Timeless Architecture, Generous Spaces, and Premium Security in Santa Ana

Architect Ronald Zurcher designed this commanding two-story residence in Eco Residencial Villa Real, a premier secure community in Costa Rica's Central Valley. Casa The Arches balances robust architectural features with an extensive remodel completed in 2013, introducing contemporary elements that enhance the original design.

Upon entering the main level, a grand foyer with double-height brick-vaulted ceilings introduces the home's architectural character. Large windows fill the space with natural light during the day, while warm lighting accentuates the vaulted textures in the evening. The main living room, featuring a classic stone fireplace, opens directly to balconies that showcase panoramic mountain views of the Santa Ana valley. Solid almond wood floors, maintained in excellent condition, bring warmth and enduring quality to the social areas.

The covered terrace, framed by the elegant sequence of arched windows that give the property its name, functions as a versatile space to enjoy the warm climate of Santa Ana. Dark volcanic stone tiles from the respected Doninelli factory cover this area and guide the stairs down to the main garden. Designed for hosting, the terrace includes custom cabinetry made of imported wood, complete with a sink and storage.

In the backyard, a covered gazebo with barbecue facilities overlooks the private swimming pool and a flat lawn ideal for outdoor activities. The layout prioritizes privacy while ensuring a direct connection between the indoor social areas and the outdoor garden.
The private quarters are located on the lower level. The main staircase leads to three bedrooms and a spacious multi-purpose room with a full bathroom, currently utilized as a home theater with a retractable screen. This multi-purpose space also features a practical kitchenette for family convenience.

Every bedroom features a private bathroom, remodeled walk-in closets, and direct access to the garden, ensuring natural ventilation and light. The master suite features high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, a fireplace finished in natural stone, and a renovated master bathroom with a free-standing bathtub, double vanity, and refined marble finishes.

The modern kitchen was redesigned to offer a highly functional workspace. It features a large window with mountain views, a central island for prep work and informal dining, and a butler's pantry that serves as an essential staging area during social gatherings. The laundry room and full service quarters connect directly to the indoor two-car garage.
