Description

TRADITIONAL TOWNHOUSE WITH POTENTIAL OCEAN VIEW ROOFTOP DECK. Distinguished and elegant, this fine historic property has all the charm and character of past centuries within its time-honored walls. Showcasing architecturally significant features intrinsic to Old San Juan; a lush interior courtyard with Spanish style stone water feature, authentic gray and white marble floors, mahogany balustrades and soaring "ausubo" beamed 18-foot-high ceilings. The main level boasts a grand living room which opens to the most exclusive, residential block of San Sebastian Street. One split level below the main floor, a private dining room and kitchen that opens to the courtyard. One split level above the main floor, two bedrooms with views to the courtyard and a full bathroom. The stately owner's suite on the second level has a bright, sunlit private terrace with a beautifully manicured selection of tropical flowers and plants, overlooking the street below. A large antechamber leads the way to the luminous bedroom which is flanked by three large windows, and bathroom. To create a rooftop deck above the master bedroom, just install safety railings and a spiral staircase, and voila... ocean views galore! Truly flawless, a classic example of Spanish Colonial architecture in one of the few exclusively residential areas within the Historic District of Old San Juan. This is a certified historic property and boasts a tax-exempt status as granted by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture.
