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 facade 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.

Behind this grand reception room, a powder room with beautiful stained-glass windows, is conveniently located for visitors.
