Salinas, Salinas, Santa Elena, Ecuador
**31 JAN 2024 ~ SOLD!!!** Seldom does a residential property come to market in Salinas which has all the makings of Home. Located just a short walk to the beach, the Casa Flamingo is a two-story, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, international design style home boasting more than 2000+ square feet of living space which sits on a double lot. With several bonus features including grass yard for your pets, a huge rooftop deck, gorgeous gardens, fabulous lanai, custom private pool… this home is truly Paradise! . The contemporary design with sleek crisp lines is demonstrated throughout the home starting with the stone wall façade detailing. The new over-sized custom front door is made of steel frame with alternating canela wood and glass panels and opens into the foyer, which is flanked by a formal living room on the left and sunken dining room on the right. Windows abound on the entire first floor - which is very open-concept - allowing light and breezes to flow through the entire home. Off the dining room is a modern kitchen recently remodeled to US standards with beautiful granite countertop, stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage including a spacious pantry. Continue down the hall past the visitor’s half bath and you have the most coveted area of the home: the lanai. Surround-sound music, drop-down movie theatre screen and outdoor bbqs are all possibilities in this amazing outdoor entertaining area. Here the hammocks sway gently while you enjoy a morning coffee, an afternoon nap or an evening cocktail. . Heading upstairs you come to a nice landing area which could double as a tv-media room / office space, followed by the three bedrooms, each having en-suite baths, built-in closets, and individually controlled air conditioning. The primary suite features double sinks and extra closet space. . Perhaps one of the nicest features of this property is the roof-top terrace which covers the entire length of the home. This is where you will find the covered laundry area, a storage space and a huge patio with 360-degree views of Salinas. Think pergola, star-gazing, yoga sanctuary or alternate entertainment location. . The impeccable grounds include small paths of pavers and natural stone scattered throughout the property, connecting several deliberate nooks of mature landscaping which envelop the exterior with colorful hues and combinations that complement the home. . Flowering trees and lush foliage plants were used to create a tropical atmosphere and a miniature jungle tucked under a graceful Acacia tree in the back corner of the property. An underground irrigation system was added for easy, low maintenance year-round. . The subtly lit pool with a statuary niche flanked by waterfalls is relaxing and refreshing with a large patio for sunbathing. This area is completed by a storage bodega which could multi task as a pool house. In the front of the property there is a small paved driveway and garage door with street access. . There are many conveniences located within easy walking distance of this property including public transportation, the Tennis Club, multiple eateries and bakeries, schools, ATMs, churches, police station and of course the Malecon of Salinas with its multiple beach areas.
