Cotacachi, Cotacachi, Imbabura, Ecuador
** 01 NOV 2023 ~ SOLD ** This property is certainly one-of-a-kind. Nestled quietly in a residential neighborhood of Cotacachi on a cobblestone street, this cozy rehabbed home is truly a most unique property. . From the street, this house looks just like all the others on the street with the exception of its color. Little does one know what to expect upon stepping up to the beautiful wooden door. Enter into a large open-concept space which is the living/dining area. Here towards the back you have a large kitchen with a tremendous amount of countertop & workspace. A nice amount of local wooden cabinetry including custom cupboard provide ample storage. Appliance included in the sale are the refrigerator, the cook top stove and the oven. . Heading up the stairwell you notice the ironwork handrails and at the top of the wooden stairs you encounter a large full bathroom with custom wood barn-door feature. Off to the right is a spacious bedroom with custom wooden closet with views overlooking the street. Opposite this bedroom is the office space which can double as an additional bedroom. Head even further upstairs to the rooftop terrace where you find a large outdoor seating area and amazing 360-degree views of Cotacachi and Mounts Imbabura and Cotacachi. . Back on the second level, you pass through the office space onto an external catwalk – a covered hallway which leads to the main bedroom. This enormous space feels even bigger with vaulted ceilings. Mixed materials of brick and wood combine beautifully here to create a cozy and comforting space. There is a huge full bathroom again with custom wood barn-door feature. A great surprise here in this main room is the Juliette balcony which overlooks a hidden, yet extensive garden area. . The back portion of the property can be accessed through the kitchen where you enter into the cozy interior courtyard which showcases lovely colorful bricklaying work, an outdoor kitchen-type setup and a bamboo-enclosed area that houses gas tanks and hot water heater. . Past the courtyard a door opens up to a hallway of brick and an enormous full bathroom / laundry room immediately on the right. Keep going down the hall to find yet another surprise: an indoor pool. Larger than a jacuzzi, this custom pool is designed to heat up with propane tanks: a truly unique feature. . Exit out past the pool into the secret garden area filled with thoughtfully organized winding paths offering nooks and crannies covered with flowers, shrubbery and trees which provide shade, privacy, and peaceful moments. A strategically placed firepit and multiple mature fruit trees can also be found here. . It is a hard property to envision without seeing for yourself as the photos just do not do it justice. Every turn is another surprise. Every door leads to a new experience. All the details are deliberate. An amazing energy abounds in this house … just waiting to find its new owner. .
