Some homes are simply built. Others are thoughtfully transformed.

Known affectionately as La Casa Morada, this charming single-level residence has been lovingly renovated while preserving the solid craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.

Originally built by the respected Ecuadorian engineer Ing. Edgar Diminich, a name recognized throughout Salinas for quality construction, this home offers something increasingly difficult to find today: solid construction, generous living spaces, and a mature residential setting just a short four-block walk from the beach.

Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and all living spaces conveniently located on one level, La Casa Morada is designed for comfortable everyday living. Whether you're raising a family, entertaining friends, working from home, or simply looking for room to spread out, this home offers the flexibility to fit your lifestyle.

The heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen that opens naturally into the living/dining areas, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday life. In the kitchen you will find more than enough storage, a breakfast bar, and separate exit door to the rear of the property. The lovely living room tile is a unique wow-feature with black Spanish porcelain baseboards trimming the entire home. Each of the 4 bedrooms offers large spaces to accommodate plenty of furniture, and each has its own ceiling fan and closet. Three of the bedrooms have new split air conditioning units. There is a laundry area nicely tucked in between two of the bedrooms in the hallway for easy access and additional storage. There is additional storage in an attic space in all of the bedrooms which is great for storing your suitcases, holiday items, etc. Another nice feature of this property is that the entire home is well ventilated with lots of windows, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures all year round.

Outside, the enclosed front patio and custom-built BBQ area—with its own sink and preparation space—invite relaxed afternoons, family gatherings, and weekend cookouts. In the rear of the property is the garage where you can park up to 2 vehicles. There is an outdoor bathroom and several storage areas.

Over the past several years, the home has undergone extensive improvements, including:

• Complete kitchen renovation

• Fully remodeled primary bathroom

• Electrical system upgraded and properly grounded

• Cistern cleaned, sealed, and equipped with a water pump

• Plumbed for hot water in majority of the home

• Original drop ceilings removed to create beautiful vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting throughout the entire home

• Roof beams professionally reviewed and several replaced with new structural beams

• Roof professionally cleaned and repainted (with no history of leaks) in 2026

• Entire exterior recently repainted in 2026

• Enclosed front patio creating additional outdoor living space

• Decorative exterior light fixtures around entire perimeter

• Custom BBQ station with sink and preparation area

• Rear corner prepared for a future jacuzzi or additional outdoor living space

• Decorative tiled perimeter wall

• Palm trees on sidewalk to enhance the property's curb appeal

• Elegant bamboo pergola with flourishing bougainvillea creating a beautiful entrance to the home

From the moment you arrive, La Casa Morada makes a wonderful first impression. The landscaped frontage, mature palms, colorful bougainvillea, and inviting entrance create a home that feels welcoming before you even step inside.

Yet one of its greatest features can't be measured in square meters.

It is the feeling of privacy and tranquility; a feeling of being "Home". Despite being located in one of Salinas' established sought-after residential neighborhoods - Carbo Viteri - the home offers a surprising sense of peace and seclusion while remaining just a few minutes walk from beaches, shopping, restaurants, schools, and everyday conveniences.

Offered unfurnished, this is a wonderful opportunity to create a home that reflects your own style and vision from day one.

If you've been searching for more than just another house—if you're looking for a place with character, quality construction, generous space, and a story of thoughtful care—La Casa Morada deserves a place at the top of your list.

Schedule your private showing today and experience why this special home is so easy to fall in love with.
