This house is absolutely adorable!! From the neighborhood to the terraced gardens out back, to the fantastic balcony with multiple hammocks, to the simple minimalistic interior design. This home is perfect for those who want to live in beach town that does not have a very large full time foreigner residential population. Living amongst the locals is exactly what you will do here. The home is quite charming as you enter into the large open space with very high ceilings, combining a nice size living and dining room. The open space continues on to an open kitchen with lots of great countertop space. The fridge is tucked away nicely to save space. There is a very nice full bathroom and one bedroom in the back of the house. Head outside through the screen door and you can either head upstairs to the tremendous balcony with plenty of outdoor seating area and several hammocks. Or, head down the terraced paths to the garden area filled with mature landscaping offering an oasis of flora and fauna – great for gardeners! And a really nice feature is the second bedroom and second bathroom which are separated from the main house by literally just a door: so you can use that as a separate guest house for rental income or a mother-in-law suite, or open up the spaces to combine them with the main house. Great options either way. Oh, and don’t forget that you can see the ocean from across the street – a nice feature to this hilltop residence. Being sold un-furnished.

The building is located on a 300+ square meter lot, and is comprised of 4 separate apartments. Each apartment is about 1500 square feet apiece with the exception of the ground floor unit. The building is in need of updating, cosmetic repairs and some good ‘ole TLC, however, with a new facelift this can be an excellent income-producing property.
