What a fantastic opportunity to own your very own piece of PARADISE!! There are not many ocean-front homes available on the southern Ecuadorian coast and few are hard to find in this condition and location. Unobstructed direct toes-in-sand experience is what you will have living here. Not to mention the breezes the sunshine the lulling of the ocean waves. All you need is your suitcase for this fully turn-key opportunity. Sitting on a 880 square meter lot, this fully furnished 3 story home was custom designed by the actual owners. Fantastic open spaces both inside and out afford you plenty of room to entertain or just relax. As you enter the property through the bouganvilla drenched walkway, and pass the driveway nicely designed with pavers and able to accommodate up to 3 cars, you enter the house in awe. The ground floor is one huge open space of contemporary functionality and design. Off to the right is a half bath and the master bedroom with huge en-suite bath and walk in closet. The master has a private balcony and the en-suite has his-her sinks, huge shower and the amount of storage in the walk-in is unparalleled. But let's head back to the main area of the house - this huge open concept high ceiling designer space that is just awe-inspiring. You don't know what to look at first. The high ceiling, the gourmet kitchen, the entrance out to the beach, the funky stairwell, the tremendous mural on the wall. Take a minute to let it all soak in - you'll need to sit and stay a while. So let's start with the gourmet kitchen - if you love to cook you will love this home. Storage abounds with upper and lower custom cabinetry, gorgeous countertop, fabulous center island, stainless steel appliances, a pantry you can get lost in. And don't forget the laundry room off the pantry. So, if we head to the living room space...we look all the way up to a super high ceiling with windows on either end letting in tons of natural light. On the wall the custom cabinetry goes up halfway where it meets the most amazing mural, handpainted on the wall by a local artisan (video available). From the living space you can chose to go up the stairs to the second floor or out the sliding glass doors to the covered porch which leads to the outdoor patio. On the second floor you will find two huge bedrooms each with a ton of closet storage space. The front bedroom has a private balcony with ocean views, overlooking the patio. The back bedroom overlooks the front entrance and nicely manicured front lawn. There is a huge bathroom that is on this level with shower and tub - a not so common feature here at the beach. Head up one more flight of stairs and you will get to a huge covered roof-top terrace. This terrace has the most fantastic 360 degree views of the entire area from ocean to mountain. There are already a couple of hammocks up here, so you might as well take your shoes off and stay a while. If the breeze doesn't knock you out then the ocean murmur sure will. Last but not least we head back down to that covered porch area that leads out to the back patio. You will, by the way, be spending lots of time on this porch. But, digressing to the back patio - wow. What a tremendous space with so much potential. You have a palapa off to the right - enormous space for entertaining all night long. You have an outdoor seating area right in front with plenty of space to set up umbrellas and enjoy pina coladas with your friends. Off to the left is where you will use your imagination - I know what I would do with that space ;) And the walkway leading directly to the sand on the beach. Paradise. Need I say more?
