Take the journey throughout this 5,500 sq. ft. piece of history. An exquisite contrast of modern amenities and beautifully preserved Spanish colonial architecture dating back to the 1600s.
As you come in by the "zaguan", you will be entering through the first of three "historic rooms" so designated by the Institute of Culture of Puerto Rico. The historical integrity of the property is evident in the architectural portholes known as "ojos de buey" - a type of cut-out window used to provide cross ventilation. Above the remaining original wooden doors, you can appreciate the semicircle shaped fanlight windows known as "soles truncos".
First Floor: 16' ft. ceilings make the already impressive first floor seem even grander. A lush interior courtyard patio serves as the unifying element providing natural light and cross ventilation, although all rooms are equipped with air conditioning. Formal living and dining rooms. Family room with built in storage and a half bath. Guest room with a full bath. Comfortable and private home office. Additional office or multipurpose room.

- 4,000 sq. ft. of interior living space + 1,500 sq. ft. exterior (semi-covered courtyard and rooftop terrace).
- Zoning: C-3 - The property is currently being used as a single-family residence, but zonification allows for various uses such as a multi-tenant apartment building, a historic guest house or operated as a mixed-use commercial-residential property.
- Property Taxes: The property is certified by the Puerto Rico Institute of Culture for having maintained historical integrity and is exonerated from paying property tax fees and rental capital gains until 2026. The certification is renewable.
