Stunning architectural home in a prime location in Escazu. High Point is a stunning contemporary gem by acclaimed Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher with interior design by Dallas-based Seifert & Murphy. This elegant multi-level home towers over Cerro Alto with 180-degree panoramic views of San Jose's Central Valley and surrounding mountains, yet only minutes from the heart of Escazu's premier shopping and dining. The El Punto Alto residence features a design of elegant materials and impeccable details with exceptional privacy and security.
The welcoming entrance to High Point is destined to envelop and impress. The main foyer combines Italian marble floors with poured concrete wall panels clad in treated pine wood for unique handcrafted textures. Quick access to the other levels is available via the contemporary staircase, or via a stainless steel and marble Otis elevator with programmable speed details.
On the main level, the expansive main social area features double-height ceilings and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views. Created for glittering parties or intimate entertaining, the integrated social area is loaded with top-of-the-line features including Euromat UV security window treatment, a well-appointed corian-topped bar, Lutron lighting and smart surround sound with smartphone controls. The experience combines interior luxury with an expansive panoramic balcony that seems to open to Costa Rica's majestic central valley and surrounding mountains.
From the white quartz countertops to the Spanish Santos cabinetry, the kitchen at High Point was designed to impress and enjoy with a functional aesthetic. The large kitchen features natural and custom lighting, plenty of storage space with a large pantry and a central breakfast island with solid wood countertops and a stainless steel workstation.
