A beautiful metal gate with stone and cement surrounds dotted with green foliage, give you a glimpse into this palatial home, surrounded by luxury homes on a small cul de sac. The main gate into the community is locked at night. This is the area where wealthy Ecuadorians are building their dream houses, and expats are now discovering its beauty and allure. Walking up an elegant, flower-filled path you enter the home through a beautifully, carved wooden door. Once inside, your senses come alive with the glorious elements that make this home so special. There are sky-high ceilings with skylights, and slated wooden and wrought-iron accents, multiple seating and dining areas from an opulent formal dining room, to casual dining areas ... a family/TV room, a large living room, an upstairs reading room, and a gourmet kitchen that is a cook's dream. Beautiful archways, a circular fireplace that services both the dining room and the kitchen, round coved ceilings, etched glass, plus a large sit at bar, and an additional island with tons of storage, make this the heart of the home and a perfect entertaining area. All windows in the main residence are double-glazed, providing excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing, which significantly enhances comfort and energy efficiency throughout the home. Lush grass and plantings, and a stone path take you through a floral arch to the entertainment pavilion/guest house -- which extends the areas for guests to sit, relax, play games, or dine. Boasting, outdoor and indoor dining and a clay pizza (or meat) oven -- this is a family favorite and a great place to host friends, thanks to its good-sized second floor sleeping loft. As mentioned, it could also serve as a rental unit. Back in the main house, are formal and informal living and seating areas, and two of the four bedrooms. Ascending up a wooden wrought iron staircase, you'll find another spacious family room flanked by two more large en-suite bedrooms, each revealing the third-floor attic space, that now serves as an office ... reachable by a circular staircase off the family room. The large covered garage can fit multiple cars and the property includes a private CCTV surveillance system and is equipped with a high-voltage electric fence along the front perimeter to reinforce security. In addition, the home is located inside a gated residential community that offers controlled access through a shared entry gate, community-wide video surveillance, and a neighborhood alarm system, ensuring safety and peace of mind for all residents.
