Casa Rains offers a U shaped street façade and from the foyer the eye IMMEDIATELY goes thru the living room and the entertaining terrace, past the pool and to the astounding lake view. WOW! That is the dream view most homebuyers seek and in this home it is the focal point from the public rooms and 2 of the bedrooms. A half wall to the south is covered with flowering bugambilia shielding any neighbors rooftops and you just see beautiful lake Chapala and distant Mount Garcia and the occasional tropical palm tree framing the view and I can immediately understand how the current owners fell in love with this home.
The Bedroom wing features the master suite with its own glass slider to the pool and garden terrace and offers a lakeview, a gas fireplace for chilly mornings or evenings and an artisan brick domed ceiling. The suite has an ensuite bath with a large walk in shower and skylight as well as a spacious walkin closet. To the north in this wing is a guestroom with a full bath in the hallway. Between these 2 bedrooms is a large Office / Den / Flex Room. Its sofa bed makes it ideal for extra guests like grandkids.
The center block of the house has a living room and dining room with another brick domed ceiling with crown molding lights to highlight this artisan architectural feature that originated in distant Spain. The living room has a second corner fireplace. The ENTIRE south wall of the living and dining rooms opens with pocket sliders and lead out to a terrace room that doubles the size of the original room for lounging and entertaining. This terrace room has a grilling kitchen additional dining and living space and even a hightop table for sunset cocktails and tapas. WOW!
The homes kitchen is spacious with a Mexican Cupola domed ceiling, a center grand cooktop island, a pass thru bar with barstools that allows a cook to appreciate the lake view and dinner guests to be social. Upgraded appliances a new dishwasher, cabinet mounted microwave and wall oven, glass display cabinets and new granite countertops are all icing on the cake. To the kitchens north is a large walk in pantry ideal for those Costco shopping trips and next to it a separate laundry room that flows out to the carport ideal for efficiently off-loading groceries.
To the east of the dining room is a delightful surprise - a casita bedroom suite in its own wing. This space is small but has its own pool entrance as well as a house entrance and so has a level of independence. The current owner have family who work remotely when they visit and this casita suite is their dream space. They have privacy to quietly work but can also enjoy the lake view. The ensuite bath has Mexican charm and color and it occurs to me that with the outdoor shower leading to the pool this is also ideal for pool guests to use as a changing room and offers an easily accessible bath. It would also be ideal if you have an elder parent or if you yourself want a live in caregiver. Also perfect for homeowner who wants a second home office or art space. I love flex spaces in homes.
I keep gravitating back to this view terrace. If this was my home this is where I would spend my days. The pool is solar heated and I adore the elevated Lounge Pavilion they have built just outside the Master Bedroom. IT means that lounging under its shade roof with a book you look over the half wall and have the perfect lake view even from the reclining position.
