stackable washer and dryer, and a small outdoor bodega. Another striking feature of this home is its central location, yet it still offers a sense of privacy. The residence is just steps away from the formal community entrance, as well as the high-end grocery store, Copper and Stone, where you’ll find all your grocery needs, a deli, and prepared meals. Additionally, within Copper and Stone, there is Las Catalinas wine cellar for wine tasting and a great open-air area for quick lunch breaks. Las Catalinas is a high-end beach town reminiscent of a Mediterranean-style village. Spanning over 1200 acres, 80% of which has been devoted to green space for its residents, this development offers a unique blend of nature and luxury living. The town features two beaches, Playa Danta, and Playa Dantita, as well as indoor and outdoor gyms, over 26 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, a beach club with multiple pools—including a lap pool—upscale boutiques, and approximately 10 different restaurants. Las Catalinas regularly features events, including triathlons, movie nights, and festivals. Las Catalinas is only a 10-minute drive to the new Flamingo Marina, which is now accepting boats into its harbor. It is a 15-minute drive to the private schools of La Paz and the Costa Rica International Academy (“CRIA”) and is a 45-minute drive from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, Costa Rica.
