Description
The property is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa that began its life as the well-known Tucán Pizza restaurant and was carefully converted into a multilevel residence with character in every direction. A separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest suite sits privately on its own level, offering strong income-generating potential while remaining an ideal retreat for visiting family or long-term guests. The location is one of the home’s most compelling advantages: directly across from a quiet park with a playground and basketball court, features rarely found in this area. From the park you follow a short path and steps down to Playa Carrillo, reaching the beach without ever crossing a main road. The villa also sits close to the region’s best futbol field, local restaurants, schools, and nearby shops.
Entry is through a deep wraparound porch that frames both upper levels, giving the home a continuous sense of openness. The main floor begins with a generous living room and a solid wood dining table that still hints at the property’s restaurant past. The first bedroom sits just off this space. A few steps below is the sunken kitchen, a practical configuration that keeps cooking and gathering connected while bringing subtle definition to the interior. Beside it are the utility room and the second bedroom.
The interior staircase leads to the expansive upper addition, one of the most distinctive elements of the home. This level includes the primary suite, a fourth bedroom, and a lofted game room that adds volume and height. Each room opens onto the second-floor balcony, creating a smooth indoor-outdoor flow and capturing views of the pool, surrounding palms, and the quiet edge of the neighborhood.
Returning down the stairway, the path guides you to the pool terrace. This outdoor space was designed for ease of living, with a broad patio suitable for barbecues, an outdoor shower, and enough room to settle in beside the water. Landscaping has been intentionally kept minimal, allowing you to enjoy the villa and the beach lifestyle of Playa Carrillo without being tied to ongoing yard maintenance.
Altogether the property offers approximately five bedrooms and five bathrooms across multiple levels, with interior areas of about 364 m² and total constructed space of approximately 431 m², along with generous outdoor living spaces. Its history is still subtly present, yet the layout suits modern coastal life perfectly: relaxed, social, and positioned within one of the most cherished beach communities in Costa Rica, with the added advantage of income potential already built into the design.
