Villa Venecia is a one-level house that manages to bring the classic elegance of Venice into Costa Rica, with its coved ceilings and archways, wrought iron embellishments, and colonial furniture. Located in Bosques de Lindora, an exclusive, gated residential community close to the stretch of free zones in Santa Ana, this estate offers a convenient location within the community where privacy and convenience converge. Moreover, the community is close to dining options, supermarkets, banks, and shops.
The facade of the house features a natural stone veneer that adds an edge to its white-snow walls. The entryway features round columns and vaulted brick ceilings all the way to the main doors. The foyer opens with the sight of an inner courtyard with beautiful plants allocated throughout, and as a backdrop, two arched windows with wrought iron detailing.
The living room is permeated with tons of natural light provided by the spacious glass doors that integrate the backyard into the indoor space. The use of wood in the floors, doors, and window frames adds warmth, and the high ceilings favor ventilation and offer a fresh ambiance. The kitchen is located on the left wing of the house and features black countertops with wooden cabinetry, a kitchen island that stands out with an accent light above, and stainless steel appliances.
Moreover, the formal dining room’s ceiling also has a clear Venetian influence, with a hanging chandelier over the table that becomes a show-stealer. There is also an adjacent TV room, which, along with the living room, kitchen, and dining area, has all access to the outdoor terrace. The backyard is spacious and very appropriate to entertain guests and family members during a special occasion or any given day, as there is an informal great room under the roof, the hedge fence around the house offers privacy, and the perfectly manicured gardens become the ideal backdrop for a family gathering or friends’ BBQ.
High ceilings and hardwood floors can be found all around the residence. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet, beautiful views of the garden, and a cozy reading corner especially made for an avid reader to enjoy. From this point of the house, you can access the master bathroom, where you will find more fine finishes such as a bathtub, a separate shower, a carved-wood vanity, and ample mirrors.
Two bedrooms share one bathroom, an additional bedroom with an individual bathroom, and a linen closet with space for storage can be found. Furthermore, all the bedrooms boast equally spacious walk-in closets. As you move on to the upper level of the house, you will find yourself in a customizable, private area that includes a private bathroom as well as a walk-in closet. Your imagination can lead the way on this one; you can transform it into a studio, a home office, a gym, or a game room. The possibilities are endless!
Having been built for the current owners, one of the highlight features of this property is how immaculately maintained it is. The owners made a home of this residence and poured all their love and effort into keeping it in impeccable condition, and in return, the beauty of it has surely withstood the test of time, making it the ideal place for a family to grow older and create lasting memories. The incorporation of the classical elegance and luxury of Venice, integrated with the pura vida philosophy in a tropical setting, has never looked so smooth. Villa Venecia in Santa Ana is truly the perfect trip towards Italian essence and architecture amidst the wonders of Costa Rica.
