MLS ID: CAR10754 - CASA COOK

Casa Cook has a private drive that is shared with one neighboring home. It leads to the 2 car carport. This has 2 storage bodegas and a gardeners door that accesses the front lawn and garden thru the homes rear courtyard and gives direct entry to the second floor roof terrace Mirador.

The spacious foyer is lit by a pergola beamed skylight and has its own fountain. One of 2 in this home. It opens into an expansive living and dining room. The domed ceiling has cove lights in its crown molding to draw the eye to its meticulous detailed brick work. The room is anchored to the east with a gas logged remote controlled fireplace for cozy evenings and its west end dining room connects to the adjacent kitchen. The entire south wall is pocket glass sliders that effectively double the space as it leads out to a Lanai living room with another remote controlled gas fireplace and dining room with a companion grilling kitchen. These spaces all embrace the garden and that rare uninterrupted view of Lake Chapala and Mount Garcia on its far South shore. The terrace room has a second wall of sliders leading out to the lawn, a flagstone sun terrace and a tiered rock fountain. These garden sliders have remote controlled motorized sun shades. No detail in this property has been overlooked. This entire home and its lot is elevated above all the homes to its south allowing not only its amazing views but giving complete privacy.

The Lanai grilling kitchen has granite countertops and solid parotta wood cabinets. Its grill has a Mexican hacienda style hood. It offers plenty  of storage, its own dishwasher and a pass thru window from the main kitchen to its north. Its peninsula bar invites guest to visit while you grill and its undercounter fridge means a cold drink is never far away.

The homes main kitchen is just off the great room and I love how the two kitchens are positioned to work in harmony. This main kitchen has a brick cupola dome with a blown glass light fixture of blooming flowers. This harmonizes with a companion light fixture at its breakfast bar. The kitchen is an efficient U shape and as I mentioned has a pass thru window to the grilling kitchen. This window gives this main kitchen the same lake and garden view. It has stainless steel upgraded appliances, a double sink with garbage disposal, a reverse osmosis water tap offering truly drinkable water and an undersink on demand hot water heater as well as a second dishwasher. There is a separate laundry room as well as a walk in pantry to the kitchens north.

There is a large alcove room to the great room’s north. It is the perfect place to chill and enjoy your favorite movie but is large enough you could also have a home office here.

To the great rooms east an archway leads to a skylit hall way that runs from the north to the south of the home.

To the South you enter the master bedroom suite. It has yet another remote controlled gas fireplace, a soaring brick domed ceiling and glass sliders that lead out to the lawn. This bedroom’s orientation means you wake up to that fantastic lake view every day. It has a master ensuite bath with another skylight, double vanity, glass walled shower and beyond the bath a walk in closet with plenty of shelves drawers and hanging space.

The north end of the bedroom wing has a full hall bath with skylight that serves 2 more bedrooms. One of the bedrooms was used as a artist studio and while the home is being sold furnished this bedroom does not have a bed. Both guestrooms have a wall of closets with plenty of storage and both have glass sliders to the rear courtyard.

Casa Cook is a turn key property that is being sold furnished with the exception of personal art and one heirloom desk. That means you have not only a furnished home but dishes, pots, pans, silverware, linens and towels - everything you need to start your life lakeside.
