20985 A Modern Sanctuary Of Light And Privacy In Monterán

Casa Altea

In the heart of Monterán, one of the most prestigious residential communities in the eastern Central Valley, stands this modern home in a luxury condominium that combines functionality, spaciousness and a privileged location. Set on a 2,838 m² lot with approximately 800 m² of construction, this residence offers an unusually private setting even within the condominium.

Upon entering, a double-height living and dining room welcomes you with an immediate sense of space, brightness and elegance. Facing this area, large windows open onto the beautiful garden, with fruit trees and a variety of ornamental plants that provide freshness and color throughout the year. To the left are the family areas, where a cozy TV room connects to three bedrooms. The two secondary bedrooms each have their own bathroom with a separate shower, and above them an open desk area provides a functional nook for study or work. At the back, in a reserved section of the house, is the master bedroom: a private retreat that includes an entry foyer and is oriented toward the garden to enjoy the view and the tranquility of the surroundings. The master bathroom stands out for its majestic shower clad in Italian marble and a large walk-in closet with high-quality finishes.

On the right side of the house is the integrated Italian-designed kitchen with natural stone countertops, equipped with high-end Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances, and it also features a Wolf BBQ station on the outdoor terrace. Complementing this space are a separate pantry, a large laundry area and a maid’s room with its own bathroom. In addition, there is a convenient service area designed for those who enjoy hosting, facilitating the logistics of events and gatherings at home.

Completely independent and on the second level are three additional bedrooms ideal for guests and a bathroom with a shower, which enjoy unobstructed views of the mountains and surrounding green areas. Currently, this area also houses a bright and spacious office, ideal for working from home in a private and tranquil environment.

This section also includes a fully equipped gym and a private entrance that provides space to comfortably park up to fifteen vehicles within the property.

The house was designed to suit a comfortable, family-oriented lifestyle, with a layout that prioritizes connection to the outdoors and everyday comfort. Most living areas are located on the ground floor, including the master bedroom, which adds ease of use and versatility. The social areas, characterized by high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive glass facade, visually integrate with the expansive garden and the surrounding landscape, creating an open, bright and highly welcoming atmosphere.

The contemporary architectural design of this luxury property in Curridabat — uncommon within Monterán — is distinguished by its clean aesthetic, sloped roofs, defined lines and restrained finishes. Carefully selected materials were used, such as Spanish marble floors in the social areas, solid Spanish wood flooring in the bedrooms, and secondary bathroom vanities with tops imported from Spain. The window frames and sliding doors are from the prestigious American brand La Cantina, while the coffered ceiling in the main living room and the terraces are crafted from solid Chilean pine. The entire property functions as a smart home, equipped with LED lighting, special outlets and the Lutron automation system, which further enhances the living experience.

This offering becomes one of the most outstanding options for those seeking to live in an exclusive home in east San José, in a safe and tranquil environment without forgoing an active and sophisticated lifestyle. Monterán offers its residents a high-quality setting with 24/7 security, a golf course, trails, a clubhouse, a swimming pool and close access to top-tier educational centers, shops and medical services. This property represents an exceptional opportunity for those wishing to settle in one of the most established and sought-after communities in the metropolitan area.
