Push open the solid teak pivot door and the whole main floor receives you at once — kitchen, dining and living in one unbroken line, wrapped in three-meter walls of glass that slide away until the covered terrace and hardwood deck become part of the room. Sunrise pours down the two-story stairwell window and follows you through the house; upstairs, the day ends in a freestanding soaking tub at the master suite’s picture window over the treetops.

Built in 2021 to US construction and finish standards on 0.70 acre of titled, fully fenced land, this is the rare coastal home where everything simply works: treated water at consistent pressure, automatic backup power, new split-system A/C in every room, and fiber internet throughout. Minutes from Olón’s beach and town, sold fully furnished and move-in ready — every specification is in the details below.

Layout

Ground floor

Entry through a large solid teak pivot door. One open volume — kitchen, dining and living in a line with the open-riser stair at its center — with full-height sliding glass on two sides opening to the covered terrace, hardwood deck and turf terrace. Full bathroom with walk-in rain shower. Laundry/mudroom with utility sink, coat hooks and its own door to the side service yard. Walk-in pantry. Utility/storage closet housing the electrical panel.

Upper floor

Master suite — bathroom with double teak vanity, freestanding soaking tub at picture window, walk-in rain shower, and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms (one configured as a home office) sharing a second full bathroom with tub/shower and rain head. The master suite, the office between them, and the kids’ room each open through sliding doors onto the covered west balcony. The kids’ room, the largest of the secondary bedrooms, has custom wooden single bunk beds — painted, included in the sale, and removable if a buyer wants the floor space — a whiteboard wall, and an open hanging wardrobe with a teak-fronted dresser in place of a closet. The fourth bedroom has no balcony access but a large east-facing window.

Lower level (separate wing)

8m × 8m garage, currently fitted as a home gym and workshop; exposed steel joist ceiling; single sectional bay door. The rear wall is a structural retaining wall. The garage roof serves as an 8m × 8m turf terrace at main-floor level.
