As you drive through the shopping district just follow the signs for the University for Peace. This is a very pleasant drive through four kilometers of beautifully maintained coffee plantations. This is a nice drive on paved roads with overhanging trees and distant views, and the occasional Monkey darting across the road. Temperatures are never far off of 72-degrees due to the elevation (3,600’ above sea level) which keeps it fresh and makes for excellent sleeping. The Main House: if you appreciate quality you will love this home. This is not just a nice floor plan but every detail has been well thought out by the owners who are both Engineers. From the very comfortable kitchen to an easy switch over back up generator in case a tree limb falls over a power-line somewhere. Everything has been well thought out. The entrance is spectacular with double cedar doors opening into high vaulted ceilings, a large foyer, overlooking the living room. The Master-Suite has a large sitting room and his & hers walk in closets, the kitchen is huge with a long Island, custom cabinets, and windows that look onto the large covered porches. There is a large pantry, laundry/ service quarters. Next there is a second bedroom with full bath. The third bedroom is actually an apartment with its own bedroom, living room, kitchen, and a full bathroom, perfect for in-laws of long term visitors who may need their own entrance. The Secondary house: 100 square meters (1,076-s.f.) is presently used as a wood-shop but it has an office and a full bath. The owner has the plans to make another 2-bedroom house out of it if needed. There is even a small welding shop for this hobbyist. Both of the houses are on one level, the yard is flat, and there are even some handicapped ramps that were put in for the owner’s father. The terrace and covered porches are just wonderful looking over the extensive gardens and beautiful landscaping. Here are some of the extras: three telephone lines, ADSL High speed internet, 200-amp electrical service, Public water, 7.2-KW elect generator with transfer panel, country living but on a paved road. There is a general market down the street that delivers and it is about a 10 min drive to major shopping. There is a new golf course and country club being built down the street and celebrities like Mel Gibson have bought other properties surrounding the well known University for Peace. All of these things will add to future values. * Fully Landscaped with Prinklers and security system now installed. everything is in place and PERFECT! |
