This beauty was completed in 2007. The lot, located at a cul-de-sac, measures 9,000 sq.ft with over 2,000 sq.ft of covered living space. The house counts a master bedroom with large fully fitted walk-in closet and large on-suite bathroom, two guest/kids rooms with full bath room, laundry room and a study/office with build-in library. You enter the house via a double door into a spacious living room with countersunk ceiling and open kitchen with American appliances, split level granite counter tops and a big double door pantry. The matured garden, with lots of palm trees (Travelers palms, Washingtonia palms, Coconut palms, Foxtail palms, Queen palm, Bottle palms etc.) and patio are accessible from both the living room as well as via the garden doors in the master bed room. The patio is wired for an outside TV and speakers have already been installed to listen to your favorite music while enjoying the view of your garden. A large attic is accessible from the study/office to store the things that you only need occasionally. Every room is fitted with both air conditioning and ceiling fans. All windows are fitted with lightweight aluminum (no rust in this salty environment) frames and sliding mosquito screens. The front paved parking area provides sufficient space to park two full-size vehicles. The house is equipped with smoke/fire detectors and special anti-theft/break-in provision.
The garden contains a large swimming pool and storage surrounded by lots of palm trees and other exotic plants. An outside shower provides that little extra Caribbean feeling while exiting the pool. The matured garden is also equipped with an automatic drip system that makes the garden very low maintenance. A playground is available for kids on a grass area. Scenic lights come on automatically at night to give this beautiful garden an even more romantic look.
The entire house has been prepped with low energy and low water appliances. For example, all lights in the house are special low wattage, high intensity lights. Special toilets and showers are fitted with water saving capabilities and the hot water is generated by a solar boiler installed on the patio roof.
This property contains a detached apartment with bedroom, living room and fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Ideal for a live-in maid or friends/family that visit.
Last but not least, this house is located walking distance (less than one minute) from some of the finest dining places in Aruba. It is less than 5 minutes away from the most sandy beaches in the Caribbean. Downtown Oranjestad, hotel area and supermarkets are all less than 10 minutes away.
