Santiago de los Caballeros
 

Foreigner selling spacious fully equipped home located in the breezy east side of Santiago, accessible to yet just outside the bustle of the city. Near the foot of the mountains it is about ten minutes from the new Santiago International Airport, 10 minutes from the Matanza Free Zone, five minutes from the Santo Domingo freeway and five minutes from a new hospital and modern medical complex and the largest supermarket in the city. Completed in 2001 with approximately 5000 sq. ft. of living space, the home sits on a double lot at the end of a cul-de-sac surrounded by green areas. The street is paved and all lots are occupied by high quality, prestige homes.

The exterior construction is all concrete and stuccoed block with a tile roof. Floors are of imported ceramic and all wood furnishings and trim are of solid mahogany.. Ceiling trim in white plaster and iron work is finished in an ornate gold-brush antique colour.

The kitchen features functional state-of-the-art American design with solid granite counters, bright overhead florescent lighting, alternate indirect florescent lighting, countertop stove and a wall oven. Cabinets are all custom made mahogany, including a pantry with pull-out shelving plus an independent telephone/ computer station.

The kitchen has two exits into both formal and informal dining areas. The formal dining room is 13 x 13 ft. and is surrounded by dignified Corinthian Doric columns. Informal dining is in a breezy, outside area (10 x 19 ft.) completely secured by ornamental ironwork. This delightful private section of the home will become your favourite place as it overlooks a beautiful lawn and garden yet is completely isolated from the street.

The six bedrooms (including a guest room) are served by five full baths fed by three independent hot water systems and a 20,000 litre cistern. The 550 sq. ft. Master Bedroom suite and bath features windows on three sides, 16 foot ceilings, his-and-hers sinks, tiled shower, Jacuzzi and walk-in closet, plus a patio door exit onto the 14 x 28 foot second floor terrace.
