Property Description
A piece of art in the iconic Spanish Revival style, this villa was meticulously crafted in the 1930’s by esteemed architect Pedro Adolfo de Castro. The historic gem spans 4,006 square feet of living space, featuring 5 beds/3.5 baths over two buildings. Located just one block from the widest expanse of beach on the most desirable residential block between Ocean Park and Condado, the property sits on a massive 1099 square meter lot. The land benefits from RT3 zoning, presenting a unique development opportunity. Whether inhabiting this cultural marvel or developing a larger structure, it must be seen and experienced.
A vast Moroccan garden with water feature and lush landscaping greets visitors with dramatic flourish. As you approach the main entrance - look closely - tiny shells have been incorporated into the entire façade offering a glimpse of the intricacy that awaits.
Open the front door and witness the sophistication of the interiors, featuring 12-foot ceilings, grand Spanish-style arches, original Terrazzo flooring with ornate bronze seams, custom mahogany woodwork, and Spanish wrought iron. The formal entry and living room are surrounded by windows, continuing the harmonious flow of the tropical gardens outside.
Behind this grand reception room, a powder room with beautiful stained-glass windows, is conveniently located for visitors. Walk down the hallway, ornamented with immense arches for an aura of grandeur, to the formal library. Adjacent you’ll find a tremendous walk-in climate-controlled wine cave.
The kitchen is conveniently located nearby and harkens to colorful, classic Puerto Rican cuisine, while equipped with stainless steel and all modern appliances. Connected to the kitchen is the informal dining area and wet bar.
Float to the elegant formal dining room where a massive floor to ceiling window bathes the space in light. This accent window offers a new vantage point to witness the breath-taking sculpture garden and mosaic fountains outside, making for the most exquisite dining conversation.
A grand bronze staircase ascends to the second level where you will discover the home’s 3 beds/2 baths, home office, and truly unique Moroccan sitting room.
The expansive primary suite is a private sanctum of elegance and sophistication. Throw open the French doors to a romantic Juliette balcony overlooking the front garden below. Soak in the jacuzzi tub, an entire spa room apart from the ensuite bathroom for the ultimate in relaxation.
A distinct walking bridge from the second floor leads to an additional recently remodeled living quarter, which includes 1 bed/1 bath, an office space, and a large area currently serving as an art gallery.
From this level, ascend the grand outdoor spiral staircase, itself an architectural masterpiece, to view sunsets from the roof, or descend a second spiral staircase to the grounds below. The black bottomed pool, surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, is designed as both a beautiful focal point and for use and enjoyment.
This entire residence is completely gated for the utmost security, while the driveway leads to an enclosed, private three-car garage. The property is equipped with an automatic Generac-Diesel 30 KLV generator and a 600-gallon water cistern, ensuring uninterrupted convenience.
This home seamlessly blends contemporary amenities with preserved original elements, situated on one of the largest and most rare lots in Condado. Contact me today.
