A Vista Atenas Original | 2-Bedroom Home with Guest House in Atenas, Costa Rica

$499,000.00

Located in Vista Atenas—the original expat community in Atenas and still one of its most desirable neighborhoods—this beautifully maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom home, complete with a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house, is surrounded by magnificent tropical gardens and offers a lifestyle that perfectly embraces the beauty of Costa Rica’s Central Valley.

Just five minutes from downtown Atenas and within walking distance of Green Valley School, the property is equally suited as a full-time family residence, a retirement retreat, or a home that comfortably accommodates visiting family and friends. Thoughtfully designed, exceptionally maintained, and filled with character, it offers everything needed to enjoy the relaxed Pura Vida lifestyle that has made Atenas famous.

Key Features

Open Concept Living
The home’s open floor plan creates an inviting atmosphere centered around vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, and beautiful tongue-and-groove finishes. Large windows fill the interior with natural light, while a spacious covered terrace extends the living space outdoors, overlooking the lush tropical gardens and creating the perfect setting for everyday living or entertaining.

Cozy Kitchen
The well-maintained kitchen features handcrafted wood cabinetry, distinctive tiled countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. Functional, warm, and timeless, it blends seamlessly with the home’s inviting character.

Primary Suite
Positioned at one end of the home for added privacy, the spacious primary suite enjoys vaulted wood ceilings, a large picture window overlooking the gardens, and an entire wall of built-in closets providing generous storage. The ensuite bathroom features a large vanity, walk-in shower, and an increasingly rare soaking bathtub, all finished with the home’s original tilework.

Guest Bedroom
Located on the opposite side of the home, the generously sized guest bedroom includes a built-in closet and convenient access to a full hall bathroom. A large picture window frames peaceful views of the tropical gardens beyond.

Guest House
Privately tucked near the entrance to the property, the detached guest house offers one bedroom, one bathroom, and both indoor and outdoor kitchen areas. Whether welcoming visiting family, accommodating long-term guests, or generating rental income through Airbnb, it provides exceptional flexibility.
