Casa Deliciosa For Sale
I currently live in Casa Deliciosa, which is a “recycled house” remodeled from a dilapidated real estate office that was on the farm when we bought it. This ultra-modern (some would say “crazy”) shape was designed by a local Costa Rican architect. Honestly, I used to drive past this place and hated it, so I wasn’t sure what to do with it when I ended up owning it. I took it upon myself to make this oddly shaped structure into a tropical dream-house, and the results have been spectacularly received by everyone who has visited it.
While the outside looks funny, inside is another story. It’s larger above than below, creating a wonder feeling of space and light which has to be experienced to really appreciate it. Most people are truly amazed by the design when they enter.
I added a sleeping/office loft, two outside garden bathrooms, a walk-through closet, and a huge kitchen replaced three office cubicles.
