About the area

Escazu

When choosing to purchase real estate in Costa Rica, most buyers first make a decision as to whether they prefer to purchase real estate on the coast, or whether they prefer to be in or near a city. If the decision is the latter, our clients end up in the area of Escazu. Escazu has become the most sought after neighborhoods in the outskirts of San Jose for both our Costa Rican clientele, as well as our foreign investors. The reasons are abundant and varied depending on the investment criteria of each individual, family or business. However, the common influences that drive clients into this vibrant Western suburb are convenience, access to the best shopping, top-rated bilingual schools, world-class medical facilities, restaurants and corporate offices.

Escazu is 15 minutes to the international airport, and offers immediate access to Highway 27 (Prospero Fernandez), which allows for convenient access to the Pacific Coast and towns like Jaco Beach, Manuel Antonio, and Dominical, as well as access to the northern beaches of Guanacaste. Most executives and families enjoy the ability to be able to escape from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives and explore one of the many beaches and this western location makes this ever so easy, with beaches less than 1 hour away. As for shopping, this area is home to the infamous Multiplaza, which is Costa Rica's largest and most prominent shopping mall with brands such as Kenneth Cole, Victoria's Secret, and many more. Additionally, a series of lifestyle developments have also sprouted to provide a more unique experience for the residents, focusing on outdoor walking spaces, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Avenida Escazu

Without a doubt Avenida Escazu has become the place to be in Escazu, and developers Portafolio Inmboliario have created a destination combining the best in mixed use lifestyle with office, retail, hospitality, dining and residential real estate.

Situated on the 4th floor of the most exclusive residential tower in Escazu, Avenida 510, this luxury condo provides it’s owners with a prestigious address at the corner of the area’s most sophisticated mixed use lifestyle center, and directly across the street from the historic Costa Rican Country Club. The privileged location offers walking distance to dozens of high end boutiques, international dining, private banking and entertainment, while boasting an unparalleled level of security and exclusivity with only residence per floor, and a lobby concierge at your beckon call. Upon entering 510 Avenida, owners and guests are welcomed with an iconic sense of arrival and a unique contrast of the lush green backdrop, and the modern flare of the façade of this iconic building. As you enter the two story glass lobby, a sense of calm and luxury embrace you as you are greeted by the concierge, and can have guests wait in the expansive lounge. To the rear of the first floor, and just pass the code key elevators, you will find the exclusive indoor open air pool, zen gardens, and boutique gym.

As peace of mind is a critical component of the few fortunate residents at 510 Avenida, each floor is accessed only by a unique code, or as invited guests authorized by owners and accompanied by the concierge. Upon exiting the elevator, you will find the custom Iron and Bendheim glass front door, with fingerprint technology and to the left you will find a service entrance as well for bringing in groceries, or staff. As you enter the lobby of this unparalleled home, the elegance and luxury and just a taste of what is to come seemingly oozes from the walls and ceilings as you notice the travertine walls, Taj Mahal quartz and Italian marble flooring, and the one of a kind Berovier & Toso chandelier made from Murano glass from Venice.

The lobby was carefully designed to serve as a central transition into the residence, with custom pocket doors directly in front which lead to the tv room, and two hallways on either side leading to the social areas and kitchen to the left, or the bedrooms to the right. As you walk to the left, you will find a guest bathroom hidden behind custom Bendheim glass wall. Just passed the guest bathroom, is the kitchen and breakfast nook, which features Poggenpohl German cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances and Borncracht faucet. For casual dining, there is a breakfast nook overlooking the country club highlighted by a Cloud chandelier from Apparatus NY Design.

The social areas can be accessed either from the foyer or from the kitchen, and when you walk into this majestic room, you will truly understand how special the One at 510 Avenida Escazu truly is. The open floor plan allows residents and guests to immediately take in the unobstructed views of the golf course, lush greenery and mountains of Escazu in the forefront with a sense of regal yet, subdued opulence. The Taj Mahal quartz floors, fusion quartz wall accent, copper doors, and one of a kind customized ceiling and lighting frame the room majestically to incorporate multiple living rooms, and a formal dining room accented by an original Christopher Boots lamp. Behind one of the sliding copper doors, you will enjoy a custom bar with copper panel ceilings, pink onyx/quartz countertop, Christopher Boots lights, Hansgrohe accessories and Nanz cabinetry handles.

The custom lighting, designed by the aforementioned Japanese lighting designer, is controlled by Palladoim keypads and powered by Lutron Homeworks, and offers a variety of ambiences for every occasion. The pinnacle of the social areas is the wrap around terrace that spans from the kitchen and across the dining room, living room, and all way to the office on the other side of the residence. This terrace provides the quintessential setting to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, or an afternoon glass of champagne overlooking the postcard views in the forefront. The sliding glass doors bring this outdoor space, abundance of natural light and picturesque backdrop into the living space.

When you or the kids need some private time, you can walk through the custom, leather pocket doors and into the cozy, tv room with vaulted ceilings and custom, Bisazza oakwood parquet floors. From the tv room, you can head into the full sized office which overlooks the treetops facing west, offers direct access to the terrace and is equipped with a full bathroom including Taj Mahal quartz details throughout, therefore, could be used as a fourth bedroom. Beyond the tv room, is a hallway leading to the two children’s bedrooms to the right and the main bedroom to the left offering extreme privacy. The children’s bedrooms each include custom Bisazza hardwood parquet floors, French wallpaper, en suite bathroom with Hansgrohe accessories and panoramic views looking north.

The principal bedroom is truly an oasis for the owners of The One at 510 Avenida Escazu. Every corner of the room was carefully designed to provide the epitome of relaxation and rest, including a meditation or reading nook, custom sliding cabinetry to hide the tv, a vanity with custom Bendheim mirror, and of course floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views. The main bathroom was no less important to the only owners of this residence, and the attention to detail here is evidence to that. The floors are Calacatta Carara marble with Bisazza platinum mosaic accent in the arch above the Kaldewai bathtub. The dual vanity features Dornbracht faucets, Christopher Boots crystal lamps and an impressive, design closet fit for a queen (and a king 😊…..

Throughout the home, the designers sought to combine the sleek and sophisticated luxury lines and premiere finishes, with softening touches including arches throughout residence. While this impressive and elegant home was built sparing no expenses in the planning, construction or finishes, its true masterpiece lies in the result; creating a peaceful and warm home in one of the finest addresses in the Central Valley.
