The Legacy House
The Legacy House: Where timeless craftsmanship meets garden serenity in one of the city’s most distinguished East Side neighborhoods.
Located in Lomas de Ayarco Sur in Curridabat, is a single-level independent residence defined by its solid construction, generous proportions, and a constant connection to its natural surroundings. Set within a well-established residential area in the eastern side of San José, known for high-end homes and proximity to embassies, the location offers convenient access to educational centers, healthcare services, commercial areas, and main routes such as Route 1, allowing easy connectivity to Cartago, San Pedro, and downtown San José.
The property sits on a 1,418.73 m2 lot and is surrounded by 509 m2 of gardens that wrap around the home, creating a continuous green setting. This layout enhances privacy while maintaining a direct relationship with the outdoors from multiple interior spaces. The design prioritizes natural light, cross ventilation, and a seamless transition between social areas and exterior spaces.
The social area is spacious, well-lit, and naturally ventilated, with interconnected spaces that open directly onto the terrace and garden. This layout supports both daily living and social gatherings. It includes a main living room and a library, both with fireplaces, a formal dining room, breakfast area, foyer and entrance hall, guest bathroom, and coat closet. The kitchen is generously sized and functional, featuring two pantries, one with a wine cellar, along with a pantry area, laundry room with storage closets, and a utility area with a water collection tank. The service quarters include a spacious bedroom with a full bathroom. The property also offers two internal garages with storage spaces and a water pump system, as well as additional exterior parking for up to eight vehicles. The entire garden is equipped with an irrigation system.
The private family area is fully separated by a sliding wooden door that can be concealed within the wall, reinforcing privacy. All windows are fitted with screens, allowing for natural ventilation throughout. The primary bedroom is expansive, with excellent natural light and airflow, and includes an en suite bathroom with marble finishes and bronze fixtures, including a distinctive bathtub detail. It also features a walk-in closet that functions as a secure room, as well as a steam room, a shower with specialized finishes, and a solarium that extends the usability of the space. The secondary bedrooms are also spacious, well-lit, and ventilated, with one currently used as an office. This area is complemented by a linen closet and a TV room.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the property is the extensive use of fine woods throughout the residence. Flooring includes mahogany in areas such as the library and main dining room, as well as ron-ron wood in the primary bedroom and two secondary bedrooms, a rare material valued for its quality and character. The coffered ceilings, entrance columns, library paneling, and built-in furniture were crafted by Urgellés y Penón, incorporating woods such as mahogany, cedar, almond, and oak, including kitchen cabinetry and exterior eaves. All doors throughout the home are made of cedar, providing consistency and continuity in the interior design.
The finishes reflect a careful selection of materials, with marble bathrooms, bronze fixtures, and unique elements such as an artistic sink imported from Italy. These details contribute to the character and longevity of the residence, aligned with the construction quality of its time.
In terms of functionality, the home offers both gas and electric cooking options, including an electric cooktop, gas stove, and two built-in ovens. The hot water system operates on gas, complemented by additional features such as a water storage tank and electric pump.
The Legacy House represents a property defined by space, durable materials, and a strategic location within the Greater Metropolitan Area, suited for those who value well-defined living areas, privacy, and a strong connection to a well-established residential environment.
