Casa Double J – Atenas, Costa Rica

$850,000.00

Riverfront Custom Home | Sold Prior to Construction

Set on a lush riverfront lot overlooking the Río Cacao, Casa Double J was secured prior to construction and thoughtfully customized in collaboration with the buyers and developer. Originally conceived as a traditional three-bedroom residence, the design evolved over several weeks into a highly personalized home reflecting the lifestyle and priorities of its new owners.

Open Concept Living
Designed around light and flow, the home features expansive open living areas anchored by vaulted wood ceilings and generous walls of glass. Large sliding doors open onto the covered terrace, creating the seamless indoor–outdoor living experience that Atenas is known for.

Chef-Designed Custom Kitchen
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen designed by the owner, a professional chef. The layout emphasizes functionality and entertaining, complemented by a large walk-in pantry and direct access to an outdoor kitchen — ideal for gatherings and relaxed evenings overlooking the river valley.

Detached Master Suite Retreat
The private master suite is fully detached from the main living area and connected by a covered breezeway, enhancing both privacy and architectural character. The suite includes a large walk-in closet with its own dedicated laundry area and a luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities and dual showers.
