Valle del Sol

Soul Home is a single-level residence in Valle del Sol, Santa Ana, offering a refined Spanish colonial design with natural materials, warm architectural details, and a thoughtful connection to its surroundings in Costa Rica. Set within a residential golf community in the western area of San José, the property combines controlled access with a layout designed for both daily living and entertaining. An exterior brick corridor leads to the entrance, where detailed wooden doors open into a bright foyer. Natural light highlights a stone-accented wall and ceramic flooring framed with wood, creating a welcoming transition into the social areas positioned on either side. The main living and dining areas are designed with openness and continuity. Wood-framed transitions connect both spaces, each finished with cedar wood floors and direct access to the terrace through sliding wooden doors. Exposed wooden beams with corbels define the living room, while the dining area features a coffered brick ceiling with a central dome that draws in light from multiple angles. The covered terrace extends the living experience outdoors, defined by carved wooden columns, a full wood ceiling, and ceramic flooring. Overlooking the canyon, this space is well suited for quiet mornings or informal gatherings, with ceiling fans enhancing comfort throughout the day. The garden forms a central focal point of the home. Professionally landscaped and framed by mature Guanacaste trees, it includes a solar-heated pool and an independent rancho with bathrooms and a BBQ area. The layout allows guests to access outdoor social spaces directly from the side garden, maintaining privacy within the home. The natural setting also invites regular sightings of local wildlife, including birds and monkeys.
The kitchen, recently remodeled, combines traditional style with updated finishes. Dark blue cabinetry, marble countertops, and a central island define the space, complemented by a wooden preparation surface. Large windows and glass doors open toward the terrace, bringing in natural light, while a pantry and integrated dining area add functionality. A vaulted brick hallway leads to the private quarters, where a central TV room connects the bedrooms and provides access to the terrace. Secondary bedrooms feature built-in closets, natural light, and garden access through wrought iron doors. Some bedrooms share a bathroom, while others include en-suite bathrooms with updated finishes and wood detailing. The primary suite reflects the same architectural language, with direct access to the garden and terrace. The space includes a walk-in closet and a remodeled bathroom with double sinks, marble countertops, wood cabinetry, and a jacuzzi, offering a private and comfortable retreat within the home.Additional features include a laundry area, a two-car garage with additional exterior parking, and a service room with a full bathroom.
