Stained Glass & Stone Arches Colonial in La Cañada

Description

Cascade Colonial Home is an exceptional Spanish-Mediterranean and colonial style residence nestled in the sought-after La Cañada community of San Rafael de Alajuela. This elegant single-level estate spans 860 square meters on a expansive 2,136 square meter landscaped lot, offering a harmonious blend of Old World charm and modern comfort. The home's most distinctive feature is its signature stone arches and columned details that flow throughout the residence, creating inviting social spaces bathed in natural light. Grand arches frame expansive windows and garden views, while hand-finished marble, white porcelain floors, and fine wood detailing establish a refined aesthetic. The formal living room showcases elegant stone arches, garden views, white porcelain flooring, and a delicate marble chimney. The semi-integrated dining and billiards area features open columns and a domed brick ceiling, with fine wood floors contrasting beautifully with the hallway's white porcelain. Two wooden doors open onto a vast covered terrace with multiple stone arches, domed ceiling, and direct access to the lush gardens and swimming pool. The resort-style pool features a striking rock waterfall and slide, creating a private oasis perfect for swimming and entertaining. The surrounding manicured gardens showcase exotic plants and palms, while a tranquil central courtyard with fountain and dry garden provides natural light and ventilation to the home's interior. The chef-caliber kitchen centers on a central island counter with secondary sink and is equipped with professional-grade GE stainless-steel appliances, wood cabinetry, and dark marble countertops offering ample preparation and storage space. A breakfast area with expansive garden views and window light completes this culinary hub. The private wing includes a family TV room flooded with natural light from the central garden, three generously appointed secondary bedrooms each with wall closets, bathrooms, and wooden floors, and an opulent master suite featuring an ample bedroom and spa-like bathroom with dual sinks, walk-in closet, and a jacuzzi positioned beneath a stunning hand-made stained glass window. Additional features include a separate guest apartment on the upper level with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom; a dedicated office space with built-in dual-desk furniture; three garage spaces plus exterior parking; laundry facilities; and a maid's room with bathroom.
